Default no purge cloud when purging

why does this happen. i purged this afternoon and you could see the cloud now its late in the evening and it sounds but no cloud could it be due to pressuse being low. i dont think its running out bottle was just filled.

That's what hapened to me! I couldn't see the Nitrous coming out so I cracked open the line next to the bottle it's empty. I weighed it and sure enough it's empty.

I had purged half the bottle in the atmosphere!

Expensive stuff to show off with!

I can almost never see a cloud even if the bottle is full. If I look right at the tip of the purge line I can see the liquid nitrous coming out, but it just disappears. Same thing when I had a nitrous kit on my old mustang. I always see these vids with the big white cloud, but mine never does it. Car gets the power though

mine does a big white cloud pretty much all the time when the bottle is full and the pressure is up.(guys come compliment me in the pits when i purge at the tree after a pass lol) if i dont touch the heater the cloud is small to none an all you see is a little from the line tip. when the bottle is empty obviously you wont see anything.

I rarely see a cloud with my purge. Like was said outside temp and humidity play a roll. Sometimes in the morning I'll get a cloud, but after it warms up, you would think the bottle was empty.

I have just had to swap my purge solonoid which is a Nos powershot for the Nytrex solonoid because my system was not spraying nitrous and I get hardly any white cloud compared to the Nos one.

If you look at my purge video now I've swapped solonoids it only sprays out about half as far as it did before and the solonoid is weaker. When I test fired the system after the swap nitrous rocketed out compared to the Nytrex one.
