Propane stinks! It comes liquid just like n2o before is becomes compressed. But propane I dont think is as corrosive as N2o. Thats why diesel trucks use propane injection instead of n2o, so it doesnt blow their shit. Propane might be a heavier gas....idk. Do a search....heh

propane is like a small wetshot basically, it in itself adds fuel(and hgiher octane, like 108 i think) and will add power aswell. from what i gather, most people get a month or two out of a $6.00 fill.
