I don't know if the normal Whisperlite is like the Whisperlite Universal but on the Universal the connector block can rotate a bit. I purge mine...
The fuel bottles are universal enough. I switch between Optimus, MSR and Primus bottles with their pumps. The exception to that is MSR's pump...
I never noticed any odor from the Crown 1 gal containers I've bought before and I have a fairly sensitive nose. Perhaps those were bad cans or...
Thanks for your insights on your usage of CLF. The resistance to coking is interesting since I noticed that behavior in regards to the Nova+...
Curiously REI has the Gemini discounted and marked as discontinued and I had wondered why and decided to check if the Gemini was discontinued when...
I wonder if the battery in it is more user replaceable than on the BioLites. The design seems to pack a bit more compactly.
You can add a little bit of anhydrous alcohol (avoid exceeding >10% or it can get too lean for the first attempt) or 91% isopropyl to that...
It reduces the ratio of air (oxygen) that mixes with the fuel. Alcohol as a fuel needs a higher mass flow rate to match the heat output as well....
Likely thermal feedback. I modified a spare jet for many modern stoves. Some of them will readily burn 70-80% alcohol while others struggle with...
I use an Optimus Terra Express HE and a Bulin heat exchanger kettle on a natural gas stove, given the spacing of the flames to the heat exchanger...
A kerosene-naphtha mix would provide an intermediate option that is less likely to clog and easier to start up with. I've found a small amount...
Use a heat exchanger pot/kettle and throttle down your stove as well as using a piece of aluminum flashing plus paper clips to form a pot skirt....
Not sure what brake cleaner is energetically but if I assume it is naphtha/white gas like then it is around 11k BTU per £. Bio-ethanol would be...
Those numbers should be pulled from this report, which in itself has a caveat about diameter mismatch to the coil on page 4....
Resistive heating is more or less close to unity for electrical to thermal conversion efficiency. However the actual efficiency of transferring...
@whiteturbo What are you paying presently for electricity? I made an Excel spreadsheet for doing calculations on BTUs per dollar. Looking at...
I would just give it 1-2 pumps from a full bottle so there's enough pressure to push fuel out and let it heat up before opening the valve fully....
Try using 1-3 pumps at first, let it warm up then open the valve up all the way before adding your additional pumps to the point you feel...
Have you tried to reduce the amount of air pressure you put into the bottle? I found with my Nova+ and Polaris that they can be somewhat sensitive...
That's a neat threaded to MSR fuel line adapter on the Bulin for making it operate off of gas and liquid fuels without too much change over like...
Separate names with a comma.
