I used to pack about 12 lbs into my 10 lb bottle by freezing it. Thats about the only "trick" there is. Be careful about stuffing it too much, because if the bottle temp goes up too high it will surely blow the safety valve off the bottle when extra-packed.

My supplier is on my side of town every Monday, and only charges me 5 bucks for door service. Just trade him Cylinders and thats it. 
Im having some problems with all the AN fittings sealing up, should I go over them with some teflon tape or what. Also, I need to know where I can pick up some shorter AN line, and the AN wrenches localy in Houston.

I say you retarded for wasting your money on one!!!!!
The freeze and fill seems safer to me....... even though some disagree... I don't see it possible to OVER fill a bottle this way.

Stang Killer, do not use teflon tape. Its a no-no with nitrous. Freeze it fill it, dont let sit in the sun if overfull (looks cool blowing off inside a nighthawk...right Raegen?).

That's true for medical grade, but for industrial grade, no. The industrial has sulfur mixed in... it'll make you puke before it gets you "happy". Keeps it from being abused by the huffers.

Someone told me once that the sulpher in automotive use nitrous is also there for its burning quality..that medical grade wouldn't make the power that automotive grade will.
i sprayed my car with a TNT kit for one season a few years ago but never really got into the technical aspects of nitrous oxide itself.

what's the danger of doing it yourself. i read where a guy died trying to overfill a 10lb bottle by freezing it. i'm checking to see where it is...Mustang site.
