As of 2015 it seems to have won converts and good news is it's somehow cheaper on US Amazon than Korean stores. Now if only the canisters followed suit or at the very least the TSA revised their policy regarding pressurized flammables on planes.Milo M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14425459497896934581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-58983150026664285282015-08-24T15:00:57.974-07:002015-08-24T15:00:57.974-07:00It sounds like the threads may be stripped.

If it still doesn't go on cleanly, then the threads on your stove are probably stripped.<br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-56232301792598724002015-08-24T10:58:02.787-07:002015-08-24T10:58:02.787-07:00Hey i have a question!

Instead of it easily just being placed on and screwed into place the stove wobbles around without any connection. Any suggestions of why this may be? I've cleaned all the threads to see if that was the problem...didnt helpMikeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341897318474295793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-80236039377754108042013-02-28T11:35:11.438-08:002013-02-28T11:35:11.438-08:00Hi, Bill,

They seem particularly prone to jamming, but it could be how I've rigged them for use with modern canisters.<br /><br />Good practical tips on using a cloth or tarp to catch parts and to not use silicon lubricant on exposed "O" rings because the lubricant may pick up debris.<br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-47586765576527601022013-02-28T11:03:00.593-08:002013-02-28T11:03:00.593-08:00Jim,

I wasn't able to blow it out and my biggest problem was that I couldn't see the jet without a magnifier. I carry a pocket magnifier, but have difficulty holding the jet, a cleaning wire and the magnifier. With this type of situation, it's very easy to drop something. It's best to do this sitting down and working over a cloth or tarp that will catch loose parts. I eventually got the jet clean and made a metal filter that fits inside the canister adapter on the stove. I have also experienced the canister leak problem and, as you say, I just screw the canister back on and leave it. I do use silicone lubricant on O-rings regularly, but I probably won't use any on my canister adapter O-rings, because I think that it will just trap dirt.
