Take a look at that thread.
Some good info on that thread about getting an adapter so that you can use the 5lb. (or 20lb.) co2 canisters. I don't think anyone fills co2 tanks here. Airgas ships them to Honolulu for filling, that's why they have an exchange program where you drop off a tank and exchange it for a full one. If you are attached to keeping your own tank there will be a waiting period of several weeks. Keep in mind that the thread was from 2013. At that time Airgas was not exchanging 5lb. tanks, but they do now. The prices listed in the thread will be about 1/2 of what the prices are today.
They do have food grade co2, but my understanding is that it isn't much different. I buy the food grade anyway.
