Love hate relationship

[Mitch Edwards]

Anyone else love and hate the thermacell? It's awsome when it works but when they don't work you just sit there pushing the button and makin a helluva racket!!! Why does nothing work when you need it most?

I've never had a problem with mine. I turn it on then wait 30 seconds or so then push the button. Never had it not fire up. Might try that.

Done that several times until I realized the little propane bottle was empty.

My first one croaked within a month. I returned it for one that lasted several years of hard use. My current unit is a couple years old and going strong.

Mine blew up in my face (no injury), so I quit using it.

I love no hate at all my Thermacell our bugs in Louisiana last year round only wish we had them 40 years ago when I first started hunting.I have three just in case they take them off the market.Kip

Mine seems to not light in high humidity but that don't make sense if they work in Louisiana? Confused. I finally got mine going tonight. Right before the mosquitos got really bad. Sure wish it would've worked during the horse fly bombardment!

Never had any issues out of mine!

Thermacell was gods gift to Florida hunters.  I just wish it worked on yellow flies!!  

I fire mine up at the car and it warms up on my way into the woods.  It even works on a real slow spot and stalk which is nice.

I wear rhinoskin baselayer garments and facemask. Bugs haven't but me through it yet and no fooling with gadgets. I keep the mask pulled down and paint my face.

I use mine all the time; hunting and just sitting on the front porch in the evening. Have yet to have the first problem with it and it DOES work.
