There are now refillable cylinders that work exactly the same as your old one time use cylinders, except they can be refilled for up to 12 years. A simple refill costs approximately $2.25 which is about half the price of a non-refillable. Purchasing and refilling or exchanging the cylinder four times saves approximately $5.00 compared to purchasing 5 non-refillable cylinders!
