bottles have the same thread that you screw your valve/regulator thingy into! I know they are different gas etc and the regulator on the MIG looks different than the one on the TIG but do both screw into the same hole! Ta.

Mate, do you know if its 'doable' that when you finish the Argosheild in your MIG bottle that you can ask/get them to fill the same bottle with straight Argon so you can hook it up to a TIG!

Are there any places that will fill your own bottle and relabel, I havnt heard of any outfit that does.

I've broken the BOC cycle and got my own size G. Bought it filled with Argosheild for my MIG but want to know if I can get it filled with just straight Argon for TIG use. Supagas filled my bottle first time. No problems for them to fill owner bottles.

The colour of the paint is different - the mix gas and straight argon have the same manufacturing standard.So yes - you can and I ave done it before. Get Supagas to refill and test your bottles. They are the best - saved me hundreds of dollars in BOC rentals over the years. Oxy and argon are also the same, so look for old oxy bottles as well.
