Whats needed to run the bottle on an air set-up along with havin a tank and compressor for when the nitrogen runs out?

you need bottle mounts, check valve, regulator, and a safety cap.

I no longer rely on a compressor but if you are worried about running out of air in one tank you could always get a two tank rack(with 1 regualtor) and use one tank at a time. I use the first tank until it has about 450psi left then switch to the second tank. If I use the second tank until it gets too low I still have more than enough psi in the first tank to make it to the shop to get them re-filled...

What size tanks do you run and about how long do they last you? Also where do you buy the parts to run bottles? I dont really see any of that stuff advertised...thanks guys!

You can get the regulator from any local welding shop or online.

So how long does one bottle generaly last you if you DON'T play with the switches?

I have two 122cu. ft. bottles. One bottle will last a pretty long time depending on how often you hit the switches as well as how high or low your regulator psi is set, and what size lines you have(I have 3/8). I once went through a bottle in 30minutes(almost continuous use) on a Saturday night. The longest I have went on one tank is about 2 weeks. If you like to air out everytime you park and at a few red lights while driving one bottle will probably last you a week(don't forget to close the valve on the bottle each time you are parking for more than about 10minutes because the connection at the regulator will more than likely have a very slow leak). You could also get larger tanks for more volume but they will respectively be heavier and cost more to fill. I got my rack, tanks, and regulator from EKMW but you could probably get the tanks and reguator from just about any welding supply shop. I get my tanks filled at welding supply shops and the price is about $15/tank for nitrogen and about $32/tank for helium for the 122cu. ft. tanks. Yet another factor is some welding shops fill the tanks to 2500psi while others may only fill to 2000psi.

I have a set of the larger 9" diameter bottle brackets on ebay, but they go off in about1 1 1/2 hours.
