A quick (rough) calculation:

Say you use about 15 liters(?) of Argon in your suit and want to dive to 100 
m;
15 x (100/10 ) = 150 liters

 If you have a 2 litre Argon bottle;
150/2 = 75 bar (net. consumption)

Add 10 bar since you are at 100m and 10 bar for the first stage (MP);
75 + 10 + 10 = 95 bar

i.e. fill your bottle to at least 150 bars....

| I seem to use around 30 bar out of a 2 litre cylinder for 80m (264') dive.
| I think I used about 50 bar for a 105 m (346') dive water temp 4 deg C.
| This is with a DUI 200g thinsulate and DUI Crusted neoprene dry suit and
| thermal underwear.  Twin Steel 12.5s and 10.4 Ali stages.  Wing for
| buoyancy, but put a bit more in the suit on the shallow deco stops.
