so many to choice from, what size is everyone else using? and if your not a complete switch hore, maybe up down a few times a day, how long does a bottle last? also if u painted one, wouldnt it be hard as hell to get it refilled? becoz u have to exchange them or here u do (bfe(ky)). also post pics of some mounted thx

round here if you own your bottle and you take it to be filled it takes like a week or so for it to be filled, if you do exchanges they can swap it on the spot which it nice.

depends on where you live, the place i used to live at in california you could get them filled right on the spot with nitrogen or just swap them out. here in ky where i live now, any bottle over the size of an 80 is considered to be rented and not owned. i havent found a place here that will sell a bottle over 80 so i dont know about painting a rented bottle. usually most mini's will run either a 125 or a 200 bottle. i would keep a back up compressor just incase.

how about the lenght of them, i guess any size cylinder would work ? as long as it would hold a decent enough pressure, i have another question, my s10 is slow as heck airing up in the front, i have a single compressor with a 9 gallon tank i think it is, it has 2500 bags, even when i hooked it straight up to the air in the grage it was kinda slower, but faster some what. but my question is how much pressure is decent to send to the bags, 200? or more, i slighty switchin over to air from juice learnin as i go,

i dont remember the exact length but i know a 200 bottle from the tip to the back will fit sideways in the back of a toyota truck bed..but just barley...you'll have enought room to fit it in your s10 with room to spare. as far as what psi.. 200 would def. make it faster. what size valves are you running? also what size line? the cool thing about nitrogen bottles is you can regulate them at however fast you want..a buddy of mine usually leaves his at 170-185 for just normal everyday driving and on the weekends or when ever we go out cruisin with the club he'll turn it up to 200 sometimes higher than that it just depends. also, i wouldnt go with any size bottle smaller than 125. since your truck is heavy up front i would recommend a 200 so there is more volume it'll last longer.

oh, ok so do u have to have a reserve tank for the nitrogen tank to run into? i like unhook the compressor and just hook the bottle to that? i'm running all 1/2 inch. where u located at in ky, i'm in somerset. maybe u can help me set this stuff up, i have 3 minis i'm working on at once, and the closest one to been done is the s10 its drivable now,

yea u just need 2 run it into the tank if u want it really fast but leave ur comp hooked up just make sure u have a check valve on the leader hose,or u can just tee it into the line running into the valves,i have a bottle on mine and a viar 450 as backup,i run mine at 300psi and sometimes 350 but i have 1/2 gc450z and 1/2 copper line and slam bags

I use my nitrogen bottle a few times a day and I normally can go a week with a 125 bottle. I also have a train horn so that empties it out also.

it just all depends on what psi ur running also,i know at 300 psi it eats the bottle up fast
