Hey bobv..

Basically it is exactly what it sounds like...

A C02 Bottle heater to keep the C02 warm..
The warmer the C02, I guess either the longer it lasts or the more pressure it will produce...

Interesting concept though...
An electric blanket for your Bulk C02 bottles...

Now how to build one that is portable??

The first thing that comes to mind are those glove boot heaters, open, shake and wrap them around the bottle with a little sweater...

I'm gonna get my gramdma to knit a C02 bottle sweater..

Another thing that may work are MRE heaters..
Not exactly sure how they work,, other than adding water,, but the will get an MRE piping hot in a few minutes!!

Yes, I did mention it.
I was thinking to use something like car's battery blanket for winter or
like those heat pack that you can use for your hand for winter cold.

This one is good for 35 hours perpack.

Yaa that would be sweet in a custom made insulated bottle boot!!
Those are chemical heaters Eh ??!!

Car battery warmer would work,,if you were stationary....

How about something Butane Fired!!!
Now we're cooking with Gas!! LOL

Great idea though I think....

How about trying one of those battery powered electric socks ...would slip over a 20 oz bottle nicely.....never tried them but I have seen them sold at CT and Lebaron....

Thanks for the replies, the first thing that I thought of was the hand/boot warmer packs, don't know about the batterie powered socks, I have a pair and they don't really heat, anyway it's something to try..

To keep co2 powerlets warm, just bring along the wife or girlfriend. Some girls can even handle an airsource bottle.

take an old thick sock and pull it over your c02 tank, place the heat pad in between the two and you should be good to go.

My 68ci carbon fibre paintball tank wears a sock for protection

jes get some electic socks! might do the trick! but you gotta keep the valve and the line between the valve and the co2 warm also, right?
