Not to date myself, but I remember when dive shops boasted refrigerated water cooled fills, or let the hot tank cool for 30-60 minutes, whilest I mill about the shop and have to hear about the latest gear (shop owners disregard the last sentance). Now, I notice shops giving me, non-water cooled, straight air hot fills. They do pump it up a bit, for the cool down factor, and are good about this varible. So, is a hot fill better than and cold fill?? I don't mean from a marketing stand point.
