43974, nos bottle heater
Posted by trickedeclipse, May-02-01 02:40 AM
let me know what you guys think...

the guy at the NOS refill station in my city told me that i shouldn't buy a heater for my bottle. he said that since it's basically in the back seat and not in the trunk, it'll never really be cold because i will turn the car's heater on if i get cold, and this will warm the bottle. he told me to only buy a bottle blanket. does this sound right?

Uhhh...well, ask that guy if for some reason he thinks you would enjoy rideing around in your car and keeping it at 85 degrees in there....cause thats the temp that bottle has to be at to reach the minimum pressure u should spray from(900psi) i know that in the winter, and even just at night, my bottle pressure will drop to 600psi, and i dont think there would be any way that you could use the cars heater to warm up the bottle that much. for one it would take FOREVER, and u would most likely have to drive naked cause it would be so damn hot in ur car. i say get the NOS bottle warmer...it shuts off when the bottle reaches 85 degrees, even if you still have the toggle in the on position, cause it has a thermostat. during summer days u will not need it, but u will be glad u have it during the winter or cool summer nights.

We haven't been using a heater just a bottle blanket but I would recomend it as the only time we are anywhere near 900psi is right when we fill the bottle or it is terribly hot outside.
Getting a heater in the near future ourselves, just seems like a good investment :)
