Had a sponsor pm me about stating that the New wet kit nozzles were heard to be cad plated brass instead of the Stainless Steel I had stated. Fact is they are SS nozzles unlike most aluim from other companys. So, a lot of hear-say and rumors concerning the quality of Cold Fusion, but I just debunk them as I go. Just like some try to imply that CF noids aren't that good when in fact they come from the same manufacturer that supplies one of the nitrous companys known for #1 quality. This is ok though because it's just a chance to state the real facts and promote the quality/value that is really there.

I say highest quality, at a budget price. No giant overhead to cause price to be high. So, let the end user decide, high quality kit at a budget price, or a high quality kit at a high price, which would you like? Wait till you guys see the stuff coming. we are on the move.

Robert,
I stand corrected about the cold fusion pressure switch. I must have been mis informed about how much pressure it can go up to. Im still not a fan off the switch.I think for a little more you can use a much better switch.
If its Hobbs PN 79708 or 79710 it has a max adjustabilty ot only 1000 psi and has a differential of 180 psi. This means if you set it to 900 psi....it has a repeatabilty of + or - 90 psi (180 total). So if you set it for 900 psi it may be 810 or 990. The max you can get your bottle to is 1000 psi and with the differential....you actually may only get 910 psi...
THe NX is about +/- 20 for a differential of about 40 psi.
The adjustable one we use is within +/0-25. for abut a 50 psi differential. and adjust to 1250 psi..
I just wanted to set the record straight..
The one we use is the same as the Dyno tune. So back to the best deal..While you are giving away a bottle blanket.Dyno tune is using a better pressure switch.So the value is in the eye of the beholder.

The more info you guys give on these bottle heaters, the harder it is to decide on which one to use. 
I know one thing is for sure.....all of the products you two are descibing seem to be light years ahead of this zex heater I am currently running. I'm going to be going back through all of the information posted here and hopefully will be making a decision on which heater I'm going to use. Both heaters seem to be of high quality and obviously both are very well backed by the company offering them.
Always tough to decide between quality products and great customer service!!!!

I did not relize you could bypass the thermostat on the zex heater. However after talking to Ricky you can just cut it out and buy a pressure switch and run what you have.
Here is a link to our adjustable pressure switch.
