Default How long does nitrous last?

How long will a 10lb bottle of nitrous last when running a 100 shot? Just refilled it and It costs 52.80 w tax. My hobby could get pretty expensive

If you are careful it may last you a little while. But when you start using it, it gets ADDICTING!!!! It basically depends on how often and how long you hold it!!!
Have fun!!!

A full nitrous bottle lasted me an hour and a half with only 4 hits.

100hp shot of NO2 is about 4 lbs/min. 10lb bottle is about 150 seconds. Yeah, it get's expensive when you get carried away. I'm surprised nitrous is $5/lb in Texas, in San Diego, CA it's only $4/lb and I've got it as low as $3/lb before the most recent gasoline increases.

Hey just wondering but have you guys tried getting like a 75 or a 100lb bottle from a welding or gas supply company??? that is how I do it... it is only about 2.00 a lb that way!!! You can fill it yourself, and you have the big bottle at home that you can run home and fill up when out cruising late on a friday night!!!
