Shorted out my heater.

Yeah, so I put a rag full of ice on my botte, straped in by the bottle heater straps to cool it down for the 1/8 races you see.

Cooled it down a good bit but when I turned the heater on after I thought it was dry HOURS after, it wouldn't heat up.

Water and electronics don't like each other I guess.
Beat a new mach 1 though so that kinda makes up for it.

Yea, the 1st time i had the warmer and filled my bottle it was really cold from being in the freezer so the bottle was all wet, i realized that if i put the heater on it, it might short out. So i always dry it up n wait till its not sweating anymore.

I didn't freeze it.
It get's pretty hot and when the heat goes up, so does
the pressure in the bottle.

I'm jeted for about 900-950psi, not 1,200psi :P
The ice really helped lower the temps to where I wanted them.

Need to get another $30 heating pad though. lol

I it supposed to be put in the freezer before it being filled, otherwise if the bottle is warm and you try to fill it, it will not fill 100%. So if u take it to a shop and they dont freez it but you still payed for a rill for a full bottle ur getting robbed.

You don't think they wiegh out the bottle?
Completly false statment. Simple salution to that problem is
stop going to shady shops trying to rip you off.

The bottle get's pretty cold once the nitrous starts comeing in.
I even get my bottle over-filled sometimes 3 minutes after I take it in
hotter then my muffler w/ 800psi of pure vapor.

If you are right, then why do they freeze the bottle?

I have no idea.
Probably makes it easy for them w/ the equipment they have.

Like a 30lb tank and just a hose? I don't know.
