How big of a one do you have? Only pretty large frame ones really have them. Small argons just use a ballast instead, which is just part of the main tubing. It doesn’t replace any gas, and just provides a buffer to ensure there’s enough to keep the arc going. I personally have never owned an Ion big enough to have one. There is usually a button on the supply to add reserve gas if it has it equipped.
