Nitrous shelf life ?

I filled my bottle 3 years ago for a project that never happened. It still feels the same weight after I had it filled so I'm guessing it didn't leak. Is it still usable?

thanks

That stuff never goes bad. But you could take a few deep sniffs and if you now feel happy, you know its good. lol

Heh, heh...if something like this happens you'll know it's good. But, please take a video of it, especially if you're in costume.

Haha, I should take a sniff of it when having it Filled. It makes me wanna cry cause there is only one filling station here on the island and he charges $90 for the 10lb bottle fill. LOL

The Bottle Itself

Thanks for the information, that was one question I had about the shelf life of the nitrous, but what about the bottle? Is there an "expiration" or an amount of time that requires the bottle to be tested?

Thanks!
