I watched this guy so stoned on my phone that I had zoomed in and could only see his mouth and the very end of his nose and his moustache for the first sixteen minutes before I realised I was literally embedded in his moustache and so I came to advise you all not to forget to zoom out.
I’ve been recently purchasing the Flextail gear I’ve got the SUP pump , ZERO pump , Evo Lantern & the ZERO seat.. I’m now waiting for the Tiny repeller S , after seeing your video now makes me think sending it back when it arrives..
I just ordered two of the Tiny Repeller gift boxes, right before I saw this video. The video I watched before the purchase said they work great. Fingers crossed this guy got a dud. I did enjoy the video though.
I have the Thermacell backpacker model, love that thing! It's glitchy, will sometimes shut off and you don't realize it but overall it's worked well for years and it is extremely effective. We put it on the ground between our chairs and it's great.
Can't go wrong with good ol reliable.. I had high hopes for the flex tail but I figured it would fail.. Great video and thanks for the dedication you put into these videos
I'm wondering if you got a defective Flextail. Another reviewer said the pads look moist when it's working. But I really appreciate that you were willing to get ate by mosquitos for research!
I have tried everything with that flextail it’s trash the replacement they sent for it is also trash Keep in mind they do pay people for reviews we turned that down as it’s not how we do it we film honest performance talks testing no matter what the content of the video is about
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA thank you 🙂 I did a thing I don't normally do, a friend said they thought it was good so I ordered without checking reviews .. waiting for my 's' version to arrive but now thinking it is going to just be an expensive camping lamp lol 😁 live and learn but fingers crossed the third setting helps
Omg dude. You LOVE the sound of your own voice. Repeating yourself over and over again. Stop waiving the units all over. Turn it on. Set it down and let it work. This video is less a product review and more a study in human behavior. Thermacell works. Flex tail doesn’t. Save ur time. Ur welcome.
I’m nine minutes into this rambling nonsense and so far all I know is ur using thermacell products In a device it’s not designed for and ur a duck hunter.
I have used a Thermacell since the first year or so since they came out and while camping in North New England. I can verify that Thermacell works and have the same unit since new and no problems. I buy the pads and gas cylinders at Walmart. Lowes Home Improvement is selling the table lamp version. Thanks for the video.
I highly recommend not following my lead on this one 🤣🤣 They are sending a replacement so Wel be back on the swamp testing again shortly! Plus with some nitecore options as well
Great video! Really enjoyed your head to head testing, now I know for sure it's not the pads. I told you that Tiny Repel was trash, no need to further test it.
Absolutely , thermacell works . placed under and as close to center of blood source ( this means you ) is the ideal location . 15' zone will vary with the wind direction , and with enough wind effectiveness will suffer and so will you . I use mine hunting and always wondered how they found me 30' up a tree . Turns out they feed heavily on birds ! Probably also squirrels and coons and possums !
First..wind WILL affect the repeller..don't move it around..second..place the Thermacell on the deck if you don't want your legs chewed up..the vapor travels up...if the mats are black they're used up..Thermacell works!.
I see you made this a year ago, but just wondering if you've ever compared or tried the older type of mosquito coil inside like a Coghlan holder to the Thermocell? Very good video btw, props for taking the bites using the Flextail unit! Too bad about the Flextail fails, it's a really sleek unit.
I didn't even know these products existed before watching this video! Now I'm wondering if there is any device which keeps other bugs (not just mosquitoes) away?
I was going to subscribe to your channel because of dedication sitting in Sketoes !! But apparently I’ve been watching your spring turkey hunt videos for a while now you don’t look the same sport in a little hat compared to your gobbler get up so I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but I was gonna subscribe to you, but I don’t have to cause I already watch your videos!!
This really isnt a good review. Flextail literally has 4 separate models, 2 tinys; 1 with and without a power bank. Than they have 2 bigger models even lasting up to 28hrs. You most likely just got a bad model, they one you have probably has manufacturer defects... Ive seen so many reviews on flextail where other people have had extremely good experiences with it...
A review that yields bad results is not bad just because others have had great luck You do realize FLEXTAIL pays people to review these? I refused the money and tested it honestly… believe what you want
flextai must hate you for this video lol :D they are full of shit with this product ... you can not comment on their yt shorts and that is enough for me to know this ... thanks 4 the review you made me sure what to buy :D peace !!
I just ordered the new version of this one (S). Probably would not of ordered it if I had seen this first. But I have seen other reviews where people used it in the video and it worked. Maybe yours is defected? I will give it a try and still use my thermacell. I have been refilling the butane for years to save money and would order the pads from Asia. For some reason, it is harder to find them on ebay now. Great video! I just suffer wearing long sleeve self wicking shirts and pants in the summer when outside. I wanted this to keep on the boat when I'm in the swamp.
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Yes I watched. Scientifically you will find varying results from users online. What seems to be happening is that some species of mosquito reacts favorably to the technology and some do not. Out here in the high alpine Rockies I have found that out species of mosquito really are immune to the thermacel technology and I got ate alive. As with any tech, results may vary. Personally deet is unbeatable, but again not everyone can use deet. What seems to work best is a combination of an attractant and kill device using heat and CO2 and treating my clothes with permethrin. Both kill mosquitoes and are easily backpacked.
Seen a lot of videos about the Flextail Mini, unfortunately didn’t see yours before I bought one! I agree that it doesn’t get hot enough. I’ve tried the pads in the Thermocell, they kinda work but not for long. Got a box full of those things 🙄. Interested in your review of the Nitecore.
Great review mate, you’ve just confirmed what all the other reviewers have come across, the unit doesn’t generate enough heat (power) to be effective 👎 shame really as I was hoping to take the Flextail abroad as I’m limited to one butane refills gas bottle on the plane on my new Thermacall MR300 unit, but will do the blag on the bottle by taking the inner valve out and buy some gas lighter fuel abroad, thanks for putting ya life in danger!🤣🤣🤣💪👍
What about using one of those spiral mosquito repellants that you light with a match? They would start working immediately and certainly are less expensive.
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Good point. Though there's a bunch of variables left uncontrolled so the results are still probably inaccurate. I'll just assume thermacell is better.
@alexoja2918 I disagree with that, they both were tested in the same real life conditions which one would actually be using them in… bout as accurate a test as you can make with what they are designed for
Thanks for the test, I'm wondering if it is influenced by air temp? If ambient temp is hot then it could easilly get up to operating temp, but in cooler conditions, maybe the unit is struggling to reach that range? I have 2 units, one has already failed on me at 12c, not tested the other yet. but if correct, then I may try just using the pads around or in a twig stove! BTW I'm in UK and using them in Northumberland and Scotland against midges, usually 10 - 15 degrees C in these parts.
Well it was hot for this test so it shouldn’t have been an issue I think it’s just cheap quality, they are sending a replacement which I will again test fairly!
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Well I have the Max repel, So now thinking they are good as phone chargers and nothing more! I'll experiment with the pads and see what happens!
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA they messed me up man biting through a ghille suit and I was using a fishing shirt as an underlayer. Luckily only got my arms and hands but could probably count out 30 of them just on my hands lol. But good luck this season and I appreciate the videos
I would NOT be sniffing the pads. The ingredients on your light device looked like insecticide(you barely flashed the label), rather than repellent. If going to use insecticide, Spray your clothes with a permethrin solution, like Sawyer's. Thermacell works better in an enclosure like a blind, but still would not be sniffing the vapors directly from the machine.
I use sawyers on all my hunting gear and sniffing these pads like I did would have zero effect on my body the ingredients in them both are safe solutions to repel mosquitoes The two ingredients listed were : prallethrin & meperfluthrin
I have been using a Thermacell ever since they came on the market and when I have something that proves it works I stay with it. I've used it locally here in Central Florida , mid-south Florida at Fisheating Creek and south in the Everglades & 10,000 Islands areas. Not a single skeeter bite when it's on. The darn thing even works in Canada , The Okefenokee Swamp and over in Louisiana & even Texas.
Yessir! Check out my nitecore repeller unit tests they are just as good! They are my new go to which is even crazy to say! ua-cam.com/video/7hEfrNTG91o/v-deo.html
I haven't used my thermacell yet, i got it on sale last year for camping. I am ignorant on these thing so thanks for testing. The instructions say not to handle it until it cools off. I am a gadget guy with 18650 driven devices, and wud have been a sucker for the flextail. Btw your mic works very well. You can move and turn and keep the sound consistent. I was nervous at the start in your kitchen as you were already scratching quite a bit. And i did not zoom into your mustache.

There’s always a reason to test things, it just doesn’t get hot enough consistently when it does it works great but it’s to hit & miss
When I use my thermocell I hang it underneath my seat as close to my ankle height so the fumes float up and create a cloud around me including
my legs
I dig it!
That makes sense.
Absolutely , thermacell works . placed under and as close to center of blood source ( this means you ) is the ideal location . 15' zone will vary with the wind direction , and with enough wind effectiveness will suffer and so will you .

I got you!
1:19 Looks like that Flextail attracted a mosquito. LOL!
It did I hated this experience 🤣🤣🤣
It makes you wonder if you wrapped some breathable tape around two of those pads on a disposable instant hand warmer, if it would repel them
First..wind WILL affect the repeller..don't move it around..second..place the Thermacell on the deck if you don't want your legs chewed up..the vapor travels up...if the mats are black they're used up..Thermacell works!.
