Default Nitrous bottle in fridge

Does this increase the amount of nitrous you receive? I understand that a 10lb bottle will only hold 10 lbs....but with temperature affecting whether it's gas or liquid, wouldn't it be the colder the bottle, the more liquid? I realize that united speedworld and those places hold the bottle overnight, freeze them, and fill them, but I'm not that patient . Also, what are some of the best prices in the area for nitrous per lb. Mild to Wild is charging 2.50/lb.

Wouldn't it B more on the source side that would count for density ?

If that was a factor then yes, but I'm hoping they have a good tank.

it's almost opposite of heating the bottle to get the gas to expand and create more pressure, like it will be cooling the nitrous, making it more dense, thus allowing more liquid, and not filling it with much gas....is that correct?

its like this, when you fill a bottle you are trying to compress alot of shit in a little place, and it gets compressed and hotttttt, therefore harder to fill and will take forever, but if the filler freezes your bottle, when he hooks it up to the NOS refill thing, it will almost suck about 7 to 8 pounds into it and he only has to pump a couple pounds and its easier for him, but yes you can cram just a tad more into it

When you put the bottle in the freezer it drops the pressure of the bottle. So when you go to fill it, the Filler bottle has higher pressure so it forces the nitrous into the bottle that came out of the freezer. When we fill bottles all we is freeze them, instead of having a nitrous pump.

I would NOT recommand overfilling bottles not a good idea. Stokd85 is right could cause serious problems.
