My son in law looked as happy that I got it as I am. He just took a welding class with his brother last year at my alma mater (Diman Voc), he did really well.
Some one told me they went to fill a bottle for their welder and Air Gas refused to fill it because he didn't buy it there. It is current on it's cert, I just wondering if any one of you had a problem like this. I was going to buy a used bottle but don't want any head aches later on.

I'd ask to see if the used bottle needs a hydro (should be done every 5-10 years, depending on what your using). Normally they will take the used bottle on a swap and add the hydro fee if it's out of date.
For example:
16) DOT-3A or 3AA cylinders.
(i) A cylinder made in conformance with specification DOT-3A or 3AA with a water capacity of 125 pounds or less that is removed from any cluster, bank, group, rack or vehicle each time it is filled, may be retested every ten years instead of every five years, provided the cylinder complies with all of the following-
(A) The cylinder was manufactured after December 31, 1945;
(B) The cylinder is used exclusively for air, argon, cyclopropane, ethylene, helium, hydrogen, krypton, neon, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, sulfur hexafluoride, xenon, permitted mixtures of these gases (see §173.301(a)) and permitted mixtures of these gases with up to 30 percent by volume of carbon dioxide, provided that the gas has a dew point at or below minus 52° F at 1 atmosphere;

Other than that, never had a problem getting a bottle filled.
