I'd like to try using CO2 with my airbrush. I'm currently using a 10
gal. portable air tank which is kind of big and bulky.
Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to use CO2, such as regulators,
guages, valves, etc., as well as the approximate cost. What size do
CO2 tanks come in and what the initial cost as well as the refill
cost, on average? Where's the best place to buy this stuff, a welding
supply house? Any and all info or tips appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary

I don't use CO2, so i wouldn't know the answers to most of your questions.

But, i do know you'll need gauges (Probably one before the regulator to show
tank pressure, and one after to show regulated pressure), and a regulator
(CO2 tanks store the CO2 at a very high pressure, don't want to explode your
airline or something :)
