Right so Ive been looking into this, theres a place local that quoted me £187 for 11l bottle mix of 5% co2 Argon with all regs/valves fitted, i almost fainted...

so bit more investigation and found this place up north, has anyone used them, there terms and pricing seam to be pretty good imo.

Any help would be good.

dont buy it,rent it.
I pay £6 a month rent and it costs £18 to fill up at their HQ in Hull or £27 at a franchisee in scarboro.
Ive had that bottle 2 years now and still loads left.
Thats energas.

For how little you'll be using it you might aswell get disposable bottles.

And anyone who claims they last half hour talks utter bolloxs as theyve always lasted me an age. Ask Lee if you dont belive me.

Agreed, I've done a LOT of welding on my Nova and used only a few bottles.

this ^ I have a 20L bottle and it costs me £3 a month rent and £30 to fill, it's a local company but pretty sure it's energas that fill it

Not sure if this company would be any good http://www.hobbyweld.co.uk/default.php?page=1&t=Home

No rental charge on the bottles though.
