The only reason i didnt end up going for the shorter and slightly larger diameter pot is because it wont be a snug fit with the smallest gas canisters which means rattle....

Yep it was humming, pretty happy with it and the toakes titanium pot comes with a handy mesh bag that holds it all together so the lid doesnt fall off walking etc.

I cut a non-stick pan scouring pad in half for washing and pack that in the pot with my canister, cuts the rattle.

and more flexible! you can use a frypan etc on that cooker, which you can also do on a jetboil...... if you buy their specific expensive frypan....

You can use a normal pan with the jetboil, it has a small pot stand. Defeats the purpose of the jetboil though.
I'm thinking of grabbing one of those cheap titanium cookers from aliexpress.

Just a pussy haha. It doesn't get hot, gets borderline hot but cools rift down as soon as the heats off. The pot seems to cool very quick which means it also heats quick. Can use it as a mug to drink from pretty much straight away

As per my experiences with his Ti cast offs

And hooked

BRS TI stove, it's so small you could loose it in your pocket on a heavy stainless pot took 7 mins to boil 1.5 ltr and in my primus pot with heat exchanger it took 2:20. And for 12 USD it's a safe bet to test, Great for a back up to!
It's got a centre cap vents that make the flame Twist if that makes sense ? A bit of a gimic maybe but it works well, it weighs about as much as a mouse fart, over all a great bit of Chinese kit via aliexpress.

Didn't know about those ones, good find! Got one on the way now.

Just ordered one as well.

I've been using this set up from Jet boil, has been damn awesome, boils fast not affected by wind...great in the pack for midday coffee...gas canister fits inside, so the 1lt cup is all the space taken up...



This unit is to be released Jan 2016, already have my order in, nothing better for the fly in trip, compact lite and durable...




Folds up to this...



From what I've read on the trials it has been superb, can't wait to get mine...
