How to Choose the Right Argon Tank for Your Permanent Jewelry Business
When it comes to permanent jewelry, the quality of your weld depends on more than your welder — it depends on your argon. But with multiple tank options available, how do you choose the right one for your business? Let’s break it down.
Why Argon Matters
Argon protects your weld from oxygen and contaminants, resulting in smooth, strong, and polished joins. Without argon, your welds may show pockmarks, soot, or weak bonding. Every Sunstone permanent jewelry artist uses argon to guarantee consistent, professional results.
The Sunstone Argon Family
Sunstone offers three sizes of argon tanks, each designed to fit different working styles and environments:
-
Argon Mini – Our smallest tank, perfect for short pop-ups or half-day events. It’s about 11.75 inches tall, holds 0.95 liters of premium argon, and provides around 650 welds. Small enough to fit in your purse!
-
Argon Mini Plus – Designed for weekend pop-ups and mobile setups. It’s 12 inches tall, holds 1.9 liters, and delivers up to 1,300 welds. Compact, powerful, and perfectly balanced for portability.
-
Argon Tank – The best option for studio or salon use. Standing 27 inches tall and holding 10 liters of argon, this tank can be refilled for long-term convenience and cost savings.
Matching the Tank to Your Workload
If you travel often or do events, the Argon Mini Plus offers the ideal mix of portability and performance. For full-time, in-salon artists, the larger Argon Tank provides steady supply and refill capability. If your business focuses on short demos or occasional pop-ups, the Argon Mini gives you just what you need — nothing more, nothing less.
One More Tip: Always Use the Right Regulator
Both the Argon Mini and Argon Mini Plus use the Argon Mini Regulator, which is designed specifically for these tanks. Using a non-compatible regulator could result in leaks or poor performance.
No matter where you weld — at a salon, a local market, or a weekend pop-up — Sunstone makes argon access easy, portable, and reliable. Choose the tank that fits your business and keep your welds flawless every time.
