Do they sell smaller then a 10lb for Nitrous??!?!

Hey guys, i just bought my nitrous kit and it came with a 15lb bottle but i dont want that big of bottle in my car, so i was wondering if you could get a bottle size lower then a 10lb. I know i have seen them before but i didnt know if it was like a custom bottle or not i just want a small bottle cause i dont plan on sprayin very often and i dont want a big azz bottle sitin in my car. 10lb is cool but i rather go with that smaller one that i have seen before. Also if i go to a smaller bottle then 10lb do i have to change my line that runs from the bottle to the silanoid because the opening on the bottle might be smaller?? If you could guys help me out and if you know of a place where i could get it please tell me thanks alot...........

I have had my nitrous kit for about 3 weeks now, and on a 10lb bottle sprayn' modestly, it emptys quick. I think that you should try the 10lb bottle, but if not they do make 5lb bottle. Just one of the places i found one. Hope it helps.

you could always buy one of the sneaky pete bottles, Lilke the one they sell for bikes and stuff, But they dont hold very much nitrous. you would probably only be able to use it once or twice before its time to refill it.

I agree... with atl01 buy a small nitrous bottle for a bike: 5lbs, 2lbs etc would be a waste because you would be filling it up more than you were using it.....

I had NOS in my B16A2 Civic and my 10lbs bottle wasn't used much but did last too long.... I suggest you try to make some room to fit the bottle and use the 15lbs bottle.

You might lose space but will be thankful in the long run..... Goodluck!

if its a space concern you can link smaller bottles together but its a pain to take em out and fill them. I think they chill easier too, which is crappy for bottle pressure. Unless you wanna run 10 bottle heaters and upgrade your alternator lol (sarcasm) The 10 pound would def be the way to go. 15 is a lil big for our cars. I have seen people use all kinds of configurations but one bottle with a heater is the best way to go.

I was thinking something like that until I seen a local car with a few 5lb capsules under the passenger seat and the driver seat as well. its a pretty sneaky setup

trust me, if you have a 15lb bottle, use the 15 lb. You will regret it later when you run out so fast. You wont like having to refill all the time whereas if you had the 15 lb bottle it will last 3 times as long. Just use the15 lb.
