jrc Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Can I use multiple e tanks with a 15lpm regulator or do I need a bigger tank? Quote
CHfather Posted July 29 Posted July 29 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
jon019 Posted July 29 Posted July 29 ....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

This is sound advice. @jrc give us a little more information as to what you are trying to achieve. Edited July 29 by Racer1_NC 1 Quote
jrc Posted July 30 Author Posted July 30 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
jon019 Posted July 30 Posted July 30 ...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
Racer1_NC Posted July 30 Posted July 30 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. 1 1 Quote
