Product report from John Nail please


Looked through French's pics and saw you had the little OFF bug dope things on your belt...  so does it work as they say... or...

I've started to buy a Thermacell numerous times and never have... I know they are the Cadillac, but I'm on a Yugo budget wink

saw those OFF on TV the other night and thought hummmmmm...

And I noticed he had a cheap knockoff of a bug wig on his head too. I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. You may hear from my patent attorney.evileye

Jon, I have one of the old style Off clipons. They do seem to work. They are not cheap to operate however.

Jon, it works, but it"s not even close to a thermacell. Save your money

Ah... looks like I'll have to break down and get the thermacell... just curious.... do you only use their little butane things or do you buy some other brand?

Hey Jon. The Thermacell is the real deal, but with some limatations. The wind can cut it's effectiveness but if the wind is strong enough, no skeeters anyway. It works best when it's real still out and you are too.

I always buy the big refill packs for about $20.00. After a while you will have more pads than butane. If you can find the Conair butanes in the womens section of the store it's a good thing to get. They are real hard to find though.

I like the clipons because there's no flame involved. Last year hunting when it was so dry, I would have been afraid to use the thermacell.

I truely dislike skeeters.

Oh yea. I noticed that they now carry therma refills that come in earth scent. They've always said that the things have no scent. If that's so then why come out with a earth scentconfuse What are they trying to mask if there's no smellevileye

 I buy the conair refills for women's travel hair curlers. Same thing. If you buy the refills from thermacell, you always end up with more "wafers" than you have butane. Being somewhat shifty, I've tried to refill them with cigarette  lighter tanks, but there is a valve in them that prevents that. A full season's squirrel hunting costs me about $30, but it really works, is is well worth it. The off clip on has a little fan in it that makes a whine noise.

Maybe Dennis can make a device to refill the tanks?

Shoot... as much as you chase those squirrels that would be a bargain to keep the blood sucking savages off of you...

Do you all use the holster that's available... and where do you attach the dog gone thing...

Yes, I have the holster and strap it to my side quiver. I find it works well no matter if I'm oozing along or not.
