jrc Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Can I use multiple e tanks with a 15lpm regulator or do I need a bigger tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Just to clarify the question -- Do you mean connecting the e-tanks together somehow so you have a longer-lasting supply without having to switch the regulator from one tank to another? I'm pretty sure this can be done with welding O2 tanks, but I don't know about medical tanks. @Racer1_NC will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon019 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago ....i always had 4-6 e tanks in house...used mostly for travel and work...for home it was 1-2 m60 which lasted at least twice as long as an e. regulators for each (different) can be purchased on Amazon and i bought 25 lpm versions tho i usually only needed 12-15.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sound advice. @jrc give us a little more information as to what you are trying to achieve.

jrc Posted 15 hours ago Author Share Posted 15 hours ago I have an e tank now but only one and no regulator. I read I needed a bigger tank but am having trouble getting one so I'm wondering if multiple e tanks will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon019 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago ...an oxygen tank w/o a regulator is just a chunk of metal. for me an e tank lasted about 2 aborts and maybe part of a third, so yes, ya need more than 1. before m60's were available i always had 6 e's. get yurself a regulator (Amazon, or O2 shop, but that'll cost too much to lease or buy from them) and a deal with an O2 shop to swap out empties. an ABSOLUTE necessity is a non-rebreather mask, the best is from the catalog link at clusterheadaches.com. ask us more details please, i'm not quite sure where you are in this journey... best jon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer1_NC Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Here is cost effective option for a regulator: Amazon to the rescue. As @jon019 said, you'll need a GOOD mask from here: Cluster O2 Kit As for the number of tanks, I have 8 E tanks sitting in my basement right now...waiting. So, the answer is you will need more than one tank. Even if you obtained the largest tank available, you'd still another to switch to when you ran the first one empty. Never get caught without something that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
