Anyone bought / used one of these yet?
Prolite Flip Fuel
Looks a good product; may take a while to get a return on investment but I know my OCD always gets irritated with the 'not quite empty' collection of gas cannisters in my garage. . . .

Do these allow you to make up full cannisters from ones that are a quarter full, for example?

Looks like it yes - you weigh a typical cannister to ascertain 'typical' full weight (to ensure you do not overfill); then using the same size empty or half full cannister top it up with the dregs found in other cannisters, irrespective of size . . .

Works best if the receiving canister is cold, just stick it in the fridge for while

the eBay adaptors are fine - I've been using one for years. What makes a huge difference is;
receiving canister cold ( pop in the freezer for 10mins)
giving canister warm (run under the hot tap for 30secs)
Can't believe what Jag are charging - it's not even as if they had invented this.

Me too,
Been using one from Ali Express for a couple of years, works exactly as it should, I've almost exhausted my supply of partially empty containers now 😂😂😂😂😂
I love it, certainly paid for itself over that time and I only use a small stove and gas canister when doing day trips 👍👍

I hadn't seen these until I saw the Scott Lloyd post earlier and then saw this thread. Great idea and solves an age old issue I've had so will be getting one, but for less than £10 on Amazon, not paying the Jag carp tax for something the camping industry seem to have been using for ages

Jag one does look 'nicer' though lol . . . several on amazon - I'm going to have a day refilling gas bottles / prepping little day session cannisters etc; actually looking forward to it bizarrely!

Don't know if this will help anyone but if you buy the msr gas as a receiver can it has float marks (you drop it in a bucket of water to gauge it) so you know how much is in there once refilled as its important not to overfill

Just weigh an empty can, then weigh a full one.
The difference is the weight of the liquid gas. A bit of primary school maths and your sorted
