Nitrous bottle heater element

I need to find out who makes the NOS and NX bottle heater element as it's identical between them and many others. I only require 1 more element for my setup to finish my install. Anybody have any ideas? I don't like the idea of paying $119 for the NX element which is probably triple the cost of it.

Thanks!
Mike

Check this out, this is what you're looking for. Choose the dropdown and you'll see that their element is like 50 bucks.

I need it because I already have a NX bottle heater with the pressure switch. I have a 2nd bottle I want to run the heater off the same switch.

oh ok, thanks...i wasnt clear...

whats a transducer? there was a guy selling one and is it has to do with the heater..heres what he said...

"this isnt the actually heater itself, but a transducer you hook up to any brand bottle heater (NX, TNT, NOS, ZEX, ect..) which turns the heater off once the pressure reaches 1050psi, or if the pressure drops down under 900psi it turns the bottle heater back on."

All the transducer does is turn the heater on and off. I know which one you're talking about. The NX transducer moniters bottle pressure and keeps the bottle between 900-950 psi. The NOS heater comes with a thermostat control that keeps the bottle at 86 degrees which supposedly keeps the bottle around 1000 psi. Essentially all the bottle warmer does is keep the bottle pressure up and the transducer controls the bottle warmer. If you take a look at my link above, that particular warmer kit comes with a pressure regulated transducer, which is better since it is a more accurate method of controlling bottle pressure.

the NX transducer runs from 900 to 1050? is that not a little high? i truly dont know but i always heard about 900 is where you wanna stay. hell i guess NX would know better than my backyard buddies.

PAGregSS-- do you know anybody running the dynotune stuff? there transducer is like 45 bucks which seems really cheap to me. maybe its a great price, maybe its junk equipment. thanks
