How old is to old?

I have 2 full bottles from 2005. Is this N2O still good or should I just waste drain them out? I know it is a strange question but I have not sprayed in a long time.

It is a liquified gas, and does not go bad. If you purge well on a newly hooked up bottle you should be good to go.

Thats something i always wanted to know also. What is the shelf life of nitrous in a bottle. Couldn't really find anything definite on the internet.

Nitrous shouldn't go bad, provided all the fittings are well sealed you should be fine. The only problem I could see is if there was the tiniest of leaks, and then the problem wouldn't be that there was bad nitrous, but rather no nitrous lol.
