Here is a picture of a NX guage next to a cold fusion gauge.Unfortintly the pics do not show how heavy duty the NX gauge is compared to the cold fusion gauge. The NX gauge is a much better quality gauge and just by holding the two in your hand you can feel the difference

Those gauges are different than the one that came on the cold fusion kit I ordered for comparisons.They must use two different styles are switched between the two.

Matt can you feel me in here.
Thanks

Yea, I forgot about the valves that have guage ports in the side of them. It shouldn't damage the gauge in that position because it isn't seeing the shock of the pump the way it does on the older style valves (where the gauge is mounted in-line on the outlet of the valve).

Glad to hear you got taken care of on the gauge.

Thanks man! And yeah, my 10 lb is setup the way you explained I think, it has a manifold off the bottle nut that has the gauge in it so it only reads when the bottle is open or the line has pressure in it. Which actually probably would've saved the gauge in this case, cuz I had the bottle closed and no nitrous in the line.
