There are two kinds of bottle warmers (that I am aware of). The most common is the thermostatically controlled warmer. This warmer heats to bottle to a certain temperature and then kicks off to prevent the bottle pressure from getting to high and exploding. TNT, NOS and Compucar all have heaters of this nature.

The other kind is a pressure controlled version, i.e. the NX Bottle Warmer. This operates by turning the bottle on if the pressure in the line (thus your valve on your bottle must be open) drops below 900 PSI and heats up until the pressure reaches 1050 PSI (pretty sure) and turns the warmer off.

They all will fit a 15 lb. bottle but I believe they will take longer to heat up due to the increase in bottle volume and amount of bottle material present. I feel that both are equally good but I like the idea of the pressure controlled NX Warmer. It has worked great for me. But as you'll find they both have pro's/con's. If I were you, get the one you can get the best deal on.
