Best Bottle Wamer?

What company produces the best bottle warmer. I keep hearing that some dont get the bottle more than 600psi? is there some wiring trick to keep the bottle at a comfy 1100psi?

some people on this board are going to argue this point with me but i think that NX makes the best bottle warmer SOLELY because their warmer operates off of the bottle pressure, not blanket temp. That means that when the bottle pressure drops below 900 psi the warmer kicks in until the pressure builds up to 1100 psi, which is the optimal pressure for nitrous to work. NOS and other similar bottle warmers only heat up to a certain predesignated temp and will shut off regardless of the bottle pressure. there is a way to wire it differently so that you have to shut it off when the bottle builds pressure but that seems like unnecessary work to me.

i run a zex n20 kit (and love it, to all the zex haters)but i'm getting rid of my heater and buying a nx bottle heater. he's correct. the only one that works off of bottle pressure. that's the reason why i think that it's the best heater.

I have a NX warmer and its much better than the Zex warmer. I hated the Zex warmer when I had. Now I am a satisified NX fan.

Nitrouswarehouse.com 1888-nitware.
Nitrous fans will remember John Stewart. well this is his company. they are a warehouse for NX. i dont buy from anyone else. not sure what they charge but they are very good there.

i have my NOS heater for sale, only used 2 months (barely used at all) and in perfect shape. i have a couple potential buyers but thought i'd throw it out there in case they fall through. i have pics which i can email to anyone interested. just let me know at sweet978@juno.com.

also have an NX psi gauge and MSD single stage retard unit for sale. gauge barely used in perfect shape and the MSD was only installed inside the car and never used.

i got a NOS bottle heater. i always hear about people saying it wont go 850 psi. .. but just put the thermostat on the velcro and you will get it higher. ive gotten to 600psi to 1200psi in about 8 mins. just make sure you watch it so you know when to turn it off. hehe
