✅ About this video:
In today's video tutorial, we demonstrate the step-by-step process of converting the Thermacell Backpacker 2.0 mosquito and black fly repellent device to run on a 1lb propane tank. This modification enables the device to run for extended periods of time, eliminating the need for frequent replacement of butane canisters. We also compare the performance and cost-effectiveness of using a propane tank versus traditional butane canisters. This Thermacell Backpacker hack is a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy extended trips without worrying about not being protected from mosquitoes and black flies.

I bought a thermacell thing in July too, I'm Definitely gonna get that adapter thing for it, can we buy the pads separate too?🤔

@TheNorthwoodsRVLife 2 года назад

This hack will only work for the Backpacker thermacell device and yes can buy just the pads separate. Running on propane will more thna likely pay for the thermacell backpacker device on only a camping trip or two. All links are in the description to a all the products in the video. Thanks for watching

@north4961 13 дней назад

Hi, thanks for your video👍 I purchased - but my Thermacell pads don’t turn white? Is that normal? Thanks in advance.

@ItsAboutTimeNow 2 года назад

Great hack!!! We hate mosquitoes

@jimmynoname4089 Год назад

I would assume the propane burns differently, different temperatures, and air mixture. Does it impact the performance and does it use the pads faster?

@TheNorthwoodsRVLife Год назад

I have actually not had any noticeable performance issues. The pads still last the rated 4+ hours. The only noticeable difference is I only used a single 1lb propane take per Therrmacell for the entire 2022 camping season. I have two of the Gen2 Backpackers, and they both have worked great with this conversion. Others have had issues with different brand adapters not wanting to light or stay lit, but I have had none of those issues with the adapter in the video. There is a link in the description of the exact adapter I used. Hope this was useful and thanks for watching!

@Guapogiboy 11 месяцев назад

Do you have a hack for the scent pads? Those are expensive too. Can you buy just scent pads on its own? That's cool I didn't know they had such a device.

@TheNorthwoodsRVLife 11 месяцев назад

I know a few guys have tried spraying them with pyrethrin spray with mixed results. And YES you can buy just the pads, Thermacell Refill Pads: amzn.to/2Wby9Um

@BadgerNNN 11 месяцев назад

Permethrin SFR (36.8% mixture), a few drops on the used pads. The small propane bottles for other models can be refilled to after removing the check valve in them.

@sixtysecondbreak6879 2 года назад

The instructions say that the Backpacker does not work with 100% propane. Do you find it to work the same with propane as it does with camp fuel gas? thanks!

@MittyNuke1 2 года назад

I’ve been using this hack as well as refilling camp fuel cans with butane and it seems like no matter what I use for fuel, my thermacell runs for a few minutes and then goes out. I don’t think it’s a fuel issue but I’m wondering if you or anyone else has issues with the thermacell going out? Ty!

@JohnSmith-jv1zg 2 года назад

I’m having same problem got a replacement themocell same thing when I use with 1lb propane will try a another adapter seems to be working with the propane/ butane mix…

@MittyNuke1 2 года назад

@@JohnSmith-jv1zg I ended up taking my thermacell apart because I realized it was going out even using a normal pre filled camp fuel canister. If I remember correctly there are two tiny filters in the fuel line, and I removed one of them and replaced it with a tiny bit of stuffed cotton from the top of a q-tip and it’s been working since then. I think commercial propane fuel isn’t as clean as camp fuel or the thermacell butane cartridges so it’s possible it could clog the tiny orifices in the thermacell.

@leeramsay3497 2 года назад

Hi buddy, thanks for this, I was researching exactly this kind of mod and couldn’t find anything else online! I know on the thermacell website they specifically tell you not to use propane only fuel. I assume this is because of the value in doing it with a 1lb propane tank. Can you confirm you’ve had no issues with your thermacell since you put this video up? Still works just fine?

@TheNorthwoodsRVLife 2 года назад

Yes it has worked great and I love it so much I bought a second one. Thanks for watching and happy camping.

@jaredbaratono897 Год назад

Propane has 3-4 times the vapor pressure of butane, per contained volume. Why we use it up north in the cold. I would assume Thermocell warns against propane for liability reasons, and also that the internal pressure regulator probably/possibly could wear itself out faster. A lot of people comment on how their T-Cell won’t stay lit when burning on these adapters. It is simply too small of a burner, overwhelmed by too much gas pressure for the oxygen that it can get.

@ashley-joa.p.3159 Год назад

@jaredbaratono897 is there anything that can be done to fix that problem ? Would trying a different adapter possibly allow a different regulatory flow?

@jaredbaratono897 Год назад

@@ashley-joa.p.3159 I don’t know of one, but I am know it’s possible. Or just burn out a Thermacell every couple years, because to adapt it down, it would cost more than the replacement.

@chapter4travels Месяц назад

does pure propane work at high altitudes, 10,000 feet or more? Regular butane mix will not work above 7000 feet.
