It's just that toakes 750ml pot and brs25 titanium burner from the screenshot I posted. 110g gas canister and the pot stabilizer. Guessing your minimo would have come with them.Quote:

will give it a go
This actually surprised me, jetboil was slightly quicker to boil two cups of water.
And @LOC, correction is 100g not 110.
One thing I did read is sometimes the arms on these things melt and distort with weight, can see why. Time will tell thoughhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3c27c1cf13.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...23a6569662.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...873477238c.jpg

have a set ordered. i can see what you mean re heat. wowsers. at $17 USD with free shipping you wouldn't feel too bad about tossing it away after a trip, as long as it didn't melt part way through...
I'm pretty sure much like most things if you look after it should be fine. Just keep the load balanced.Quote:

one of the three arms on this titanium jobbie doesn't lock firmly due to a loose rivet. probably not a major but it shows marginal quality control
Yeah I can imagine for the price and the way they pump them out they wouldn't look over them too hard.Quote:

will probably do so, but in the meantime i'm testing out how the file a dispute option with aliexpress goes.
Hopefully they'll just send you a freebieQuote:

Common problem w many rivet constructed items.
Or replace w a small bolt n nylon nut
I've had to repair many camp chairs n tables this way
Nyloc not nylon. Sheesh
