Hi, I'm off to France in couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone has tried one of the flextail tiny repel mozzy repellant.
Also how long does shipping take from flextail as it looks like there from the states.

Just for anyone interested it took 7 working days for delivery and looks a solid piece of kit. Going france next week so hopefully it does the job.

They call it a repellant but it is poison as it kills insects.
I Would be careful inhaling it..
Do they say it is safe?

I don't use Google as I don't like sponsored news.. 🙂
But duck duck go says do not use in a confined space, if it has insecticide in it I personally don't want to be breathing that in.

Bumping an old thread..
Started to get bitten in the garden and flextail keep popping up on my FB feeds, they look ideal for the garden and obviously fishing.
Any one being using one of these, I see there's 3 in their range.
Or have come across an alternative brand??

I've got the light one they do(smallest option) no battery runs off a power pack, got 2 from Ali Express for less than the cost of one in the UK, also got the tabs from same place.
Bern using them for a couple of years and yes they work.

Do they patches only work for 4 hours? Or can you get longer lasting ones

To be honest on my light version I run it on the low setting(green light)in my bivvy/ under my brolly and usually leave it on from dusk to dawn so about 7 hours, not really had any issues with bugs, 1 pad each side.
👍👍

I've just purchased one (evo repeller) directly £57, 2 packs of large mats & free P&P.
It took a week to arrive, and I tried it last night whilst under an open umbrella. I waited until I heard the first mozzie, 10 minutes later I never heard another mozzie. Had it running for 7 hours at which point it was daylight, and the battery indicator was on the last light so will need charging every use.
I'm off to France in September so will see how it works out over the course of the week

I have the Flextail Max Repeller S and struggled with it at first. I was using a thermocell on a gas canister before and was using some cheap pads from Amazon that worked OK with that and were sold under the name ODS.
Those didn't fit the Flextail and one side was so loose it kept sliding out if I moved it. I now have more cheap pads from Amazon but this time branded Ninoclar. Those fit perfectly and I have been leaving them on all night on the green light on the Flextail which is the lower of the two power modes it has.
Outside on the red mode it works well as long as its in sheltered area and not too windy.
I don't get the battery life out of it that they quote and just charge it every day.

Dont bother ive found them useless - also battery doesnt last long and takes ages to charge - gone back to my ever reliable thermacell on old gas bottles.

I spent a bit of time researching these devices - the flextails didn't get great reviews and if memory serves it's due to the temp not being high enough.
The Thermacells are supposed to be the best but as they use gas canisters you can't take them on a plane.
I use a Nitecore which is rechargeable and burns the Thermacell pads - so far it's been good when needed.

Been testing the flextail throughout the summer at home and at a few lakes on the various settings.
Weirdly at home in the garden it made absolutely no difference from being on or off, the mozzi were on me and the actual flextail.
Down the lakes I never got bitten once lol
I tried all 3 settings and at the lake we never got touched but on the strongest setting the battery just lasted the night.
I found the lowest setting ideal for the bivvy and the battery was good for a second night.
The only real negative was you can't charge it and use it at the same time.
