Hey folks,
I've been investigating some options in the New England area to get oxygen, but it is proving more of a challenge than I anticipated. Seems no one will refill an AVO bottle and outside of trying to buy and fill a tank for welding O2 (read an interesting article on that), the only option is the medical route. I reached out to my doctors office, and they have been super helpful, but the options we're coming up with so far are not great. One place has really good pricing, but they only offer their own tanks and will exchange for a small refill fee as needed. This means a tank with an CGA870 valve, which would then need either an adaptor to CGA540 (and use with Aerox or MH systems) or it feasible to use the CGA870 reg with an Aerox flow valve and cannula? Hoping to learn from some of you more experienced aviators!
