zex bottle heater, sucks.

the thermostat does not heat the bottle, it only keeps it warm once you warm it up. its really not worth buying.

your best bet is to get the NOS bottle warmer. it brings an external thermostat that you *should* not instal. the only issue is that you have to remember to turn the bottle warmer off once the bottle is warm/hot. it will take about 5-10 minutes to get the bottle HOT.

you will have to time it. test it. check to see how long it takes to get the bottle at the temp that you desire. then you can just turn it on for 2 minutes at a time to keep it warm or hot as you desire.

imo, the Zex bottle warmer sucks.

the zex bottle warmer will *NEVER* heat the bottle enough to make the safety pressure blow-off valve open up. i used it during the winter and summer and it never even made the bottle warm enough to get 900 psi.

Dynotune has a pressure regulated bottle heater and it is reasonably priced. Most of teh people on PO.com are using it and none have had any complaints.

^^that bottle warmer sounds like a good investment if it is adjustable. pressure wise.
