Default Freezing Bottle w/ Motor attached

My new nitrous filliing source freezes the bottles for several hours before filling. If the Black NX opener assy is left on the bottle will it become damaged from the cold?

Well I would not say that it is not effective. I have done it back in the earlier days when our pump broke. The thing about freezing it and gravity filling a bottle is that if the main bottle runs out of nitrous they push air into your bottle. Most of the time they do not even relize it. With a pump you do not have to freeze the bottle.So you do not have to drop it off and then come back and pick it up. Also if they are using a good quality digital scale they can tell if there main bottle is getting low because your bottle will not be getting any heavier. Its a sure way to fill a bottle with out giving a bad bottle fill.

You could easily get the main bottles your self and gravity fill your bottles at home.It will cut your nrew habbits cost in half.

Keeps the cost down...btw...if you think cooling the bottles is bad...you should see what he does to heat the feed bottle. Actually, I haven't seen in person. I want to live.

Dave - put several cards in box with the switch if it hasn't shipped yet.

This IS South Carolina Dave...I may have some basic understanding of metallurgy from Strengths of Materials classes; however, some people will argue from the grave unfrotunately. Yep - Torchs it...claims he has a steel bottle and won't hurt anything...scarey isn't it?

heh, i hear you on the south carolina thing.

a couple of my friends started doing their own gravity fills... they're using a water bed heater as a bottle heater on the main bottle.... its just like a regular bottle heater.. but HUGE so it can fit the bigger bottle, and it plugs into the wall.
