Default anyone useing a electronic/digital nitrious level gauge?

Anyone has one of these and are their any more options other than zex?are they accurate? It seems like they are the only people I can find who makes this gauge is zex.
http://www.lsxtv.com/news/new-products/the-zex-nitrous-level-gauge-lets-users-keep-tabs-on-their-bottle/

Im gona be getting my 100 shot wet kit soon and want to put some gauges in a 3 pod gauge holder mainly for show purposes but at the same time I want them to be useful...
On my c5 Z06 DIC (driver information center) it already displays most of the important stuff like oil, coolant, temps , engine temp, oil pressure etc.....
I wanted to add a wideband gauge but the shop im bringing it to told me not to bother with a wideband since im only doing a 100shot..
So I figured ill just get a bottle pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge and a bottle level gauge but I wanted to know if there is another bottle level gauge other than zex..

A wideband is a very important tool, I used one on my car for 100 shot, may want to look into that. That gauge looks like a pretty cool idea, we sell an electronic one as well, but it doesn't show nitrous bottle level, just pressure, which is pretty much the same thing. Either way, good luck, let me know if you have any questions about anything.

So would there be a need for that gauge OP is talking about and a gauge that shows nitrous pressure? Wouldn't you be able to tell if the bottle is getting empty by the nitrous pressure gauge?

Yes you can tell off a pressure gauge if the bottle is low. Zex just got fancy.

I'd be leery of any shop that tells you a wideband gauge is not important. That was the FIRST gauge I bought and installed on my car, and I'm only a heads/cam/full bolt-on car. Knowing your car's air/fuel ratio is critical.

We use an Autometer electric gauge. Have the sensor mounted inline before 1/4 turn valve. That way we can open bottle valves and check bottle pressure without pressure on solenoids. All we have to do is turn on master power switch for kit and powers gauge and check pressure. It is right on the money with a good bottle valve mounted gauge .
