Easy answer to the bottle warmer question. Any cold day in Victoria is generally a day with patches of rain etc. I follow this rule - DONT USE THE NITROUS
But seriously I do only use it when on long rides and somewhere where the road is deserted, long and straight. It's obviously not for lights to lights racing. (That's what the purge is for )
I'm only on those roads when the temp is generally 25 degrees or hotter and in the middle of the day with the sun beating down on the hump the lowest pressure I get is around 900psi and the highest 1050. I know it's not racing consistency but I'm not racing.
The good thing about nitrous that at 900psi it will run slightly rich, not lean. I generally wait to it gets over 950 though.
In addition to that I know where you can get a warmer for $70. <i></i>
