The fine print…
*Free air-fills refer to normal air (21% Oxygen) and for current UBC Students only. We will fill a maximum of two tanks per individual, within the course of our normal filling schedule at the Shop (i.e., when there are a group of tanks requiring fills, or about every other day or so).
