Default nitrous bottle warmer/heater question

is the NX bottle heater really that much better than say a zex? i mean to the advantages of a NX bottle heater outweigh the face that it costs $100+ more? and a zex bottle heater should work fine on my NX bottle right? thanks

A heater is a heater?

I'm not saying that one is definatly better than the other but... a heater is not a heater..

heaters are rated by there ability to produce heat.

If one matches the temperature drop of the can better than the other then it's better.

I don't know which is better but I'm sure one is.

also note, likely the ZEX heater is just a NX heater, reboxed.

Compare the remote valve openers from both companys.

Did this person rig the bottle warmer to stay on all the time??? I guess 3000+ psi could rip your car in half

well i know that the NX heater is good, it shuts off at a certian temp and then turns back on when it goes below a certian temp, so if you do leave it on it wont go over into unsafe temps. its a very nice setup

With a result like that from a "bad heater,"
I'm skeptical about getting ANY heater.
