Default Bottle Heater is Pissing me off

I just wanted to check out there and see if anyone else has a Bottle Heater Efficiency problem. It seem that when my bottle is opened cold and the pressure is about 550-650psi, it takes FOREVER for the heater to bring the temp up.

I know a little thermal dynamics so I am guessing a bottle blanket would be a good investment but I am not sure. Anyone have the same gripe?

I am running a NX Bottle Heater on a 10lb bottle. Dual Heaters maybe?

Thanks!

Somethings deff wrong... Either your heating up an empty bottle or your warmer is messed up... When my bottl eis full but cold.. 650psi it takes maybe 10 minutes to get up to 1050...

Maybe your PSI gauge is messed up and showing a lower pressure then it really has?

I'm going to pull it and have it filled soon. Its probably empty but I'm not 100% sure. The bottle is DAMN hot. Hot enough to burn you but the pressure is barely moving up.

I'll keep checking.

It's probably down to the last 1/2 Lb.

The juice be gone, man!

Also, its in liquid form in the bottle so when its low on juice the majority of it will be at the bottom part of the bottle. Move the heater down as low as possible. I always keep a towel in the car to throw over the bottle to help in heating.
