Hello All, Last week we ordered a new tank of Liquid Nitrogen and it is almost full. As we are getting close to second quarter, we are looking to see if we can have the tank empty this week before September 30. We would appreciate if you could fill your tanks, so that we can process the chargebacks before quarter end. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Have a really great day!
