Hey all I bought a MIG welder and it comes with a regulator for a full size bottle but I'm only getting into it so bought a mini disposable bottle. Rather than having to buy a full conversion kit and new regulator is it possible to buy an adapter that would go from the mini bottle to the full size regulator? I'm trying to not have to spend another 50-60 quid if I dont need to.
You can buy an adaptor but once you have used it and seen how long (not) the disposable bottle lasts you will realise it was a waste of money. Get a pub gas bottle if funds are tight. Under £20 and probably at least 10x as much gas if not more
Pub bottles are normally sold in lbs. 14lb is a common size, You would be lucky if a disposable contains 500g for a tenner so well over 20x the gas for under twice the price.
So this isn't as good as it sounds https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-MIG...ocphy=1007850&hvtargid=pla-452488743526&psc=1
Dont waste your money. The disposable bottles are listed as how much gas is put in to try and trick you in to thinking its a good deal. I pay around 60 quid to fill a 30L hobby bottle. That's pressurized to 200Bar, so 6000L of gas for 60quid vs the 20quid for 60L
60 Litres of compressed gas (in a circa 1 litre bottle) will last you all of 10 minutes welding time.
Hobbyweld 5 gas in their smallest cylinder (1.4m3 = 1400litres) is approx £70 REFUNDABLE (less handling charge) deposit + £45 for the gas
