Default Bottle Pressure

Got My 1st Bottle Filled And My Bottle Only Read 850 Psi

I Was Under The Assumption That The Bottle Was Suppose To Read 1000 Psi When Filled?

Whats The Deal?

Heat it up... it's going to depend on the temp of the nitrous. 1000-1100 is what you want it at when you spray. PSI doesn't equal amount of nitrous in the bottle.

If you wanted to make sure you got a full fill you could weigh the bottle.

850-900 cold is ok
1000-1050 heated is good.
