Bottle heater blanket. And it must be cold to only be reading 650.

I would use an indirect source of heat in the mean time. Not a huuge fan of torching a bottle of NO2.

It's also been shown that repetitive farting on or near the neck of the bottle produces some results.

I do have a heating pad ane electric blanket. Will that work or do I need a higher heat source.

P.S. stop laughing b/c it sounded just as dumb of an idea to me as I was typing it but I thought what the hell

nano f.t.w.
heater blankets... like the kind you use on your bed... should probably warm it up a little bit.

Is it normal for a full bottle to read 650 at room temp??

I think thats about what my pressure was last time I looked at it when it was full and room temp (not heated). I read a post not long ago about someone turning their heater on full blast and leaving the bottle in the floor area to warm up. The electric blanket will probably work pretty good. Just keep an eye on it since you wont have a pressure shut off switch. It should hold pressure long enough for you to make a good test run or two, but will start to drop off without constant heat.

Default Thanks

I tried a pass just to see if my microedge and my interface were activating the system. They worked flawlessly!! I only have the 75 shot pill in but only saw very minimal seat of the pants increase at 650 psi??

i've personally done the heating blanket with a power inverter in my car, haha, it didnt really work it only brought the bottle pressure up about 100psi. My bottle is mounted in between my back seats and i've also pointed all the vents to the middle of the car and turned the heater on hi and left it for a good 5-10 min and it actually worked well, it brought the psi from about 750 to 1000psi

Use a turkey fryer filled with water. Thats the best way I've found and no direct flame on the bottle.

Napalm will keep the bottle hot all the time, no need to worry about keeping an eye on it.
