      My first CO2 bottle started life under a fountain head ... and   
   they're right , better penetration but more cleanup . I've used CO2 from   
   the time I bought a MIG machine . Tried C25 at first with a tiny bottle   
   and it was OK ... then Bill gave me the CO2 bottle . And the rest is   
   history .
