Nano Question

I am refering to bleeding the air off a partially used Nitrous Bottle that NANO has been used on to refill the Nitrous Bottle.
On the Nitrous Fill, the nitrous pump does not overcome the stored pressure of 1000 psi that is left after using NANO in the Nitrous Bottle, so you have to bleed off the air pressure that the NANO leaves in the Nitrous Bottle (if you want to refill a partially used Nitrous bottle). You can of course just leave it alone and use the NANO to empty out the rest of the nitrous bottle...
I do not fill the NANO, the paintball shop does. They can only do 3000psi though, and I have the 5000 psi bottle
I have not yet sprayed with only 3000 psi in the bottle yet.
The real question is if we are using Air in the NANO, shouldn't it really be called AANO???

regular air has water in it too.
i personally don't want water in any of my compressed fittings, especially with something that can easily be used as an oxidizer? i know that outside of stuff, any iron-based material (i.e. steel) with water and oxidizer = super fast rusting. just made sense to me that straight nitrogen would be better.
To each his own. I would just personally feel better about straight nitrogen from mesa... and I may or may not get a "special" discount on it. lol.
and really, is it that far? maybe it's because i'm used to driving a bit further for things (lived in KC for most of my driving time), but mesa is what? maybe 30 mins from phx? i really don't know. after the hour and some odd minutes of me getting to phx, mesa isn't that much further to me... distances get screwed up after spending time on 17. lol

HPA should have been run through a dryer to remove the moisture from the air, i agree 3000+ psi in a steel tank over time throw in moisture and it can be bad, hence the reason that if you ever bring back a SCUBA tank to a dive shop empty they will usually take it to get hydro tested, and yea depending on time of day Mesa can be more than an hour away from where we are, how long you been up in the PRC, i lived up there for a few years

All of the compressors used have 3 filteration systems to keep moisture out. One of the filters even purifies it. Its the same air that scuba divers need to breath. If you are worried about moisture nitrogen would be the way to go.

But I'm glad to hear that you can use regular HPA without a problem. I don't even have to drive to mesa to get my special discount on that.. provided my team is still around here... u never know with those guys.
