[bowj]

I have had two units break. sent one back last week and within a week I had it sent back fixed (however I haven't tried it yet).
they have a basically no questions asked lifetime warranty from what I understand.
great product!!

I use mine extensively in Turkey season, does a great job on mosquitos

Had mine for about 5 years now without a single issue, does a great job keeping those pests at bay. I use my all the time fishing and moose hunting. I won't use it when I hunt for deer or bear. I know for certain that they will be able to pick up the scent of it.

I bought a couple this year for camping and could not believe how well they worked.

I love my thermocell. Got it from my OODmag subscription. Already bought refills since spring turkey season was murder with bugs. Saved my for sure. Works like a charm..............a bug charm!

Reviving a old thread!
I love the Thermacells, have been using them for years.
I have refilled the butane cylinders many times, no need to install a valve, there is a much easier way.

Pull out the brass nipple, I use nail pullers or side cutters, just don't squeeze too hard as it is brass.
Look down the hole, you will see a check valve. Take a #6 or #8 self tapping screw and screw it in the check valve a few threads. Pull out the screw and check valve with one good pull.
Re-install brass nipple and voila, refillable for pennies!
You may need to cut a notch in the Butane can so the liquid will flow, lots of videos on YouTube, that's where I learnt it.

I have aways had good luck with the coils. Put one near you and one up wind and I have never had a problem. I have also taken my broken coils and inserted them in the Thermacell with good results. But to be honest, at that point why not just burn a coil? Burning the coils smells more, so if not hunting I find the tin coil holders to work well. I have two Bug Kits, each contain Mosquito Shield 30% DEET, two Thermacells, two tin coil holders and refills for both. I haven't been bugged by bugs in years!
The key is UPWIND!

I've refilled a few of the butane cartridges. I also marked and left them for a week just to see if they leaked or not. Butane is quite volatile so if you attempt this do so with extreme caution.

Thermacell makes great products. I also have the heated insoles and they saved my feet last deer season. A+

I'd leave my gun at home before I'd leave my thermacell behind!!!

Hunt like a cave man. Tackle it with your bare hands and a heavy stick.
