This is a good question.. At $40 a refill... how long does a 10lb last on a 100 shot?

10lbs is good for about solid 7 full passes...u might be able to get a 8th & 9th but pressure will start dropping. a 15lb will hold pressure for alot longer and you'd probably get a good 10 solid passes before pressure drops.

Thanks for breaking it down..

So atleast 7 passes at the track..

One more question.. Once a bottle is filled? Does it go bad? How long can you keep it in there before you'll need to dump it and get some more?

The purge is there to clear the moisture and air that gets trapped in the line out. Once you purge.. pure nitrous is ready to be shot out.

So it just clears the line and readies the nitrous.

No the nitrous doesnt go bad, the tank that your bottle was filled could be a year old and you would never know, I have ran a bottle that had been sitting for almost 2 years and did have any problems with it
