I think it is well known among people who have a clue that the filling is always done the same. But for some funny reason, I personnally get a warm fuzzy feeling from a lot number than can be traced. Now I know that is no guarentee either, but for the buck extra, I 'll splurge. I know my supplier treats all bottles identically when they come in (they are drained and purged) but i am not sure if all suplliers do this for industrial. I think this is required for medical. Anyway, I still prefer gas in a botlle marked medical, be it o2 or he2.
