Has anybody tried having their own supply of nitrous oxide to avoid the cost of getting it from speed shops? The shops around here charge something like $30-50 per 10lb fill. TEN POUNDS. That's god damn ridiculous for a god damn gas. I'm having a ridiculously hard time trying to find bulk nitrous oxide prices largely because, I think, it's something dickheads inhale and abuse. You can get just about anything else easily. Has anybody tried it? I'm thinking about getting a 80 lb scuba tank (3000 psi), or more than one. I'm really really really interested to see if others have tried this yet.
The filling station will cost you 1000+ http://www.nitrousdirect.com/nitrous/index.php?target=categories&category_id=179 http://www.justsayn2o.com/nitrous.obtain.html <-- there's some info about it for druggies, but has some auto info towards the bottom. Ask your dentist where he gets his... lol Oh... http://www.diy-nitrous.fsnet.co.uk/nitrous-n20--refills.htm <-- more info
Oh good lord look at the prices. Ridiculous. You need a tank designed for 3000 psi (scuba) and a hose, valve, and some fittings. That's it. It won't be perfect pressure (past the first fill) but that's because you didn't pay $1000+ for a pump.
I think there is a difference between the "dentist grade" n2o and "auto grade" n2o. The dentist grade stuff is odorless, while the auto grade stuff has a sulfur smell to deter people from using it to get high.. Riley
you can get it from a place called airgas, but you have to have a business license, thats about the only way you can get it
