<< how do others fill there argon bottles? can you get a good 
 enough fill from cascading?  >>

Jackie,
            Locally, most of us use low pressure bottles for Argon.  Mine is
rated @1800psi.  As such, we can get a good fill by cascading.  I made some
dives with a fellow using a 6 cuft. aluminum tank rated for 3000psi.  He was
topping his off with air to get it up to pressure. (Probably reduces its
insulation qualities, however.)

           Personally I wouldn't want to get a breathing mix fill from a
station that was using the same booster or fill whips to pump argon.  Why
take the chance?

Hope this helps,

Bob D.
