Default Nitrous Cost??

How much does a bottle of Nitrous cost?
Approximately how long does it last?
Where do you get refills? Locally or mail order?

Is this the same stuff dentists use??

It's around 3.00-3.50 a lb. here in Houston right now. The nitrous that we are "supposed to use", is not Medical grade, it has sulfur added to prevent people from inhaling it, 'cause' the Sulfur will make you SICK(naseous). Medical grade is just pure N20, I don't know if it makes a difference from a performance stand point.I try to use the medical grade if possible, just in case. Other than that, it is the same as at the dentist. You should be able to get it locally, depending on where you live. YOU CAN NOT MAIL A CYLINDER FULL OF COMPRESSED GAS. :crazy:
