AU$150 for an oxy reg, gun and 10m of HP hose then after that it's the rental on the bottles that kills the fun. A G bottle (7m3) or industrial grade compressed nitrogen (Moisture at 15ºC <100ppm at full cylinder pressure BOC product #032) costs only about AU$66 to fill and lasts a good year or so even when used frequently.
