No I know that the TNT one is different than some others. It all has to do with what blow off valve you have and the TNT one is different from some others! Call TNT!

Also its real important to torque the new one down to the correct torque. I've seen too many people crank the new one in, and it will always blow the first time you try to fill it.

BTW, it is totally violent when they blow huh? It scared the **** out of me too.

LOL i know the feeling as well... years ago in 95 in my LT1 Camaro my OLD NOS bottle warmer thermostat didn't shut off and the newly filled bottle to 13 lbs blew... yeah HOLY S*%T is right... i did have a blow down tube ( braded -10) but being a dumb *** back then i didn't realize it needed to be teflon lined so the N2O froze the line, split and slapped the crap out of my fender well... hard lesson learned... glad nothing or no one was hurt in your misshap!!

Man I dont know if I could handle a bottle going off while driving but I do have my bottle under the EC seat. My buddy was heating a bottle he had just filled and was using a kitchen sink to do so! Lets just say he did have a the blow of valve but him,his wife,and his kitchen took a n20 shower! It was crazy!
