Where are you from and how much are you presently paying for Helium in your area? Thanks.

My local Airgas is limiting breathing grades to the Navy and the hospital, and airgas is the only game in town. He ordered 17 cylinders for the Navy last week and received 11.

Not a trimix diver, but I was on DRIS's website today looking at fill prices and they have helium at $2.25/cf. Chicago area.

There is a stack of pending orders at my gas supplier. They got a small shipment last week and that's the first they have had in 3 months.

Just got word that it is just under $6 in Truk. That is a cubic foot, not a fill. I got mine the first of the year. Have not gone shopping in months.

Paying a bit less than US$250 per 50L 300Bar Tank (actually contains 13600 Liters).
I can remember paying one and a half times that 25 years ago but that was for a bundle (12 storage Tanks on a steel pallet).
Then, as now, no problem getting gas since I'm on their books as a specialty welding shop
