If everyone would be so kind as to provide info on where you get your cylinders refilled, regardless of location, I will make this a "sticky". Please help out our fellow hobbyists and thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi, Sarf. If you don't come right elsewhere, I may be able to arrange for you to use my company's Afrox account. They are open on Saturdays. Otherwise, have you considered Chubb Fire? I know it's not beverage grade, but many use it without issue.

To tell you the truth, I've never refilled my own, our driver normally does it for me, but I know for a fact that our 12kg cylinder is from Afrox.

A bit far out and in the middle of nowhere, but if you ask them nicely they deliver for free (they fill it while you wait, but the technician is never there, so best to leave overnight). Flashgo Fire Services CC 141 11th Ave Retreat Cape Town 021 7125222 R142.50 for a 5KG refill. |

There's a few other paintball clubs (one just around the corner from me in Durbanville) that also offer free refills, which is quite nice for those who have paintball co2 kits.

Nope, however, you do get an adapter that allows you to use a standard regulator on paintball cylinders.
