Anybody else have this issue? It's pretty new. I hear the "poof" and see the coil light but after a couple of minutes it'll go out.

Never had the issue, and I’ve dropped thermacells in water, left it in rain, etc. Still using the old ones though.

Have you tried a new bottle, or reseating the bottle?

Does anyone use a Theramcell while hunting deer? Does the scent spook them?

If you want to try to save it, there’s YouTube videos that show how they work and all. I went down that rabbit hole trying to repair one last season. She has now been replaced.

At the end of the day you’re troubleshooting a Chinese lighter that costs $20. Id take it back to academy and see if they’ll exchange it, or just buy a new one. Hell the pads/bottle that come in the box with one are almost worth what they charge for the whole thing, and that’s where they’re actually making money.

I own 3, and I recently had that issue with an older one. After some fiddling with it and trying a fresh gas cartridge with no effect, it went in the trash.
