Bottle heated bracket vs old strap style? Hello, I was thinking what is the better bottle heaters on the market now?
The new bottle bracket heaters
Or the old style strap style heaters?
Also, thermostat or PSI kit?

Have you thought about a NANO kit? I haven't used a bottle heater in a long time but would have to guess you could buy a NANO kit for about the same price. Plus, they're a ton easier to install. It costs us $5 to fill out NANO bottle at the local scuba place and we get consistent nitrous pressure down to the last drop! Our car made an additional 130 RWHP on 100 jets and I know it had to do with the NANO system.

I prefer a strap style one just because it wraps around 80-85% of the bottle instead of just ~50% of it. I am sure either one would work though. We use a pressure transducer to control the heating element.

I have the bracket heater and it works great. The strap probably brings it up to temp quicker, but once the bottle is warm it's one in the same IMO. Also it's less to deal with when loading and unloading the bottle.
My next setup I may try nano as the larger shots I want to run make a 10lb bottle last 3 passes before they start to taper off.

Stick with the old style heater they work fine. I had a nano 3000 kit and HATED it with a passion. If it ever gets hot around you dont plan on spraying without icing down the bottle.

I like the heated brackets with a pressure switch for ease of use. We offer a number of different heated brackets. Let me know if you have questions about any of these:

Never hurd nor seen anyone use one of these. If you do decide to use something like this your going to want to have the bottle sitting on it in order to get the most out of it. Not draped over it like in his video.
