Default Nitrous refill question????

Im thinking about going with a zex wet kit for my d16 hatchback. What are some prices it costs to refill a bottle (10 lbs). Just want to get an idea of the cost.

Generally n2o is about $1.00-2.00pd depending on the area. It's about $1.50 here in Detroit.

pd=pounds, so somewhere between 10-20 dollars to fill.

So you were paying 40-50 to fill a 10lb tank? Wow, thats kind of ridiculous. Maybe its medical grade? Because I know medical grade n2o is quite a bit more expensive.

nope, it Ny-Trous, an n2o with sulfur for auto use only...if you'll tell me where you're getting it for 1.50 a lb, I'll buy evey last ounce they have and sell it here for the profit margin of a lifetime...

I believe Ramchargers up here in Michigan refills 10lb for 20-25 dollars. Don't hold me to that, I haven't filled a tank through them in a few years but thats what it used to be.

Obviously prices have gone up a lot in the last 3-4 years. Just called Ramchargers and it is now $45.05 to fill a 10lb tank. Wow! Makes me reconsider using n2o as a supercharger pre-cooler.

No bullshit, 3-4 years ago, I used to fill the tank in my Jetta for $25 and change. Man, inflation sucks ***. Makes me wonder why nitrous is know as the "most bang for you buck" upgrade. Cheap to get into but cost over time would be high if you drive like I do.

the last time I filled one was like 10 months ago, and I paid 35.00 for a 10 lb can...but that 2.00 a lb is a little far-fetched...

Pd= pound

Back when I was running the nawzzzzzz It was $27 to fill a 10 lb bottle.

You do the math, Nos is like leasing power, it sounds cheap up front, its fun while it last, but in the end you have nothing to show for it

I currently pay 145 $ canadian for a 65 pound cyl of N2O.
Filling station size ( size 44 cylinder i think )--- I just order one to fill my own bottle.
other than that ,around here, it's 4.20$ canadian a pound, wich run you 42 canadian buck's for a bottle.
