I've heard the same thing, but mine has to be at least ten years old now and still works great. I even stepped on the cup once and had to bend it back into shape.I think they discontinued them because the welds aren't very durable.
a Toaks Ti cup and BRS stove works just as well and is 3x cheaper
There’s certainly lighter options, but I tried a number of different cups and stoves and never found anything that boiled faster or more efficiently than a JB. Not saying it can’t be done, just never had that experience myself.a Toaks Ti cup and BRS stove works just as well and is 3x cheaper
I have had one since they were first introduced. I have used it a lot. It has performed below 0 degrees and as high as 11,000 ft (keeping the fuel canister warmish inside a sleeping bag). It takes longer to melt snow than with a MSR liquid fuel stove but no fiddle factor, priming, etc. At 8.5 ounces (less fuel) its a keeper. Glad you found one.I scored and found one for sale on a site called Bonanza used but in incredibly good shape. I used to watch for this thing all the time on here. Super stoked to finally lasso this unicorn. Cant believe Jetboil discontinued them in the first place.
