I really like how you broke down the refuel weight to get same as isobutane and runtime cost. Great review! Well thought out. Been considering the same thing. Probably gonna get the backpacker based on your review and already have a jetboil java so same fuel. Not terrible on fuel consumption for a mosquito repellent. How well does it work with O+ blood types? My wife's a mosquito magnet lol
Anthony, thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment man! I really like the Thermacell's, but I'm not sure they are blood type specific 🤣. My wife gets eaten alive too and these things really do cut down on the biters.
Not so simple. There's a hack but takes some effort. That said I wish the product is easily refillable by design, so we won't need to waste so much plastic packaging. The company cares a whole lot more about its profits than the environment.
@@kitty4536 It's very simple. And you only need to do it once and then just refill each time. The big companies care more about making money then the plastic.
I think the mats are of different sizes and that Thermacell has stopped selling those of the MR450 without the butane precisely because of the trick to fill the cartridges yourself...
Love you channel. Thanks for sharing!

very informative thanks man
You DO NOT need to buy refills. Just refill them yourself the same way you would with a lighter. It's a hell of a lot cheaper!
That's a good call, never crossed my mind that you could do that with them. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for watching.

Good. But how do you get the mats without the gas?
Right here is the mats only

I would like to know if the mat is identical for the two models (same dimensions)?

Algo :D
Last year I let a mosquito go,...... totally came back to bite me in the a$$
You shouldn't have been naked in the woods anyway!
Too bad the backpacker isn't made to be strapped to your pack like the other
Yeah that would be nice. I'm sure there's a way, but you would have to get creative
Dude- like the channel but the constant arm swinging needs to take a break
Damn it wasn’t that bad, what are you a movie producer or something
