Keeping records is a good way to know what your system is doing.
If you had a recorder you would see that it is harder to maintain pressure for the full run after every hit.
Weigh the bottle before & after each pass, and record starting & finishing pressure.
I run T/S and must hit my dial, so I always record each pass' info and it helps know what my combo will do.
If you are just out having fun, then you can risk it, but as always, don't push your luck.
Good luck.

Tell me guys, when you finish each run do you always close the bottle right away, or is it ok to have it open between runs like for 15-45 min and offcourse have the bottle heater on it to keep it 900-1050psi
Or what's the best trix to keep the pressure up between runs.
I know the bottle heater is not suspose to be on whith closed bottle but do you sometimes do it for little while or is it just banned.

1st, who is saying you don't heat a closed bottle??
I must have missed that, and been doing it wrong for 20 years.
I only heat the bottles closed.
I have a safety valve that I close after the chutes hit and settle down.
After I stop, I get out, shut off the computer and then the bottle.
I want that thing off as much as possible just in case.
The best way to keep at temp is a bath, but there is nothing wrong with an electric heater, either 12v or 110v.
I use carbon fiber bottles, so I have a much harder job keeping warm.
I prefer a 110v heater so it doesn't drain the car battery.
A blanket helps, either a fancy store bought, or something you make yourself.

It may be in a sticky, for noobie safety. A lot of people mount the pressure switch which controls the bottle heater (unless the heater is designed based on bottle temp and not bottle pressure) on the feedline downstream of the valve, since typical cylinder valves lack any fittings. Most of the nitrous suppliers on here offer bottle valves that have fittings for a gauge or the pressure switch, which is a nice feature. So if your switch is located where it always has visibility to the bottle pressure, there's nothing wrong with heating with the valve closed. If the switch is mounted on the feedline, then obviously it would have no visibility to the cylinder pressure if the valve is closed and the heater would run non-stop until the burst disc on the cylinder let go.
