As long as you keep the bottle warm to the touch (not hot)...no problems at
all (did this for well over a year - never blew a disc). As for more shots
with CO2...no way, no how (already tested that route with a larger 20oz CO2
bottle vs. my Compressed Air).

Be sure to stock up on Burst Disks when you get your e-Sock.
A Co2 tank at ambient temp is about 600 PSI. When you heat it, the pressure
will go up.
Think of a Propane or Nitrous tank. The same principals apply, as the the
fluid boils, it replaces the vapor consumed, keepping the pressure CONSTANT
at a given temp. The side effect, is, it gets cold. Any frost is not
caused by the Co2 (which has NO moisture) but by external ambient air
getting into the barrel and condenseing, like water on the outside of a
glass of ice.
For a same size tank, you will get more shots out of a
Co2 tank than a high pressure air/nitrogen tank, which needs a heavire
pressure regulator. (3000 PSI vs 600PSI)
Nuff said.
