Thermacell pads/butane cartridges... What say you?

[KYFrid]

Has anyone tried what the guy in the video did with the mats? Just curious if it actually works.

At least one extra cartridge and 3 pads for each cartridge. They don't weigh anything and will certainly make the hunt more enjoyable.

I just purchased my first Thermacell unit.

I learned about the video from someone who does both his own butane and mats, and he claims the mats work better than factory...  I believe he makes a bit stronger mix than discussed on the youtube video...   I have no idea about the safety profile of a stronger mixture though.

I cut the mats in half and refill my butane cartridges. Talked to Josh Schwable (owner of company) about selling me bulk mats. He didn't seem too interested and offered them at $1 per mat. I graciously declined.

I've installed valves from refillable butane lighters that I cut down and epoxied into a hole that I drilled into the base of the ThermaCell cartridge.  It works great! 

There is a company in Thailand that makes odorless mosquito mats for electric repellent units that fit in ThermaCell called ARS MAT12.  They also work great, last longer than the ThermaCell mats, and are less expensive than ThermaCell's.  ARS MAT 12 are available at the big online auction site or Amazon.

Heck, I ran one for an entire butane bottle once because I lost the pads...0 skeeters on me.  I wouldn't stress too much

Didn't know you could 'refill' them.

I don't carry the extra gear and spray down with bug spray real good. I keep my turkey clothes away from my deer clothes. Also the fumes of the therma cell have made me quite nauseous in the past. I'm an iron gut kinda guy, don't know why they've made me sick.
