How good is the Zex bottle warmer? Anyone have it. I saw it at my local speed shop for about $110.

yes , that warmer and NOS warmer are the best in my option because the NX one runs off pressure .... and shuts off after it reaches 1050 psi ...

but the zex and nos are always on

I have the Zex warmer, and it never gets my bottle pressure high enough. It sits right around 850psi. Could be the 15lb. bottle though, but even leaving it on for nearly an hour it still tops out around 850 psi

I have the same result. It usually gets my 10 pound bottle to about 950, but my 15 pound bottle never made it near 900. Maybe a good bottle blanket would allow my 10 pound bottle to get above 1000, but I'm not sure. When I'm going to run it, I put an ice pack on the temp sensor to fool it into heating longer. This lets me get to about 1050 psi, but nothing more. That ice pack trick didn't help the 15 pound bottle much. This is with a full bottle.

I do like the fact that it stays on all the time and regulates temps, but it needs to make more pressure. The price isn't bad though. I paid $90 on ebay.
