Default nitrous bottle heater help

Hi, a friend of my has a nitrous system and wants a bottle heater. I was searching for the best option at an affordible price. He was thinking on the zex that is automatic and maintains the heat by a thermostat or the NX also fully automatic controlled by a pressure controlled transducer. I will apreciatte if you can tell me your opinion or give me another good choice at an affordible price. Thanks

the zex one turns off at a set temp w/ the tstat and sometimes that set temp isnt when the bottle has optimal psi when you add in different variables like ambient temps and how much n2o is left in the bottle.

when i had nitrous i ran the heater blanket straight to a switch and an accessory 12v source where its only on when the cars on. but a while later i got a nx transducer from ebay.

The best bang for the buck out there is the unit from Dyno-Tune. Its the same 250W heater that everyone else sells now but its considerably cheaper. you can buy just the heater and run it off a switch (how I like to) or you can buy their automatic pressure setup that is basically the same as NX's and keeps it within 50psi.
