Bottle Heater Is there a bottle heater that is better than the other? Fixing to buy one and there are so man options like dynotune, nx, zex, HSW. Which should I look at getting?
Compare wattage, and overall coverage. You'll also want to decide what style of activation you'd like too...I prefer the pressure switched variety over the thermostatically controlled. We also send out weather pack connectors with ours for ease of removal if necessary.

I have a high output dynotune one. It's worked pretty good for me so far, it will heat a cold bottle up in about 15 to 20 min.
I am, buying a water bath to put in the new trailer so I can drop them in and heat soak a full bottle to a set temp, this should allow me to use the electric heater alot less, mainly just to maintain the heat, if need be. I do also have a bottle blanket that I bought from dynotune that I use to help maintain temp when it's cold out, and it does work pretty good. Fits a little tighter then I think it should but iit does work decent as well.
Just don't use torch please. I have done it in a pinch.. but I really don't like that method, and track officials don't like it either.

yea no torch here. But I seen them use a torch on PINKS one time and I was like thats a no,no. Yea I have seen the dynotune one and the price seems very good. Is it an automatic one? I have seen some say automatic and some don't say it. Is it just a selling point or are there some that really aren't automatic?

Just an on/off switch is such a bad idea. I would never recommend it to anyone. The HSW is a nice heater, I run it myself on a pressure switch. I chose it because it is pretty, along with their very nice bottle bracket setup found here:

After getting some of their stuff we liked it all enough to become a dealer for them

Verdad Gallardo I'll say that I will not leave the heater on unless I'm in the car with it on, and every bottle I use it on has a pressure ga, so I can monitor it.
I would NEVER just turn the heater on and walk away. Well o.k. if it's cold out and the bottle's at 600 psi and I'm trying to get it up to 1100 so I can purge it down to 1050... I'll walk away for 5 min.. but that's it.

I don't see where a pressure switch would hurt your setup or cause you not to like it, it won't ever affect your setup at all unless you happen to forget to turn it off, in which case it will save your ***. All the way up to max pressure it's still just an on-off switch. It's almost like saying you don't like lean a/f cut off switches for the nitrous because you have a FP gauge that you watch.

I've solved the issue another way, I bought an enclosed trailer, and am putting a hot water bath heater in the trailer that's regulated.
This way, the bottles are heat soaked to a set temp.... the electric heater will only be used to maintain/reheat in the lanes, while I'm in the car.

My buddy has this one from Dynotune and it includes an adjustable pressure switch (so it's automatic). It works great and I will be using this one too this spring.
