Well I rolled the car around for fun tonight, its like 75 or so and things....now I went and purged my stuff and I could hear the pressure and the normal hiss, but I saw nothing. Its dark so i parked under a streetlamp and tried again....still hissin, no white cloud.....

I checked the guage and it read 1000 so I decided to go for it. Sprayed fine....I could tell the car was gettin juice......but now Im confused....Anyone else have this "problem".....Its never happened.......Ill try it again tomarrow to see if it has a change....

i rarely ever see any cloud when i purge... you need the perfect temp and humidity

Are you sure that you aren't close to empty? Either way I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't say that's entirely true, although it is a contributing factor. I'd check to see if the bottle is getting empty, although if it reads 1000psi, I'm clueless.

Could be how your bottle is mounted too. The first time I mounted mine it would not purge right unless completely full. I didn't have it on enough of an angle....?

im always wondering if i have mine at the right angle

Its been in for a year and purged 1plenty and always given a huge white cloud, always.....Ill weigh it and see.....I thought it may be getting empty too, but it sprayed fine.....I dunno

If you are using a heater, even as your bottle empties, the heater will bring the pressure up to 1000 psi. Basically there is no liquid left, just vapor, which is getting heated. The bottle pressure will be fine, but there is no nitrous left, hence no white cloud. You are just running low. Nothing to worry about. It will feel like you are getting some juice because the vapor is still pretty cold and will cool the intake charge.
