How soon after I turn on the bottle....
Say I was driving around and all of a sudden I see someone in a modded Evo or something come flying up on me. He stops looks over, nods at me, I wink and lick my lips sensually, he stares at me confused ..... *cough* anywho, could I just hit the "remote bottle opener" and be ready for a run or does the nitrous need time to warm up in the lines before it can be used? Or could I open the bottle, activate the N2O and go (assuming the bottle is warm enough)? I remember reading somewhere else that it can take a while for the bottle to get warmed up for use, but nothing about how soon you can use the juice after opening the bottle.
Thanks folks.

Its up to you really.I mean if the bottle was sitting in the sun and was already warm you could use it right away. Even if it was a little on the cool side you could use it but it wont hit as hard because of the low bottle pressure.

When my bottle is in, the heater is on. For just such an incident...
There is no pressure on the noid till you open it with the remote bottle opener, which will take less than 5 seconds to open...and is right next to the arm switch...

If you have all your stuff running through keyed ign to activate relays, then just leave everything on. Then you just use your key as a master sw. I have done this on my coupe. Allways ready was my motto. No more, is this on, this open, is it hot. Nope, no second guessing or getting a lunch handed out cause your not ready. Just do the proper wiring and this route will be fine.
Beer, I will have to get pics of my Z06 panel you made. I was showing Jon (00vette) at night and it's a work of art, thanks.

I'm thinking if i keep my pressure below 1000 or 1050 my solenoids will still like me. I didn't say the solenoids will like the psi. Just keep 'purging the pressure.

Yeah ive come home after a night of "COMPARITVE DRIVING" as I like to put it and have left my bottle on by mistake. Kinda sucks, what a waste of 50 bucks. I learned my lesson. Definetly bubble spray all of your fittings.

Just something worth considering -
...some NX heaters (and possibly other brands) are pressure regulated and if the bottle valve/opener is closed and the heater is on it will continue to heat the bottle until it pops the burst disc (or until the bottle explodes if you don't have a burst disk/blowdown setup).
Generally speaking, make sure your bottle is open if you have your heater on, especially with newer NX bottle heaters.

Depends where you put your Pressure switch.
Mine is set up where it reads the actual Bottle pressure with the valve closed.

Robert,
I disagree with you. Yes different valves are made to work different ways. Technicaly leaving the bottle open should be fine in the perfect world scenario.
I do not see a problem with leaving it open while driving around in the car. However I would never suggest to anyone to leave there bottle open over night.
Yes a solenoid could leak through or malfuction. Then when you get in the car and start it there could be a problem. What I am pointing out is a potential problem not saying that if you do this it will happen.
I would never suggest doing something that would leave a window open for problems. Saving 3.00 worth of nitous (if that) Is not worth it.

I tell most people who don't want to go for a remote opener that it's ok to leave it open during the day, but definately close it at night. You'll experience some possible slow leaks with all of that pressure on all of your fittings for extended time, and you'll also possibly see a phase change as well. If you think you might forget to close your valve at night, spring for a remote opener
you can see some we offer here
