Quest about keeping PSI up and bottle warmed...

W/O being heated my bottle stays under 900PSI, between 700-800. Like right now i have a full bottle thats been sitting a week and the PSI is at 800 and i just put a heating pad to it and its SLOWLEY riseing, it took an hour to get to 900..... Sound normal?

If i spray between 700-800 PSI im not getting the full power im suppose to be am i? Im told its best to shoot between 900-1200... Ive actually never shot at 900psi becaus the bottle has always been cold...

Anoher quetion, someone told me i could use a torch to heat up my bottle, i actually did once but the bottle was almost empty when i did so ionly got like to like 900 or so psi....

Try buying a botttle heater everone makes one. If you want to do it cheap you can but just a heater for around $60, and run it a toggle switch, but you have to watch bottle pressure or it could get to high.

Heating pads work OK at best. Torch is good way to reach a bottle explosion. Yes running between 900-1100 will net you the best results.
SImplest way is to just get 1 of the bottle heaters and use that.
Another trick is to use hot water to heat up the bottle if you are at home.
