You might have air, no n20...maybe just a bad weather day for n20 clouds...humidity is a factor etc.

Some seem more "foggy" than others dont they. Maybe has to do with the tubing being larger in diameter.

i dont see how it would jsut be air though. Are you saying the place that sold me the nitrous sold me just oxygen instead of n2o? after they filled it up the bottle was freezing cold ...

i'm pretty sure the cloud that you are seeing with a purge is the liquid nitrous turning into gas as soon as it hits atmospheric pressure. make sure your bottle is positioned right with the siphon tube facing down so it picks up liquid n2o

your tube is fine. (look in the middle of my pic....same little copper tubing)



Yes, I realize I look a little scary in this pic. Apparently I didn't lean over enough for the pic and this is really the only one I have.

To start with is your bottle full.? When was the last time you put the giggle juice in the tank?take your bottle out of the car and weigh it. make sure you have some mojo in there.

The white cloud you see when purging is nothing more then the water vapor in the air freezing. It is not liquid nitrous. The more humid the day to more dense the cloud will appear. Also the higher or longer the cloud will be.
now if you are hear a loud air sound then the purge noid is working, make sure there is no kinks in your purge line.

keep us posted on your results.

i am hoping it is because the bottle isnt at 45 degrees. I will test it out today and let you know. THere should be some cloud effect though on all purges even if some are smaller than others is that correct
