What's the pressure in a #10 bottle on an 80 degree day?

Ok, lets just say your full bottle is in your car while you're driving around town (no bottle heater) on an 80-85 degree day (windows down, no a/c on).....any estimate as to what your bottle pressure would be?

900 PSI - not enough, add a heater for optimum results.. :cheers:

How long does it take a bottle heater to bring your bottle up to temp? Does it just plug into your cig lighter or what?

I'm guessing they plug into the lighter.....but I have a "nitrous in a bag" kit that also plugs into the cig. lighter to run, so I don't know how that would work out for me.

I have a 5lb bottle and the heater is for a 20lb bottle. It heats up fast, like in 2-3 minutes from 900 to 1200. The heater has a direct wire and a switch to turn on and off. I left it on once...blew out the valve, no damage. :cheers:

Dude! Get a guage at least. For the street a heater is optional. I made a harness to plug it into the cig lighter. Just don't forget it's plugged in. On a hot day keep a full bottle out of sun. You gotta have a guage.
