It turns white because of the temerature difference. The usage of Nitrous Oxide to enhance engine performance dates way back to World War II where N2O was used in fighter planes to compensate for less oxygen in the atmosphere at high altitudes. One of the first uses of nitrous oxide in cars was by NASCAR racer Smokey Yunick who used nitrous oxide in his car to win races until it was discovered and banned by NASCAR.

Nitrous oxide is color-less and non-flammable. Apparently it smells somewhat sweet. Dentists use nitrous oxide to as anesthetic for patients, and it’s known as laughing gas in the dentistry circles. It’s stored in the vehicle in liquid form in a canister. Because of limited storage capacity, usually limited “shots” of nitrous oxide is stored and the driver uses it sparingly in bursts by activating a button. Like what you see in The Fast and the Furious.

Don't try to smell automotive use N20. It is NOT the same as medical grade.

Don't they poison it so that you won't smell it? I know they poison rubbing alcohol so that people won't drink it. Well some people don't. My dad told me when he was a social worker at Grady (long time ago) that the bums would filter it through coffe filters and shirts or some shit and then drink it. Still terrible for you but alot safer.

BTW, I have nothing useful to contribute to this thread.

are u running a bottle heater? if not that could be ur problem the nitrous has to be warmer than the temperature outside for the white mist to appear. as the bottle empties it just like a can of keyboard cleaner it gets cold and looses pressure but as soon as u heat it up it sprays hard again. same as a nitrous bottle. also if u dont already have a nitrous pressure gauge get one. i suggest getting the nx fire and ice heater/cooler to keep it at the right temp so u dont have any glitches in ur system, and will also keep the spray mist up if u just want to show it off.

^^^ Actually it's the opposite; the nitrous comes out butt-ass cold. Hitting the warm air cools the water droplets in the air, effectively causing a "cloud". A bottle warmer heats the bottle to maintain a consistent pressure as the bottle gets emptied.

It has sulfer dioxide mixed in with it, along with some other impurities. It's fine for a car, but bad for your lungs. Feels like it burns. That's why NHRA rules say to you have to have a dump tube if the tank is not in the trunk.

You wouldn't be posting right now if you just huffed N2O that is used in performance applications.
