anyone have, or know anyone who has, a 10 or 20 lb co2 tank for sale? this 5 lb is just too small and runs out too often

How long is it lasting? 5lbs should push at least 5 kegs if you are force carbing, maybe even more than that. If it's less than that you may have a leak.
I know James and I keep an eye out on craigslist for these so we'll let you know if we find one. James also has a hookup at one of the local gas companies so he may be able to get you a 5lb to 20lb swap for not to much money.

it lasted 4 i think, but would like a little bigger. i was also playing a little with carbonating while conditioning (carbonating new kegs a littlle at a time every few days to be ready to drink in a day when wanted, so that might have cut it's life,). 10 would be better, but would go 20 too. upgrade swap would also be better than buying a new 1, too, as i doubt i'll need 2

the bonus to having 2, is you can use the 5# for taking kegs to parties, and you can swap tainks while waiting for a refill.. I use a 20oz paintball tank to keep the system going while i get my tank filled.
