Default Do all 10lb bottles weight the same?

Previous nitrous bottle I had was a Dynotune 10lb'r and I swear it weighted more than the blue Nos bottle I have now, empty or full it seems like the nos its a good 5lbs lighter. Either that or i'm not getting a full 10lb worth of nitrous in the bottle, but I think its just the bottle its lighter, anyone?

Most all the bottles should weigh the same.... I do know the old NOS 10lb bottles were skinner but taller than their current 10lb bottles but i would still say the weights should have been the same.

We have 32 NOS bottles sitting here, and every one has its empty weight written on it, cause i don't think 2 of the weigh the same.

Now were only talking a few ounces, i don't know about 5 lbs

They will vary in weight. We always check the tare weight or TW written on the bottle or label before filling. As stated earlier, it is written on every bottle. They are usually within .25lb. If you are having them filled somewhere else and don't have a small scale to weigh (confirm) them on, hold on to it and weigh yourself on a bathroom type scale, then weigh only yourself and you will get an accurate reading. Most bathroom type scales aren't very accurate at 25lbs.

Ive got 2 BrandX bottles and 1 Zex bottle all with DF5 valves.

None of them are the same weight yet theyre all very close.

How do you like those DF5 valves?

I have one of them on my NX 15lb'er and want to get another to match for my N2O outlet 15lber.

I really need a couple more 15lb'ers if anyone reading this wants to send me some

What are you doing on here buddy?

The Camaro is OK, I hear the chassis guy did a decent job.
