What are you guys paying for Helium?
My current gas supplier, GTS Welco (Praxair) sells me "technical divers grade O2" and the cost is reasonable (42 plus tank rent plus environmental fee). It isnt industrial grade which they have at half the price, but they will only sell me the Divers grade Since they know what Im doing.
And for the record - I have read Oxyhacker and everything else out there so I do understand the differences in GMP, UHP, industrial, etc.
The same place quoted me 210 for Helium - again technical divers grade(all of these prices are for a K bottle). Another supplier 35 miles away quoted me 110 for helium (uhp)and 25 for O2 (uhp).......
Why the price difference???
I asked several times and GTS swares that no one is going to sell it for 110 - even though I told them the place that is. The benefit of GTS is they are 2 miles from my house.
I am likely to switch suppliers even though its a far drive.......If I go through 2 bottles of He and 3 of o2 per month - the cost is so significant that it is worth the drive...
