Default Nitrous Refill?

I have an account at a local gas distributor and was wondering what grade (Industrail, Medical,Ect.) of nitrous is used to refill my NX bottle? I have access to a refill station so that is not a problem.

I read somewhere that you want nitrous with a low amount of sulfur in it. If the sulfur content is to high it could damage the solenoids. Thats why I'm wondering what grade of nitrous to buy. The gas distributor will not sell me medical grade without a medical license; therefore, I must buy an industrail grade. Which industrail grade should I buy?

I agree as well. There is absoluty no difference to the car.
However-I do enjoy listening to the guys who insist that medical is good for a tenth over industrial, it is usually the same guy who still thinks that nitrous is flameable.
