Default Stupid question: How do you know when to refill your Nitrous?

I know when it's empty, it's time to refill. But when you don't have more than 1 or 2 shots left, how much pressure do you expect to see when the bottle heater is off? Or is there something else you guys go by????

the weight of the bottle. the pressure is going to depened on the tempeture of the bottle depending on where it is and how hot of a place it is stored in. but the best would be to wiegh the bottle that way you will know exactly how much is left in there.

ow i just looked it up and thats pretty cool, but for 240 bucks its not that cool, just research on how many shots generally you can take with x amount of nitrous, or buy a scale, thats what ive got

I've always wanted to rig up a permanent scale to mount the bottle on...

are you talking about putting it in your car?? if so i don't know if it would stay calabrated since the bottle is going to bouncing up and down on the scale while you are driving. most scales are really sensitve and have a bottle on them while you are driving or hauling that car i think would ruin the scale. but i might be wrong and it sounds like a really good idea.
