Thermacell Tip: Mal-Wart sells the same butane bottles for a fraction of the Thermacell price in the ladies hair curler dept.
Iread about thistip a while back and then realizeda major flaw when I was in the checkout line. While you can get the butane bottles for half the cost you cannot get the blue pads. Without the pads the butane is pretty useless. If only there was a substitute or if you could purchase the pads separately.
Like I said, I've never fired mine up, but the guys here that do this regularly claim to run out of butane before pads.
