I'd look on Craigslist and see if you can get a used tank. Doesn't matter what it is because you
Can trade it in for a different gas. If you did buy a new one you're looking at anywhere from $150-300.
Ballpark figures from what I've seen. Also, after you get the hang of Tig you should look into adding
Helium to your aluminum. It's worth it! Just something to keep in mind. Best of luck and let us know
How it goes.
