I haven't used it yet but I have been working at putting an oxygen setup together for the last couple of months.jacinthebox wrote:Looking for an o2 set up now (one that I can afford)
For the air filter and stone part of the setup, I don't think you can do better than OBK's wand (I went for the wand after reading people complain about the pain of having a stone at the end of tubing and not being able to control placement). Managed to get this in a big order so shipping was negated.
The bugger is the regulator. I got in on Liam's BrewHardware.com group buy and picked up one of these. By the time USD exchange and customs were factored in, though, I figure I paid close to double that, over CAD$50 for sure. If you've got someone who can reship from the States you'd be laughing. HopDawgs is the only Canadian brewshop I know of that carries those, which they sell for $44.99 but have been out of stock on them for a while.
Your other option is to look at jewellery supply companies, but as an example Gesswein Canada has this one but by the time you add tax and shipping you're looking at CAD$100. Maybe plumbing supply companies? Medical supply companies (for small portable oxygen systems)? Or troll Kijiji for a someone (e.g., a jeweler) selling a Smith Little Torch or similar small oxy-acetylene or oxy-propane setup? I jumped on that BrewHardware buy pretty quick exactly so I wouldn't have to go hunting like this.
All in all I think you'll be lucky if you can get set up for $100 (which was my target, although I obviously didn't quite do that well).
