New Piece of Lightweight Gear - Primos Micron Lantern

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 05 08, 2014 •  [Post 1]

Ordered one of these a few days ago. One of my favorite gearhead buddies (Dotman), picked one up and gave it great reviews. It's very lightweight so perfect for backcountry hunts and other applications as well. Here's the Primos.com link for the product, and, a you tube review. I believe you can run it off most of the backcountry fuel cannisters (i.e., the ones you'd use with a Jet Boil Zip system) with the exception of Coleman propane.... for those, I understand you need an adaptor. Thanks for the correction Dotman ;)..

super neat!! you gonna run a tank of fuel from beginning to end to see what times you are getting?

me, i hate carrying extra fuel. i do the jetboil gamble and go for it. usually i start off with one brand new canister..and hope for the best.

Ya, I'm gonna play around with it and see how many hours/burns I can get out of one of the small cannisters. I don't want to have to connect it to my primary jet boil cannister each time I wish to use it so will probably just carry one small gas cannister just for the lantern.
