Hi, I just wanted to get a quick opinion from the N2O users on this forum. How do you guys all maintain bottle pressure?

Do you use a visible gauge and flip the heater switch on and off manually?

Do you have some sort of sensor that knows when to stop heating the bottle?

Or what other solutions are there...?

tia.

 

i use a plain old bottle heater and i just turn it off when it gets where i want. the pressure raises slow enough that you should be able to keep an eye on it.

Be careful doing this, if you forget to turn it off and for some odd reason the pressure relief vavle gets stuck, good bye car.

 

well i use the NOS bottle heater and it has a built in thermostat that will shut off when the bottle gets to a certain tempature,and it works great

 

propane torch.....yes I'm old school.

 

i have a bottle heater but i think it is dying, so i either use a torch like homey said above me, although it does considerably weaken the metal over time, or if im bout to hit the streets, a sink of hottttt assss water will do just fine then i wrap it in my bottle blanket and it stays good long enough to use it

 

any bottle warming kit you buy now (that isnt an ebay pos one) comes with a auto shutoff system. they are whether pressure sensing or temperature sensing.

 

propane tourch for me as well cheap and dosent take long to heat it up.

but effective...

 

This was back in the day but - NX bottle heater kit. Works good as hell. It always kept the bottle I think between 900 - 1000 psi with a pressure sensor on the bottle.
