Hi guys, I am thinking of ordering some Argon/co2 mix . However, i return to uni in a few weeks. Will it be ok when i come home or will some of the gas have escaped? Thanks
Providing the cylinder valve doesn't leak (you do get the odd one), you turn off your regulator & your gas line has no leaks it should last more or less indefinately.

Also - don't be tempted to over tighten them 'just in case'.
The seals in the cylinder valves and regulators are quite soft and should only need to be hand tight to provide a decent seal.
