Did not see this post, sorry!

There are a lot of variables to this. Standard bottle wrap around like NX & N.O.S. make good bottle warmers, these are the only two I have used.

With summer ambient temps 70's and above, a full bottle may take about 10-15 min to get 1000 - 1050 psi, unless your bottle is low on nitrous. As the bottle gets lower on nitrous, so does the psi. Then heating the bottle will take a little longer.

If mounted in the trunk, you have to be very carefull of bottle temp during hot days. The trunk is like an oven and bottle temp will/can sky rocket without a bottle heater. Mounted in the rear seat area sitting in the sun can make the bottle temp even higher with direct sun hitting the bottle thru glass.

During cold days/nights in the 50's or less, it can take 30 min plus to heat up a bottle mounted in trunk.
