Default Alternative nitrous bottles? options?

Ok, so im beginning to piece together my nitrous kit for my crx. its fully stripped, now with a healthy b18a inside. now i want a power adder until i can save up enough $ for my planned turbo setup(don't tell me to just save the money please), so obviously nitrous is the next step. problem is i don't want to have everyone who looks at my car to know i have nitrous. and im not putting a sub box in a stripped out car with no sterio, so thats out

so what are my options for using smaller than 10lb bottles? can i use a Co2 paintball tank? they hold up to around 1500psi before the safety disk blows, which would be fine for the 1000 or so psi of a nitrous system. i assume that there is no reason that this wouldn't work, both compressed gasses, both expand under heat, both get really cold under expansion.

what other bottles can i use? i need it to be small(and im not paying a lot for brand name nitrous bottles), and cheap. about the size of a 12oz paintball tank if that relates to you.

thanks for the input

i like the bottle idea, except i think they are too pricey for my taste.

the stash idea doesn't work in my car. by stripped i really mean stripped. nothing but my momo seat and stock passenger seat(sometimes).

thanks and bump!

do what i did. strip out all tar, heater, ac, everthing. then put the interior back in so it is a "shell" of interior that plastic doesnt weight much . put a 15lb bottle in the back under the hatch cover-yes it will fit fine. no one will see your nitrous and no one will know you are stripped unless they ride in the car or drive the car. or the other way strippout under the dash and put a bottle under there. but i prefer the element of suprise muahahha

If your car is totally stripped why hide a bottle, nobody is going to think massive guttage is the only mod.

if i have the nitrous hidden, then its plausable deniability. i then have the ability to show what i brought(i won't lie), without giving away all my secrets. its nice to look into a car and see nothing, rather than looking into a car and seeing nothing but a bottle. that much weight reduction + a nitrous bottle could spell a serious car(in some peoples eye), where as a stripped car that appears to be an NA non vtec engine is only so dangerous.

anyways please try to stay on topic. what alternatives are there to commercial nitrous bottles in small sizes?

thanks
