![]() Which was more than I wanted to pay, but I convinced myself to see if it would work. The Titanium product I used at the time was $30. It would be a cheaper and possible lighter alternative and appeared to be larger diameter, hence longer burn time. I think it could be however and I want to obtain one to test. I saw another post this week mentioning a youtube video someone made something similar with a small nail gun gas canister (I think) but it was not leak proof. I can tell you that the thing burned longer than I was able to watch it and it was a long time. It is easy to fill and I keep a small bottle of fuel to add when needed. I want to try motor oil and a few different cooking oils also to see how they perform and to round out my doomsday lamp scenario in my head lol. All work good, some better and brighter than others of course. I have tried it with Heet, 94% Meths, plain lamp oil, Tiki torch fuel (with mosquito repellent), and now Paraffin lamp oil. ![]() This is why I went with a fiberglass wick by the way, they don't really burn up. My quest for the original Monster one and this one was to make something that can be used indefinitely and can potentially use different fuels and as mentioned will not leak in my bag. But I wanted something a bit smaller and lighter weight. It works great and is totally leak proof. And eventually made one from made one from a Monster energy can as seen in a pic below. I never found one for sale that would accomplish the no leak criteria. I wanted to post this in case someone else wants to try something similar or spur an idea of something similar. I think they will come back again fyi and more info later on that. Currently sold out but they have before and came back in stock. But I wanted something a bit smaller and lighter weight.įast forward and I saw this "Titanium XL Cash Cache" from Countycom a few months ago and envisioned that it may accomplish what I wanted. I eventually made one from a Monster energy can, see the pic below. This was the end result of my quest to either find or create a small oil lamp that is capable of being sealed up WITH fuel inside and not leak in your bag. ** If you come up with something similar that can contain the fuel without leaking, please share!! I'm always looking for more ideas and improving current ones. Must remember to test tonight.I wanted to post this in case someone else wants to try this or something similar. I don’t know where my little lantern is, but my two big lanterns are here by me now. Second test, still too much wick exposed.Īnd the final test, with windscreen, and just a nubbin of wick exposed. The setup, lids off so you can see the parts. I’ll try to test these inside the lanterns tonight. of course the breeze came up and I had to put up a wind break. It has a very nice, small, wire reinforced wick. ![]() No seal in the lid but it looks like an o-ring will go nicely around the top, under the lid. It does have an o-ring inside the wick holder. The smaller one is tiny, small reservoir. I will put an o-ring in the lid if this works for the lanterns. ![]() It has just a foam thing inside the lid for a seal. The bottle shaped burner is larger and has a quite large wick. ![]() I used charcoal lighter, which is just very fine lamp oil or kerosene. Click to expand.Thanks! You got me up off the recliner for a few minutes anyway. ![]()
