Default Old Nitrous

I haven't sprayed in about 6 months and my bottle still has nitrous in it. I found posts saying that you don't have to empty bottle before a refill but my question is whether or not nitrous can "go bad" if it's been sitting for too long.

Its fine. Just weigh it to make sure you didn't have any leaks.

As long as the bottle doesn't ahve any leaks then there is no problem with using 6month old nitrous. Back in the day i had a bottle that sat for almost a year and it still had nitrous so i used it with no problems.

Like stated above it will not go bad but check for leaks like the other guys said and you will be fine.
