Shipping Notices:
-
The Argon Mini can only be shipped by UPS Ground in the Lower 48 States. Canadian customers, please call to place your order at +1 801-658-0015.
-
No Return Policy. The shipping fees and limitations associated with shipping compressed gas impede the ability to accept return orders on this product.
The Argon Mini Plus is available in packs of 2, 4, and 6. The price per tank decreases when the purchase quantity increases. Every Argon Mini Plus shipment, regardless of how many tanks are included, requires an additional $45 hazardous material fee mandated by the shipping carrier. The hazardous material fee is included in the price displayed for each pack.
Purchasing Tip: The hazardous material fee is per shipment, NOT per tank. Youll save money when you order more tanks in one shipment.
The Argon Mini Plus is designed for one-time use only. The tank cannot be refilled. However, the tank can be recycled with a local metal recycler (ask your local recycler for more information on how to prepare your tank for recycling). To that point, Sunstone encourages you to recycle all depleted tanks.
How Many Welds from One Tank?
The Argon Mini Plus should provide enough argon for one welder for a weekend pop-up. The number of welds you get depends upon several different factors, but you should be able to complete a minimum 1300 welds with one tank. You may get more or you may get less depending on a number of different factors.
Will I Need an Argon Regulator?
Yes. The Argon Mini Plus and the Argon Mini use the same regulator. Other regulators will NOT fit the Argon Mini Plus.
Say "Yes!" to Argon
Argon is a key ingredient to quality permanent jewelry welding. Argon improves both the strength and appearance of your welds. By removing pesky oxygen from around the weld you’ll avoid porosity (ugly pockmarks) and hard-to-remove soot. When you use argon, you give your customers the best possible quality and service.
Sunstone makes access to argon at any event easy. The Argon Mini Plus is small enough to fit in a shoulder bag or container yet provide all the argon you may need for a weekend pop-up.
A Tank for Every Need: Meet the Sunstone Argon Family
Sunstone provides three different sizes of argon tanks: Small, Smaller, and Smallest. While argon is key to quality welding, a tank of argon probably does not contribute to your aesthetic. So we make our tanks small to keep your customers’ attention on the jewelry, not the gas! Here’s what we offer:
Argon Mini. Sunstone’s smallest tank will fit in your purse, only 11.75 inches tall, provides .95 liters of premium argon, and delivers about 650 welds. For events that last only a few hours, the Argon mini will rock your world!
Argon Mini Plus. A tad larger than our smallest tank, the Argon Mini Plus is perfect for weekend pop-ups or events. At only 12 inches in height, the Plus will easily fit in a shoulder bag yet deliver 1.9 liters of premium argon, enough for about 1,300 welds.
Argon. Our largest tank can be easily stored under a workbench, standing only 27” tall but providing 10 liters of premium argon. With this tank, you can weld for a long time before you run out of gas. Unlike the Argon Mini and Argon Mini Plus, this tank can be refilled when empty. You can order a refill from Sunstone and have it delivered right to your door! Or, you can refill your tank at your nearest argon gas provider.
See the Argon Gas Tank size comparison chart below to find out which tank will work best for you!
The Argon Mini Plus gets at least 2x more welds than a standard Argon Mini!
How Many Welds Can You Really Get from One Tank?
The number of welds you get from a tank will differ from tank to tank. Why? Because of so many environmental, usage, and hardware factors. The following factors contribute to the number of weld you may get from one tank:
-
The number of times you connect and disconnect the argon tube to your welder
-
The number of times you connect and disconnect the regulator
-
Possible loss due to unnoticed leaks
-
Regulator pressure settings
-
Barometric pressure
-
Temperature
-
Elevation
Tank Dimensions:
Each tank is 4in and 3/16 wide, and 12in tall with the black rubber boot.
