I didn't know that was a thing. Never thought to refill fuel cartridges either.

I started refilling a couple of years ago...
You can actually buy the mats from China for pretty darn cheap. They are called ARS Mats and you get 60 of them on Ebay for about $10. They fit fine in a Thermacell.

Wow, heck yeah thanks for the link
To those mats that just made my turkey season more enjoyable. That kinda stuff pisses me off how cheap they get in in china and how much they gouge the consumer. I understand profit margin but there's no reason to charge me 5x the price.

You think they hunt in China much? They ain't selling it in China...they are making it there and selling it to Americans for pennies on the dollar...because their workforce is so large and industry is not regulated like here.
I agree about the 5x price...once this stuff is deemed ok we need the government oversight/cost to back off..that's one thing driving the cost up. I mean does China have FDA inspectors from the US there?

Yea had an old timer show me how couple years back. works great and really cheap. Also reactivate my own pads with permethrin from the feed store.

Never knew you could. Thanks for the tip
I use a thermacell often but it has to be very bad for your health to be inhaling burning insecticide

MEAUXJEAUX because a $9 dollar bottle of premethrin will reactivate 1000 + pads only take a few drops.

Ha, I am talking about the Americans that own thermacell.

quote:i understand that. But you also have to add in the blue dye to know when to change out the pads. I also know that Premethrin is not the active ingredient that Thermacell uses.

Actually it is the active ingredient and has been known for a few years now it's no secret. And about 10 drops of food coloring dies the entire jug. Try throwing shade somewhere else.

not at all what i'm doing. I head somewhere that there was a different ingredient. Started with an A.
Also said that Permiferin had larger molecules and was harder to get it to vaporize. You mix yours with distilled water?
