Agree. Gave up using mine. Found it dangerous to handle, unreliable and lost confidence using it. Binned, waste of money. Generally find these type of burners have a short shelf life, soot accumulates on the nozzle. Bought for the odd colony eg swarm that needs treating in the season. Have switched back to my Sublimox - far more reliable and safe to use.What a useless piece of equipment! I bought it with my brand new GasVap 18months ago and it's been playing up from day one. Despite filling it there's barely a flame on it which is totally inadequate to carry out it's purpose of heating the Oxalic. Has anyone else had problems with theirs? What a waste of money. You think they'd have made sure they were reliable! I use the cigarette lighter fuel.
Can these be serviced or repaired?
