I see this as a great emergency prep Item at home since you can fill with different fuels to keep going. The canister is way too heavy to make sense for backpacking.
Just be sure to only fill with butane or a mix but never pure propane. Do not try to make your own mix. It is heavier but I use it as a reservoir for almost empty butane containers.

I didn't even consider refilling these little butane tanks like you can propane. Thats why I went down the propane gas path, years ago! I have an OLD butane backpacking lantern. It's butane Camping GAZ tanks (European style), were made to punch a hole in the top of the gas canister. The tank stayed attached until it was empty. The gas would always eventually leak out of the tank. These were before the threaded Lindel Valves came out. By that time I was using propane. I still have the old lantern, and have considered replacing the valve connection to be used with modern tanks! Not sure how hard that may be? But, shouldn't be hard if I can find the propare connection.
Thank you for watching. Does your old stove have a treaded connection? The eu version of Amazon has connections for the different thread types in various areas of Europe.
This is a very interesting concept. Saves tons of wasted leftover fuel which might be thrown away. Who would want to carry an almost empty fuel can out on a hike right?
This tank as i understand it is for refilling butane and not propane. But what about blend? Like a (BUT)80-20 (PROP) blend? Also love that this little tank has a little tripod mount on the bottom, i have an old tripod that has long legs and that is low to the ground, perfect for this i suppose, no tipping cans and rolling cans for me anymore! Also, thanks for the informative and educational video. I feel like that many people disregard and do not approach gas tanks with the right safety/etiquette, which can lead to rather nasty incidents.
As long as the blend comes from a commercial source (from another butane tank with a small amount of propane), should be fine. I do not recommend that anybody ever try to formulate their own blends of butane and propane. Doing so is not safe. Thank you for watching the video, and we appreciate your comments and questions.
@@Linus007 I understand what you are getting at, but refilling a "single use" canister is no big deal. They are safe and they are made for repeated use, in the sense they can be screwed on and of many many times. Refilling such a canister a few times, to the same fill level, with same butane/propane mix is completely uneventful, even if its not recommended. Honestly, Id be much more worried filling straight propane (the big green one) in the little campingmoon canister, unless expressively permitted. Vapor pressure of propane is much higher than butane or the usual 70/30 butane/propane camping canister mixes.
@@clickbait2000 Thank you for your comments. We cannot vouch for your process, but we do understand other people’s refill needs. The product that we found fills a unique niche.
@kelvie855 I've done this routinely for years without issue. Refilling with pre blended Isopro type fuels and also blending my own using can style N-butane and standard 1lb LP bottles. Including with this TC-35 tank. When blending your own it's just a matter of measuring your fuel weights and not exceeding a 70%/30% (N-but/LP) ratio. All season commercial fuel is typically 70% I-butane/equivalent and 30% LP. I-butane has a lower vapor pressure than N-butane and will perform better in colder weather. As such, DIY 70/30 N-butane/LP blend refills will not perform as well as an all season fuel, but is still highly effective at increasing performance and extending the useable temperature range over a 100% N-butane refill.

Neat, but damn heavy for the gram counters. Butane is a VERY safe fuel and not a high pressure fuel like propane.

Feel free to correct me, please.
@@mikemorgan5015 great comment and you are correct. We purchased this container and use it for long term use. We wanted a sturdy UNEF lindal valve. We are not using it in our backpack journeys.

The first time we filled this canister was from a lighter refill canister that was laying on the stairs at my kid’s apartment complex.
Yes but the reason for Propane is that Butane boils at -1 degree C compared to Propane at -42 C. Basically Butane stops working (stops being a gas) if the temps are below freezing. Propane is at 4 times the pressure of Butane so needs the thicker stronger heavier canisters.
So, you transfer the contents of a throw-away butane canister to a heavier reusable canister -- and then throw away the first canister. I'm having a problem seeing the advantage.
@@Sirrehpotsirch you can fill it from much larger butane canisters. Another option is to fill it from portable stove canisters that are much less expensive. This type of heavier tank is used for the small camping stoves that screw directly on top of the butane canister . The final option is to consolidate multiple partially filled tank canisters into this one. The point is that this destination canister is much stronger.
The tank is sold as a refillable butane canister. Filling it with 100% propane would be extremely dangerous. I have filled this canister with commercially available butane sources, such as butane, isobutane, or the butane blends. The pressure for propane is much higher than the pressure for butane. At room temperature butane is around 200 kPa. At room temperature propane is around 850 kPa.

Thanks for sharing the video. In my case, I'm trying to find a more practical and cost-effective way to carry fuel for backpacking. It seems like the solution is to get the refillable butane canister and buy the butane gas to refill it.

What would you recommend?@@Linus007
@@jakeybry9983 , For now, we are using restaurant-type butane canisters that are very inexpensive. We transfer the butane to the refillable tank shown here or use a converter to go from the bayonet connection to the lindal valve connection. We keep the small 50-gram (capacity) propane tanks on hand for cold weather and use a converter to get to the lindal valve connection. The extra 304 grams (fuel plus tank) is worth it in case the butane is not flowing. If we can ever find a large tank of butane or a refilled in bulk, we will make a video. We searched for months and the only source here in North America seems to be welding shops.
The mayor issue is that the metap for the disposable ones is made cheaper for one use. Is not intended for the strees of pressure up and down several times. Eventually, if you refill them a couple of times, it could blow up. Definitelt they want you to keep buying the replacement. Ia like the pri ter cartridges. But at the same time. Be hones. How many ppl you see online that they should be even driving a car. Imagine those ppl trying to reaload it and leaking gas everywhere with kids and stuff....

For now, we are using restaurant-type butane canisters that are very inexpensive. We transfer the butane to the refillable tank shown here or use a converter to go from the bayonet connection to the lindal valve connection.
We keep the small 50-gram (capacity) propane tanks on hand for cold weather and use a converter to get to the lindal valve connection. The extra 304 grams (fuel plus tank) is worth it in case the butane is not flowing.
If we can ever find a large tank of butane or a refilled in bulk, we will make a video. We searched for months and the only source here in North America seems to be welding shops.
It's heavy yet it's made out off aluminum. Drop that thing and it'll crack unlike the one made of steel.
@@LeftOverMacNCheese Definitely be sure not to drop any gas canisters.
I wonder if they have a liner inside of it?
Excellent info. Thanks
@@richardsierakowski1623 we are glad that it helped.
Not refillable because we as the supplier want you to buy more of our product
Interesting but true.
The mayor issue is that the metap for the disposable ones is made cheaper for one use. Is not intended for the strees of pressure up and down several times. Eventually, if you refill them a couple of times, it could blow up. Definitelt they want you to keep buying the replacement. Ia like the pri ter cartridges. But at the same time. Be hones. How many ppl you see online that they should be even driving a car. Imagine those ppl trying to reaload it and leaking gas everywhere with kids and stuff....
Aluminium. 😅😅😅
Good video, btw.
@@manumanbr thank you.
tc 35 can refilled with 1lb propane? how many g can be filled with 1lb propane? I heard butane and 1lb propane is different weight of gas.
@@kin21223 no, do not use propane.
@@Linus007 oh why? i see on the amazon website that can use z15 and z22 adapter for 1lb propane gas.
I wante to buy thing fir month but still not in stock at amazon like forever
It is taking a long time, but once you see them, pounce on it.
You can use one of the smaller refillable propane tanks:
Propane Tank:
Flame King 1/4-lb Empty Refillable Propane Cylinder Tank - Reusable & Transportable - Safe and Legal Refill Option - UL1769 Listed Valve: amzn.to/40F1GC3
Flame King Refillable Propane Cylinder and Refill Kit: amzn.to/3ET9CGv
@@Linus007 As of 7/17/24 they are back in stock on amazon. I already ordered a couple. Far from cheap.
I can't find it anywhere to buy
We have a link in the video description. Amazon has them in stock.
@@Linus007 the canister in not available, even on the original site of the product campingmoon. It's not available on ali express either.
@@hohoxa currently they have four in stock. a.co/d/gRIlbA0
@@Linus007interesting. They have 28 tanks but no 35. Wonder if they will come back in stock
@@ssing7113 I see the same thing. The 28 model is freely available, but not the 35 model. I suspect that they had a niche product that is no longer available. I have the 28 model tank and I can produce a video of it in a few weeks.
Currently almost $60 on Amazon.... lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@paulellsworth7679 wow! Either they are that popular or inflation as increased. Thank you for watching.
$35 and more EMPTY 🙄
Yeah
NO 😂
Thanks for your comment. It is refillable and made to last. This is why others may like it.
