Default How much is it to fill a 10 lb. bottle?

I was just curious as to how much it cost to run Nitrous. How long does a 10 lb bottle typically last?

I would guess anywhere from $25-$40. It really depends on who's selling it. When I was spraying, it cost me $35 for a fill, but I don't remember what size bottle it was, maybe 10lb, 12lb, something like that. I'd say you could get a good 5 strong passes, then after that a bottle heater would help a lot to keep the pressure up. Hope this helps. Just my opinion.

N2O goes for ~$4/# here in Houston. So it costs $40 to fill an empty bottle. And I agree that you could get ~5 passes before the pressure drops too much. I have a heater but I haven't hooked it up yet so I can't speak to how much that helps/how many more runs you can get out of the bottle with it.
