heating the co2?

I have heard that getting a co2 cover dosent warm the bottle, but if u get heating patches ( im not really sure if there patches or like socks) and then put the cover over it, it will keep the co2 warm in the winter.

I was wondering were I would find one of those heating things and what is the best type to get. I have heard that medical ones work well but im not sure were I could get one.
 
Does anyone know anywere were I could get a heating patch/sock for my co2?

i thought of the same thing

theres a few pairs of heated socks on ebay now.

maybe. check walmart or kmart too.

just get hand warmers that have those penquins on them and duct tape them to your tank then put a tank cover over it, or a sock

What do you suggest?

wal mart or like a hunting store its like a small square pouch

Not a Good Idea

The pressure inside a CO2 tank is dependent on temperature. Not how full it is, but temperature. If you get the tank hot, you will at the very least blow the burst disk, maybe create a dangerous condition. If you want to play in the cold and are having problems with CO2, I recommend switching to HPA

Yeah, kevinz may "have done his research," but anyone who has taken a high school chemistry class should know that. Everyone knows that there is liquid CO2 in a CO2 tank. When you shoot there is a release of pressure. The liquid in the tank boils, maintaining the pressure.

Actually, disregard that. The easiest way to explain it is different than that. How does a steam engine work? How does a steam catapult work? Heat water really hot, it expands creating pressure. CO2 is the same. Increase the heat, increase the pressure. Too much pressure, you blow a burst disk, shoot hot, or blow your tank up.

a battery powered sock over the tank will be like your tank on a hot day. as long as its not exposed to heat in excess of 100 degrees, its fine. i know those socks dont get that hot, and with the cold air, it wont be at its maximum heat.

a small hpa tank is great, but if you dont play at a field, your screwed with efficiancy.

wait this co2 thing confuse me but why would this little bit of heat matter. i know it would expand, but... (now go with me on this here im not real sure) but wouldnt it work just like normal air... k u fill a tank up with normal air and lets say it is 20 degress well ur gonna get more air in there at 20 then lets say 80 degress if they were both filled up to lets say 1000psi. now heat that tank up ur at 80 degress and the air has majorly expanded. well that could be a problem... but lets say u fill that tank up at 80 degress and now u bring it down to 20 degress now the air has shrunk and if u warm it up it wont matter cause its already below what it was filled up at,,, and im sure that his co2 tanks arent filled in 20 degree weather but more like a 75 degree heated store right (god i hope that made sense and does co2 work like that or is it completly different than air?)
