Who has actually smelled automotive nitrous oxide? How strong is the sulfur smell that I hear people say its suppose to have?
I ask because I recently picked up a zex dry jet from Jamallot who got it from another former cougar owner with a questionable history. Jamallot was told that the tank was full, and there is certainly something in it, but I am wondering if it is actually nitrous oxide. When I was first installing the kit, I had a connection that was not tight and it was leaking pretty good. So, I closed the bottle and had my fiancee drain the line, so I could fix all of the connections, but I didn't recall any sulfur smell. It takes a good 5+ seconds to drain the nitrous out of the line, and I just had it spraying into the air, so there should have been a descent amount lingering in the air. Maybe this is still just me thinking I should feel more from 55 shot, but it doesn't really seem that much faster. So, tonight I got a little daring, I disconnected the line and opened the bottle slightly and stuck my face right into the stream. I still did not smell any type of sulfur smell, nor did I feel any odd affects from essentially huffing the gas. (I know this is not recommended, and I did not do it for fun, nor would I ever. So save your breath if you are going to flame me for it.)
Opinions/input please.
