Default Best/Cheapest Bottle Heater Kit

I've seen alot of companies offering deals on heater kits on this forum in the last few months. Who has had good luck with any of them? What company do you think has the best deal on them? Which one works the best? Thanks

I just got my dynotune black heater in and installed it, and it kicks ***!
It comes with everything you need to put it in. I actually installed it in my parking garage with scissors and pliers lol. Anyway I was very impressed with the quality of everything, and it heats up the bottle very quickly. Best of all, the price is great!

Cool

Our 300 Watt Heaters generally heat faster than any wattage lower than them, it's a quality kit, and the fully auto kit takes any thought out of it!
Nitrous Bottle Heaters
If you must get a black heater i'd go with dynotune's it's pretty trick

There's lots of great heaters on the market, a few options are the NX standard heater (not as fast as a 300watt heater, but it uses less power and still gets the job done), the NX Fire & Ice (will both heat AND cool the bottle to keep it at correct operating pressure), the heater from Vinny at 860 Performance is bad *** too with the way it incorporates the actual mounting of the bottle (you can get this one from Vinny or from Nitro Dave). Also, the new Revolution heater from Matt @ HSW looks to be a great one. It uses less power than a 300watt heater and will heat a bottle quicker than the 300watt heaters, not to mention it looks good asthetically.

I don't normally use Best and Cheapest in the same sentence when talking about things but I guess best means different things to different folks. With all my purchases (nitrous or not) I base them on things like customer service before/after the sale, tech. help, and overall willingness to help the customer as best they can.

Good luck in finding what you're looking for. I'm more than happy to help with any questions you may have concerning NX product or otherwise.

Dean/Dan likely be by Wednes-Fri, be late in the afternoon, I will PM ya or call to make sure Dean is there.

Still more work to do in the storage well. It will look even better with the blanket with a big *** C-5 Logo on it as well as the Billet Bracket (when the blanket is off).

Mocked up the wires/relay on the heater yesterday pretty straight forward.

LOL Scott...
Not yet... The logo on the blacket below is a paper cutout,
so the embroidery people get it right.








Anyways to stay on topic...More on the DynoTune Bottle Heater

I moved the Heater switch (was supposed to put it at the -4 bottle out to the main feed line) to the gauge port. I am hoping that this will make the heater fully functional without having to have the bottle open. Going to add a DynoTune electronic guage to the end of the adapter, Need more fittings, in fact I robbed the 1/8" NPT to -4 from the kit to move the Heater switch ...
While on my ship, I made decals for the relays, to make it easy to keep track of whats what.




Once I get the bottle filled I will light the heater off .

Cheers
Beer

you wont be sorry.........

dont be alarmed if your heater shuts off at 700-800 psi though:

you more than likely will have to adjust the thermostat (very small flat head screwdriver is all you need) once you get it adjusted (mine is at 1050) your set! good luck and keep us posted.

Default Dyno Tune! My only non NX piece



This works super well. Mine will bring bottle from 600 to 1050 psi in 15-20 min when the outside temp is 38 deg f.

Just wired up for a 2nd heater tonight (dual 15lb'ers). I think I am at 7 or 8 relays now. Beer, I do like you, I have all my relays tagged.

Macon, I see you have been playing with your avatar, looks good.

Shep, now on the heater deal, most vendors have a special of some sort for heaters, you'll have to ask Scott if we still have the full auto heater and free trick bottle blanket package.
