Default how to build a nitrous refill station?

I'm looking for any info on how to build one of these or a cheaper alternative to having to find a shop that can do it for me since not many in my real with it.

Is there a difference in medical and auto nitrous?

This is cause of not being able to find it and the rate I'm going threw it this would be cheaper for me.

Medical is clean and expencive! And not legal for you to posses.

You need a mother bottle and a hose. You freeze the bottle to be filled and open them both. Use a scale to tell when your bottle is full.

Depends on where you are. Texas makes no distinction between the grade's of nitrous as far as legal possession. Here it is treated as a controlled substance and you can not posses it under the age of 18. That's it. No automotive laws at all concerning it's use.

.

Nobody is cheaper then me and for the cost of a station, I will take the time to freeze the bottle.
I also have a heater on my mother bottle, so in a pinch, I can still do a bottle fairly quick.
As a matter of fact, after I got the heater, I over filled my 1st 3 bottles it flowed so damn fast.

Just a thought, one or the other will work fine.

Yes a pump is nice and eliminates freezing the bottle.

Every pump I have seen was air driven so you may need to add a compressor if they don't make an electric pump.

Yeah it depends on location. In NY there is no distinction - the place who fills my bottle used medical for the longest time just because he was getting it cheaper. Now he's running the auto grade with the ppm addition of sulfur (which is what is used to discourage the huffing).
