hey bro you can lease a bottle,here where i live its like 2 bucks a,month for the bottle,then 35 bucks to fill it..not sure in your area?check the welding supply stores.then get a good regulator.run the line from the regulator to your tank pretty simple realy,i whould say leave one comp hooked up as a back up it always sucks to be layed out and have no juice in the bottle..and as far as how long the last that all depends on how much you hit switches bro..play alot =fill alot know what i mean..hope this helps man..

yeah bro your regulator should come with a line to go the tanks you already have..i have always used hydro line on my nitro set ups.first time i used dot line and ran some p.s.i to them they didnt last long.you may wanna consider your bags as well if they are old firestones and have any weather checking prolly arent gonna last very long,compressed gas weather cheacking not good lol..i love the speed of nitrogen but some times it can tear shit up if you arent carefull.just make sure you air system is tight and you'll be cool.

Love my nitrogen. Cost $800 for the entire setup...I bought the bottles. And bought the brackets from Ekstensive. Fill both bottles once a month.

I lease my big bottles(same as above) for 40 a year from Airgas. It costs 15 to fill them up. I have a AZ for back up air. I'm all hydraulic line and 1/2 valves. I love nitrogen. You don't have to listen to the stupid compressor all the time and you don't have to watch the gauge. Just hit them as much as you want of course until you run out, but that's why i have 2 tanks.

FYI:You mite have to change the REG, N2 is a 580 valve and air is 640 valve.On some regs you can just change the Nipple or the part that gos into the valve.
