Title: Thermacell pouch
Post by: g8rvet on February 13, 2024, 08:19:08 PM
Anyone made one that can attach to vest and stay lit while walking?  Would like to have one that I could secure it in while still warm or even while staying lit.

This does it all.  Holds refills.  Top has a cut out to see if it's burning.  Back is open to allow air flow.  I've been running it for years.  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240214/49c5ad1d7079e5c1ecd63460f267320c.jpg)

X2 on this. I have the newer version of this and it holds refills and has a clip on the back to attach it pretty much anywhere

Does the new ones have the tether to attach around anything?   I attach mine to my vest, during deer season it straps to my climber,  turkey season sometimes calls for 2 at 1x.

I dont refill my butane.   But I buy them on Amazon for a conair curling iron.  Same thing. Most times cheaper.

I have a similar holster, but it's camo and has a clip in the back.  Can't remember where or when I got it, probably 10 years ago.  It works well enough, though it came unclipped one day last year when I was taking my shotgul sling off my shoulder.

Far as refills go, I take a refillable disposable lighter, then cut the valve out of the bottom & grind it to 1/4" diameter.  Next, I drill a 1/4 inch hole in the center of the bottom of a spent ThermaCell cartridge, then epoxy the valve in the bottom.  Once the epoxy sets, I can refill cartridges with bulk butane cans for recharging refillable lighters.  I haven't bought butane refills for my ThermaCell in 5+ years.  Insecticide mats can be bought a couple dozen at a time off eBay.

I used a gift card and points and have the new version on the way.  Looks simple enough to attach.  Not sure if I will trust the clip, but I will play around with it.  May sew it to vest somehow.   

Thanks.

Also. Amazon has the original refills plus pads (the 120 hour version) for half the normal price (25.99 instead of 49.99)
