Is a nitrous bottle warmer needed in the summer?
 

Is a nitrous bottle warmer needed in the summer months, when it's hot out, or are they only for during the fall months when it's a little cooler outside.
I know their purpose is to keep bottle pressure at/around 900-950psi but was wondering if a warmer is need when it's hot oustide.

when its about 100degrees outside, then no you don't need it, BUT I highly recommend using one for when the temp fluctuates. Make sure you get one that has a pressure sensitive cut-off switch, and not one that is just temperature based.

How much current does a bottle warmer use?

I really don't know, but it's probably a decent amount. I see you have a powermaster alt, so you should be fine.

Yeah, but it's only 100 amps. That's why I asked because I was considering going to a 140 amp if the current was high.

Yeah get one... Because once your bottle loses mass.... ya know u use some of it.. the pressures gonna decrease so u need to heat it up a lil to get the pressure back up.... wont have to refill so soon either =].

That's not really the real reason you need to heat the bottle.
Bottle pressure is dictated by bottle temperature. The warmer the bottle...the more pressure. The colder the bottle...the less pressure.
