Default You guys with bottle warmers come in!!

Ok so its really frickin cold here and I just finished hooking up my DynoTune fully automatic warmer. It works . . . but takes a really long time to warm up to 900 like 45 min. How long do some of yours take, do I need to adjust it more? Thanks in advance . . .

Mine works pretty good, takes a little while to get up to pressure, but that's just how bottle heaters are (from my experience). A NX bottle blanket might be good for you.

So, is there a way to maybe hook up another bottle warmer to the pressure switch? Since my bottles all hidden away it would be kind of a pain to take it in and out all the time. I have a 15lb bottle and it looks like another heater might be able to fit . . . That silly thing drained my yellow top in just a little over an hour!!!!

I have the NOS heating element connected to the DynoTune pressure switch. My heating element gets too hot to touch. You can try putting a second heating element on there, don't see why you couldn't hook it up to the pressure switch. The NX bottle blankets will help keep your bottle from getting so cold and will help retain heat (heat soak, like that article says).

I suggest a move south, the bottles heat up a lot faster when they start at 75°

Not advised but I usually keep my bottle closed for a few minutes with the heater on and then open it up. Pressure builds pretty quickly even when it's 30 degrees out.

With the pressure switch that he's using, it doesn't matter if it's open or closed. It shuts off at a user definable pressure setting.

Im using a dynotune heater and you cant touch it for long at all. Burt the **** out of me. Anyway it takes about 20 mins max at 50 degrees. Maybe I just got a good one.
