E-Bay is your best bet, I bought a nice one there real cheap. Look for seller booboocoon, quality stuff, good to deal with.

One like this is designed for a medical oxygen tank size E: http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-Medical-Oxygen-Tank-Regulator-0-15-lpm_W0QQitemZ180030050379QQihZ008QQcategoryZ11819QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You need to look for one that has a range of up to 15 liters per minute. That small tank (I'm assuming is an E) only has 680 liters of O2 that will not last you a very long time--less than one night for me.

You would be better off to buy or rent a couple of welding oxygen tanks say a 40CF or 60CF and a regular medical regulator made for a large tank. That way you can have it filled without a hassle and for cheaper.

You did mean NON-REBREATHER right?
