In my time fishing don't think I've ever had trouble with gas canisters. But my latest box of Coleman gas just seem hit and miss. Spells of low pressure then returning to normal.
Tried it on both my stoves Bulin and a Primus and still the same. Can't be both my stoves blocked can it?

Nope. Had exactly the same thing. Couldn't get my normal gas so bought a case of the Coleman ones. Had issues on both my bulin and cadac. 😡

Coleman gas is not as good as Cadac and GoSystem.
Coleman gas is just a butane propane mix, whereas GoSystem is iso-butane, butane and propane, better in low pressure and low temperature.
I also found that because the Coleman gas is not as 'strong' and takes longer to cook or heat water with, canisters run out faster.
A tip to get a more regular burn with Coleman gas is to heat up a small amount of water in a saucepan, then rest the canister in that as you cook or boil your kettle. Not ideal I know.

A better way than the pan of water method is to use a gas can cover from Fox, Trakker etc and then slip one of those tea bag type hand warmers into the hollow at the bottom of the can before you pop the cover on.👍

the latest idea if you have a phone charger battery pack ? is one of theses slipped in the bottom of a gas cover LINKY POO 
Which Coleman gas canisters are we talking about here? The c500 that has like a mountain outline picture on the can?
Ive been using those for about 4-5 years now without a problem. Only got two cans left so if its these and they have changed i want to avoid them.

Yes, Ive had this box since June' my point being it's not a temperature thing. I've now ordered twelve cans of go system from hull angling. And then I'll know if it's the stoves or the gas. But I'm convinced it's the gas, I've taken the primus apart and it's clear. We will see.

One thing i've noticed with my advanta stove and gas cannisters is that the can needs to be screwed on pretty tight.
I believe its just a case of the metal prong bit not quite going far enough into the rubber seal properly, as i was experiencing what i thought was low pressure but just a tweak of the can got it roaring again.

I've never had any issues with the 70/30 Coleman stuff and fish right through the winter. You do have to make sure they are screwed in tight or they will seem weak.

Also had the same issue with my most recent box of Coleman gas....thought it was the stove at first. Some cans in the box work fine, some not at all.....

Same problem. Had 2 boxes early on in the year when Ebay were doing 15% off. First box fine. First two cans out the second box are poor. Had a bit left in the last can of the first box tried that, all fine. I suspect a dodgy batch.

I had some Cadac (I think?) do this a couple of years ago, it was like the pin wasn't being pressed in enough when the stove was screwed on, had to really clamp it down and get it to work, gave up in the end and binned them.
My batch of Coleman this year is alright. Does seem that when unscrewing there is a lot of leakage though which I've never had before. But I was screwing it on real tight.
Anybody found a stove that combats the problem's of the pin not being long enough ? I.e longer pins. I have about 12 cannisters that dont work !
Bullin T4 has a rubber washer that compresses down. Works well with the Coleman cans for me.
I use the Coleman gas C500 tins with no issues at all. I did think had an issue as my Primus Omni Fuel was running a bit low & the hot water trick didn't resolve it, so tried a different stove at home & it was roaring. Obviously means my Primus needs a good service.
I always carry a small Thermos metal flask with me once the clocks go back (or when the daytime temps drop below 10C for several days) purely to hold left over water after making a drink. Firstly it means I can have a drink quickly during the night should I wake up for any reason (or for the first drink of the day), and secondly if it does turn cold overnight & the gas is struggling, I pour about an inch of water into a bait box or pan & stand the gas in that. Much cheaper long term than a USB powered heated cozy or handwarmers in the bottom.

Recently got a bulin after my old Trakker one took 35 minutes to cook 2 burgers last week.
Best thing I've bought in a while.

I've had a couple of dodgy cans, the pin in far enough. I wouldn't encourage this, but I had to put a little stick on top of the pin then screw it up tight and they were fine. Still not ideal and not what you want to do with gas. I now keep a spare can in the motor.
