Default got a question on my nitrous

i went to the track last night and i am running a 125shot. the bottle had 900psi, but when i used the nitrous it didnt even make a difference. is it possible to get bad nitrous? i checked both solenoids today and they both are working. The only thing i can think of is that i got bad nitrous. could someone please chime in and let me know if thats possible, or to check something else that could be the problem.

No I've never had that happen in the countless bottles I've gone thru... Nor have I even heard of it happening...

You need to tell me your exact set up... What window switch, wot set up, etc, and how its all wired... My guess if your problem is there

I would say it is more a problem of it not hitting than bad nitrous. and nitrous is nitrous, it is just n2o, i don't think you can have bad nitrous.

i just have a wot switch. both solenoids are working. i think my bottle has just air in the bottle. i just activated my nitrous, took a wrench and both solenoids have a magnetic charge when i arm the wot switch.

Talking

ya i can hear the click, and both are magnetized when wot is activated. i did some research and other ppl have had a dealer refill the bottle, and it be just air. when the bottle is disconnected and you open the bottle i heard it comes out kinda like a white smoke is that true? if it is i dont have that

How much does the bottle weigh? Full should be 20something. But... If it was working it would actually run like **** because of all the extra fuel... I've hit my switch by accident and it hardly wants to climb thru the rpms because of all the extra fuel
