bottle warmer booster idea

[1DangerousV6]

i have some trouble getting my tank much over 950 psi even though i have a bottle warmer..i may look into a blanket as well..however..as a snowboarder i am familiar with those hand warmers you open up and they get pretty damn warm..im wondering what thoughts are on slapping a few of those on the bottom rear side of the tank as a little booster [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I dunno how much faster it will speed the process up though. It does take some time to heat a bottle up, I usually start mine up on the way to the track so it is ready when I get there.

Your idea might get expensive to gain a few minutes after awhile though buying all those warmers all the time.

yeah i usually start heating mine on the way too..those little bastards are expensive..do you use a blanket?..do you think just adding that would take care of it?

I don't use a nitrous blanket, but I do throw my own blanket from my house over it to hide it. I say just stick with the heater and don't mess with the packets

I wouldn't use those. They are too hard to regulate. I used to use those when I played Outdoor paintball, in winter. We'd use them to keep our CO2 tanks warm. After losing a few blow out disks we quit.

I'd say, stick with the bottle warmer and just try to keep the bottle well insulated.

Use the warmer and a blanket. It does not have to be an expensive nitrous bottle blanket, just something to keep the heat in. You will see a world of difference in both time to heat and max psi.

Sigh... do that.... and I'm gonna slap you across the face [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've tried many different methods...
Bottle in warm water
Heating pads
Etc

Never done the torch... NEVER will.

As for ... not going over 950 psi.... do you still have the thermostat on the warmer still attatched?

I do NOT run them on my warmers.

I don't have ANY problems getting BOTH bottles to normal operating temp's

NX makes a better warmer... I run NOS.. two of them
