Has anyone used one of these yet?

Apparently creates a protective "dome" around the device.

Looks interesting and there's quite a lot good reviews..

I got one last summer. Found it to be excellent.

My mate said he struggled to charge it off a normal battery pack but as I mainly fish single nights, it's never been a problem for me.

Not tried the Flextail myself but bought one of these (link below) as it was recommended. Wish I'd have bought a Flextail as it looks more portable. Thermacell

There looks to be a few Chinese copies of these aswell.

I'm thinking of trying one of these knock off jobbies which are probably just the same thing

There was a video on YouTube where they reviewed it they didn't rate it much they didn't think the battery was powerful enough to heat the pad to make it hot enough too melt the tablet.
Unfortunately can't find the video.

I got one early last year dose work keeps them away 100% no smell
Simple to use only trouble is that it only last a few hours so have to charge it up often
So much better than candles an alot more safe

Similar findings to you.

I have it on through the evening to keep them away, then when I head to bed I close the mozzie mesh on my brolly

One thing Inhave experienced is that our Louisiqna mosquitos are totally unaffected by Thermacell.
Hopefully the Flextail would be better, but I believe they use the same active ingredient.

Lifesystems jobbie with integral fan is pretty good - v compact and batteries last way longer than expected; I keep the insert card topped up/doused with mozzie spray which seams to work and is cheaper than refills

Not sure if this will work but you can use code NEW8 for 8% off your first purchase.
