Title: Where to get oxygen in Atlanta?
Post by gonz2112 on Nov 26^th, 2011 at 4:20pm

I just started a cycle after my longest break ever, 5 years. I really that they were gone for good : (

Anyway, I'm having trouble finding a source for oxygen in the Atlanta area. The only company I found with large tanks is Apria and they want $187 a month. In the past I think I paid around $65 a tank.

Anybody know of a company in the area?

Yes, I have both. I actually have a tank that the company I used last time never picked up. They are no longer in business. Do you know how I can get it filled? Someone told me a welding supply company, but I don't know how I'd transport it.

SCORE. Just take it to your closest welding gas dealer and trade it in for a full one.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I could do that. I'll give it a try on Monday.

Just an update. My work has a company that delivers welding gas so we asked them to bring a tank to swap with mine. The guy came out today and didn't want to touch my tank since it has another company's name on it. He let me take the tank he brought for me and only charged me $35 for the contents. He said it's stamped as medical grade for whatever that's worth. So that worked out good.
