Default o-ring or not with a 100 shot

silly question i know but i have not played with nitrous myself yet,a few friends have it in their cars. but my question is that i have twisted wedge heads and a zex 100/125 shot nitrous kit and i was wondering what is the rule about spraying do i need o-ringed heads or just different gaskets. like i said only a 100/125 shot

I run a 100 shot and it's not necessary but it is added insurance......I'd however run a wet shot and not a dry shot.....the wet will add fuel with the NOS and less likely of running lean
