^^^This! I have been street racing a long time and all the time this is what I see. When I ask why not get a bottle heater, the answer I get is " Man, you know how much that costs?" Then I say "Yeah, enough to save your life"

Then you get the argument of "I just keep moving the torch around". Me, I'm lazy. I'd rather flip a switch than sit there with a freaking torch.

Damnit!!!! Did you see me at the track again? Guilty as charged. I definately need a bottle heater, not that it's too expensive, just always find something else I "need" at the time.

I would never leave a bottle in the car at work or anywhere that you are gonna sit prolonged periods and allow the interior to heat up.
DO BUY A HEATER DO NOT USE A TORCH
do get tuned for the bottle by someone that if very knowledgable

that is all

Made the order today. I did not do the research so it was not in my "things I need now" catagory. My car sits in the garage 90% of the time. I only pull it out for the track or the occational road trip.....but that is still no exsuce

Don't leave the bottle in the car. Plain and simple. I would come home from the track at 2 am and get up by 8 am to get the bottles out of my truck and car to keep them out of the Georgia heat. Nitrous has its dangers just like anything else. Don't be afraid of it, just ensure you show it some respect.

I have mine in a small toolbox in the bed of my truck. Notice the other day around the 90ish temp with lots of humidity that the pressure got up to 1300ish and also notice that the liquid had come out of my dynotune pressure gauge
