not the cheapest way to buy gas.. but ok for those small jobs.
ours look like over size spray paint cans about 100mm round / 500mm high..
I use that crappy self sheilding wire in my mig... Have a 11 cubic metre bottle of
argon for the Tig , lets just say I aquired it.. don't know what I will
do when it runs out...

The closest I can get to disposable would be a rental, but even renting a small tank like a 20cu.ft. unit would end up costing around 40 bucks for a month. I have plans to get another tank here soon as I have a few winter projects I want to work on in both aluminum and stainless.
I wish I had my own tig setup... I would get into too much trouble lol. Thankfully, I am quite handy with a spool gun, and most of my welding experience is with aluminum. At one time in my life I used to weld frames for box trucks, semi trailers, and the like, which are usually 3 to 6mm thick box and L tubing. Lots of people find it weired that I am better with aluminum than steel, but it's just what I have the most experience with.
