Default Nitrous jet spray characteristics/patterns

I have heard many different things regarding different companies having patented spray patterns but which truly works best ? What are we really looking for with this pattern ? Is it like fuel where we are looking for atomization ? But nitrous is a gas, or atleast it is while under high pressure. Does it turn to liquid once this pressure is reduced ?

Um, gases turn into liquids under pressure, not the other way around.

Do have an answer to my question or are you going to just make smart remarks ? There is a difference between making a comment to better inform and being an ***.

Only person being an *** here is you.

This question. Answer is, no it can't turn into a liquid as pressure is reduced, as gases do not work that way. It is, however, a liquid at a high enough pressure in a container.

I can't answer about spray patterns, so I didn't.

Notice that no one else has even bothered to reply to this. That alone should tell you something about how absurd your original post was. You started off so well asking about spray patterns, then demonstrated that you slept through basic high school physics.

Obviously you can not read. I didn't say that you were incorrect in what you said. The way you are going about saying it is pure *******. And I am sorry I don't remember high school physics its been awhile, I didn't realize it was a requirement to be on this site.

High school physics is not a requirement to be on this site, not being rude is, calling someone an ******* for correcting your mistake is rude, you need to suck that kind of stuff up and move on.

Now before you dump on me for I can tell you this, it is a liquid in the bottle when under pressure, it quickly turns into a gas when not under pressure, that's why a purge switch is a must, to purge the gas from the lines and bring liquid up to the solenoid.
The point of the spray pattern is to properly/thoroughly mix the nitrous oxide with the air, [dry system] atomization is not a real issue as it turns to a gas almost instantly as it leaves the spray nozzle.
IMO the spray pattern is much more important in a wet system then in a dry system. 94

its not even high school physics, its elementary school physics, which you should know regardless of schooling...

as for spray pattern, well.. it would depend much on the location of the injector. If you have it before the throttle body, its not as critical as it would be near the valves. Similar to injector patterns.
