There are syphone tubes in the bottles,so best way it with the valve slightly elevated, I have seen other do it tho.
Each bottle is diff, depends on how hot/cold it is outside, how much nitrous is in the bottle, and how hot/cold the nitrous is inside the bottle. Thats where a guage comes in handy.
And to the third I guess Im not sure what your saying? When the ign is activated it would turn on the warmer, You need a way to regulate it, whether its thermostatically controlled or just on a toggle. Too much heat will blow the disks..
Hope this helps..

2nd question how long does it take to heat up bottle with the warmer blanket? As answered above there really is no set time frame because there are so many variables but i would say newhere from 5-25min depending on outside temp.
3rd question is it safe to just activate bottle warmer with ignition? I wouldn't do it this way in case the car is left on..it's better to put it on a switch you can trun on and off.
pros/cons of each question would be great...
All answer's in red.

I agree with chris. I recently installed a heater on a C6 that had a pressure switch on it so if the owner of the car forgot to turn off the heater switch it would turn off by its self on high pressure.

as for your question about having to remove the bottle for refills yes you would.

I freeze my customers bottles for about 2 hours so they fill easily.
