NANO Nitrogen Aisst. Questions..

That would be neat. I like the sound of that. I would definitely think the nitrogen flow alone would be enough to cause a pretty severe misfire issue.

Yes, the Nano system does have a regulator. If you run a full Nano bottle at the same time you run a full Nitrous bottle, you won't have a problem. I am also running a fuel pressure switch on the stand alone to cut the flow of nitrous if I run out of fuel in my stand alone tank. You have to setup your nitrous with proper fail safes to avoid potential issues. Nano is really the only way to go imo.

I too have been thinking about adding Nano... I have a friend of mine who swears by it.

I think I'll be using the NANO as well, in lieu of a bottle heater.
With a 200-250 shot, I'd think the bottle pressure will need some assistance to keep it consistent.

I loved my nano setup, make the car so consistent, the car will with trap 138.xx as long as I grab 4th. allowed me to simplify the setup too, no gauges or misc lines or things to monitor. Worked 100% of the time, every time. Dive shop charged me $4 to fill.

I would probably stay away from the 4500 tank because you might have trouble finding someone that will fill to that psi. I guess that there isn't an advantage of running the 4500 over the 3000, otherwise they wouldn't have stopped selling them.

How many bottles are we talking about here? How many 15lb bottles could I run on one 4500 nano tank before it would require a refill?

4500 will last longer. All my paintball tanks were 4500psi. They lasted a lot longer than 3000psi tanks. Since it is regulated down to ~1000psi or whatever, as long as it is above 1000psi it will work as intended, and 4500psi will stay above 1000 for a lot longer.

Anyone have a rough idea of how many pounds of nitrous one 4500/3000 tank equates to?

No idea, as I've never used one. Just clearing up what lambo posted how there must be no advantage to a 4500. There is clearly an advantage.

I'm just thinking personally that it may be of no advantage to me if it can push say 60lbs of nitrous before falling below regulator as I would run out of bottles. Hopefully someone will have some input on lb/HPN or HPA tank refill

Just because its a 4500 tank vs 3000 tank, does not mean its going to last longer. The 4500 tanks were much smaller and hold much less volume. The only real advantage of a 4500 vs 3000 was weight. It weighed like half as much.

Given the same volume... Of course a smaller tank won't last as long. It is just a high pressure tank. Paintball guns use them all the time, along with other applications. You can get all different sizes.

I would think that a 4500 would last about a long as a 15lb N2O bottle would. I change mine out before they would get too low as the Mile uses lots of juice. I did not want to run low as it is a 3-4 hour wait to run again.
