Title: where to buy CO2
Post by: George2 on September 24, 2016, 08:32:45 PM
Hi,

   Does anyone know where I can buy some CO2, preferably in the east end of the city (Orleans)? I use paintball canisters and normally get them filled at Canadian Tire. However, the two Canadian Tires in my area are not able to sell it due to problems with their equipment.


Thanks!
George

I've seen this paintball place across from the Home Depot on Cyrville Rd.

I just picked up some CO2 at the Paintball Plus store. They're charging $8 for a 20oz (1.25lb) tank and $10 for a 24oz(1.5 lb)  tank. The person working there mentioned that Canadian Tire no longer sells CO2 so that limits the number of places to get it in Ottawa.   :(

So compared to CT, how much more is at the paintball place?

It is actually slightly cheaper than Canadian Tire. I think I used to pay around $15 for 24oz at Canadian Tire. (I can't remember the exact price because I have several canisters and I only go about once or twice a year to fill them up)
