By the time I get there the bottle is usually around 1000psi. Between passes I keep it warm with a torch (yeah I know...) and I can easily maintain 1000psi even after several runs. I can make 4 passes through an .041 nitrous jet and only use 5.5lbs of nitrous - So thats about 40-45 seconds of use.

if you are gunna torch the bottle make sure you are doing it evenly and get one of those stick on fish tank temperature indicators....
