don't do it.
as CRH mentioned: it's not needed and without a very good tune, I could see this ending very badly.

Yea +1 on ^ I bought a kit from him ( which works excellent by the way thanx again Charles) and I got trigger happy and the bottle was empty in in 5dayz I was really tryna get adjusted to it so that's why I was trigger happy!
I ordered a second bottle and a bottle opener for the next stage of my project!

Side note: cahrles Ima send u some pix of my purge setup I just want ur input on some things thanx again!

I was gonna fabricate a relay that will activate the opener when the main bottle is empty is that what u mean?

Well the main reason is cuz where I live I have to drive an hour to fill up the tank and it doesn't last long enough for my taste!
Also I wanted to try and come up with some new ideas for a local buisness I started with some friends

Maybe I misunderstood but that's what I mean I want 2 bottles in one setup but I don't want both bottles open at the same time. What I mean is when the first empties the second will open and be the supply

Ok i understand somewhat but I figured it was like adding a second stage to the system! Guess it's back to the drawing board

but in regards to what u were saying about the parallel bottles can u explain that a little more

As it does this, your nitrous system will slowly (and slightly) begin to run a little richer. Once your tank reaches about 600 PSI it will be rendered useless and only have about 20% capacity. However long this takes depends on how you use your system.

With the plan you have this is what would happen with each tank.

If you were to parallel the tanks together, your pressure would remain in the optimal range for 2x as long until both tanks need to be refilled.
Now I understand completely and it makes sense y u would say it wouldn't work! So in parallel would it be that one bottle would keep the pressure of the other bottle in the optimal range?
Sorry for the rookie questions but I'm still learning

Oo! Oo! I have a question Charles! lol I'm not a physics major so I wouldn't know the answer to this but wouldn't having both tanks open also put 2x as much pressure into the lines? I would like to have two tanks but was worried by having 2 tanks open that the solenoids or even the threaded lines would be under emense pressure...

about a year now i guess. the upgrade is being worked on by BHR but is a long way off unfortunately... right now the safest shot is the 55 offered by zex. if you have any questions everything is on the forum and if u can't find it then ask CHR. he knows all when it comes to nitrous. good luck
