im not exactly sure, i know if you have a 100 shot and run that for 10 seconds you use .8 of a pound, so basicaly you wont even be able to run a 10 second shot on that bottle, but then again 10 seconds is a long time

Cold fusion
Last year at the lancaster Drag strip, most of the guys were either running cold fusion nitrous oxide, http://www.coldfusionnitrous.com/, or NOS. So I can't understand why I never hear it mentioned here. I got the Cold fusion system and I love it. Is it a New York thing? My 100 shot is unbelievable. I can't even use it with 4:10s in first.

If you ever get serious about using nitrous "and you will" then you will come to roadblocks if you buy Venom or Zex. Definately stay away from a "Dry"kit. They make less power and are more prone to leaning out the A/F ratio.
Also you will not find many accessories from Venom or Zex or other small nitrous companies. When you go to buy parts at the local dealer for them, they will always have to be ordered. NOS and NX parts are usually in stock. I have been though the whole...."oh yea im just gonna run a 100 shot..." Yea right!! NX measures theyre power at the wheels and theyre safer when setup right. A 100 shot from Zex will only put down 75 horses at the wheels. Usually the same goes for Venom. Also I know for a fact that the Zex kit is a piece of crap. I had one. All the parts are fragile soft aluminum and I broke a bunch of stuff. The purple is gay looking when everyone else has cool NX or NOS stuff.
NX is the only company that offers a "Plate" style kit. It uses a spray bar inbetween the intake manifolds to inject the nitrous. This is better for atomization and it makes for a fatter powerband. Other nozzle kits will have a hard initial hit but the power will taper off most of the time. The plate just pulls baby to the redline!
I know the Venom comes with SOME safety. All it really is is an inaccurate A/F switch....... Just buy an NX kit with a window switch, a fuel switch, and colder plugs. Thats all you need and its an even better combination in terms of safety because you have the window switch. I think everyone needs a window switch just because it makes the system so much safer and its ALOT of fun. Its more fun becasue the nitrous comes on so Automatically. Its like flooring it while N/A but when you hit 3000......weeeeeeee!!!!! Its very hard to setup a Venom kit with a window switch. You really do need one because you WILL bog the engine from a slow launch and spray while its bogging..... Everyone does it....
Forget all the crap just go with A reputable company like NOS or NX.

I use a NX wet kit (100 hp shot) with a FJO Racing progressive mini controller. I feel this is the only way to go. The N2O can be controlled with your laptop. http://www.fjoracing.com/products.php d
