Default Nitrous Fill Station

I'm in the market for a nitrous fill station and I figured this would be the best place to get some input on what to buy. I'm looking for pros and cons of the different makes and models and what options I should get. Along with any experiences people have had with the different manufacturers. Price isn't that big of an issue, just want something that works well, is or can be well equipt, and will be hassle free. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am using a NX Pump Station, the only thing I do not like is having to hold the fill button down during the fills, however, I guess its a good safety. I got the station from Nitrous Outlet, works great.

The NOS station I don't think you have to hold a button down (at least I do not remember seeing them do so when I was paying for the fills).

well i do this for money. and there is no way i would do the freeze method. i get 60 pounds out of the big bottle using the pump. and i have to pump the last 15 pounds. now i do chill the bottle i am filling and most of the time that works great. but those last 15 suck to get out.

^ If your doing it for a business then that's different. If your just filling your own bottles I would just freeze fill it.

I use the cold fusion kit. It's cheap and works great. Of course I prefer freezing, but have to pump out the last few lbs. of the cylinder.

I've been looking into this, and have decided to wait until I have a good compressor and get a pump.

I will be filling my own, probably a ferw friends as well and I know I will be selling it, so it seems to make more sense to do it right the first time.

We have the NOS pump setup. It doesn't have a button, there's a valve on the compressed air inlet that turns the pump on. It's a pretty simple setup to use.
