Welding supply houses generally "lease" the botlle and its content.  Because
of the maintenance requirements imposed on gas suppliers by law, this assures
them that they can comply.  When the bottle is empty, they then lease you a
replacement.  IMHO, I doubt anyone will fill a propane bottle with CO2,
because of the insurance and legal issues.
But you could call them and ask.  Can't hurt, and it only costs a quarter.
