Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Enhance Performance with ZEX 82006 Wire-In Nitrous Bottle Heater by Aaron Moore

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very disappointing - bottle components

I purchased this item a few months ago and ended up installing it once my setup in the car was complete. First, there were no proper instructions in the box (there were instructions on how to blow the solenoid), so I had to turn to the internet. Once it was installed I tried using it to heat a bottle of saltpetre, it would turn on for about 5 seconds and then turn off for a couple of minutes which didn't heat the bottle at all. I checked all the connections to make sure nothing is lost, everything is checked. My brother bought the same device from another vendor; Since we were planning to race on the same day, he pocketed his for the first time only to encounter the same issue. To get it to work we had to unplug the temperature controller and bypass the internal wiring. At this point it worked, but it lost the automatic function it was bought for. I'm trying to get mine back but it's expired so looks like I'll have to have it operated on to at least make it work manually. A complete waste of money as the NOS brand you can buy a "dumb" heater for around $70. I am very disappointed in ZEX, it will probably put me off any of their other products as I have ventured out of my norm so to speak. I can understand one failed device, but 2 with the same problem from different vendors. No thank you.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Nothing here
