Default Bottle angle. Why?

I understand there is a siphon tube in the bottle. When you spray, are you releasing a liquid or a gas into the motor or both? If both is there a ratio? And now the big Q; What affect does the angle of the bottle have on the performance and the amount of liquid/gas brought to the noid? As always, thanks for reading.

I think it's mostly so you can use up all the nitrous you can isn't it?

You are spraying the liquid nitrous in your car, and the way the siphon tube is angled and placed, you want it facing the front of the car with the hose facing the bottom of the car when its hooked up, since the tube picks it up from the bottom of it on the front of the bottle in the back, if I worded it right...

Hold a can of paint upside down and spray it for a few seconds. Then turn it right side up and spray it again. That pretty much sums it up

it's a liquid in the line. when you purge your look for the white stuff meaning the line is starting to fill with liquid and when it leaves the nozzle it's turning into gas form cause of the pressure release and temp.

also you want as much liquid n20 in your line before you spray or you just get air in the line, that's why you want to purge on wet kits.

You want liquid N2O only, or you will have surging.
The mounting angle and g-forces applied to the bottle both have an effect on the amount of surface area shared between the liquid N2O and the gas above it. This amount of surface area is important as it determines the rate at which bottle pressure is maintained via the evaporation of the liquid N2O.
More surface area will restore bottle pressure faster during and after N2O release.

In summary, you want the most surface area possible, and you want to keep the end of the siphon tube covered in liquid N2O even during hard acceleration. Use these factors to determine the mounting of the bottle.

why only on wet kits? air in the nitrous line is air in the nitrous line. doesn't matter wet or dry. and it's not air, it's nitrous in a gaseous state. you want it in a liquid state as close to the solenoid as possible. i like NX solenoids because when you purge, you purge through them. not before them. it's a minor thing, but it makes a difference.
