Default Best way to heat bottle w/o bottle warmer

I haven't gotten my bottle warmer yet, but I want to have some fun with the nitrous this weekend. What is the best way to get the pressure up/ heat the bottle without a bottle warmer. Thanks.

Please, don't do that! You are only asking for trouble. Get the bottle heater.

go to walgreens and buy a full back heat pad $10+/-
wrap it around the bottle and have fun

the only problem is that it is ac power currents so you cant run the warmer in your car (car is dc)

but once the bottle is warm wrap towels around it
you'll be straight
thats what i did (at least)

I used to do the hot water/wrap a blanket around it for years and never had a problem, but I finally got a bottle heater this winter. Don't forget to eventually get a heater, but for the weekend you should be ok with water, I'd put mine in a tub, run hot water over it, and wrap a blanket around it in the car, was good for the night.
