Nitecore EMR40 1 year later.... still BETTER than thermacell? | bco review |

[@Hondo-kj8hi]

Thanks for all the hard work! Looks like I'm goin' Nitecore. 💥👊🏻💥

Check out the new one! I haven’t tested it yet but I will be shortly!

Guess I needed some confirmation after I already bought it (and the TAC) but nice to see an update after a year. Have had one EMR05 that didn’t get hot enough (pads never turned white) and another that’s kinda fallen apart. Hoping this one’s a better alternative since it looks like the heating systems updated. There’s pads that fit from AliExpress that cost like $5 for 100. Check the size if you test them, some you need to shove two in since they’re half sized. Are they possibly killing me? Maybe, but they work as far as I can tell. These and Thermacells on iso have been great since I live by a marsh and backpack. Just unfortunate it’s poison to fish iirc. Them and the poor bees that fly into the restricted airspace.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I’m not buying from aliexpress for pads I’ll stick to thermacell & nitecore pads

[@casperfogedgommesen]

Nitecore getting it now 👍🏻 Thx

Hell ya man!

I have that home. Tryd last night and saw a few flying around in my place. I got 1 bite in the night. Without I got nearly 5-15 per night every where. Im using this for home. Still testing.

Hell ya! They did just come out with a newer version as well I’ll be testing it shortly!

[@MichaelGoh333]

interestingly enough - I just bought an EMR40 and in less than one day it stopped working and would not charge or turn on. It's been returned for a replacement, but thinking there must be a quality control issue with a lot of things. I have a Flextail Tiny Repeller S and had the similar thing happen (stopped working in < 1 month) but the replacement appears to be working better than the first one I had that barely seemed to heat up - the replacement, you can smell it and it gets much hotter. Thinking overall quality control is struggling so any purchases should be wary and defintely only buy with warranty

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Warranty is key!

[@Adrenaline89Junky]

Yea, I'm returning mine after using it. Warranty doesn't mean a damn thing if this thing doesn't work right off the bat

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Warranty still does as you can get a replacement I’ve had zero issues outside the drop and I used it for months hardcore

[@Adrenaline89Junky]

​​​@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSAI get that, but it's a bad look sending out faulty products, especially when it's not mass produced (small company), meaning a high percentage of duds are in their inventory. It's a horrible business practice. You're not going to succeed with poor quality control

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@Adrenaline89Junky lol not what I said at all I believe you’d be more pissed if there was no warranty and you were stuck with the dud is what I’m saying I do understand business and I agree with you but shit happens that’s why warranty’s are important

[@theshortgolfer8687]

Thanks for the video! Sounds like you had some bad luck there with the fall. Could probably drop it another 100x and wouldn't have broken.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Hard to say honestly it got beat up good might just been the final straw either way for $40 I have zero complaints I love it

Hello from Denmark. Could you make a test to see if any of the cheap noname mats work ? I think the Thermacell and Nitecore and FlexTail mats are pretty expensive...

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I prefer to test pads I know have been tested and safe to use I’m unsure I would trust the no name cheap pads personally, you can test them out but that’s a pass from me

Great video .. thanks! But still you did not mentioned …at full charged… how long does it last??😂

It lasted long enough for any of my hunts, when I hunted spring turkey in Kentucky I just brought a light powerbank in case it died afield as we were hunting literally all day

Don’t buy it, waste of money. It just doesn’t work, nothing like Thermacell.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I used it over thermacell for over a year til I broke it, they definitely work

[@DeimantasJakstas-k9z]

I have Thermacell and I have no complaints about it, apart from the fact that the refills are expensive. I bought a Nitecore EMR40 2 weeks ago, after 5hrs of continuous use, the mat was still blue like it was before I put it in, no sign of smoke like with the Thermacell. Ok, I thought it was defective, the guys at the store sent me another EMR40 today, same problem, can't get rid of mosquitoes, turned on my Thermacell, mosquitoes are gone :)

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@DeimantasJakstas-k9z interesting mines worked lights out no problem til I broke it a year later, I use it over any thermacell I own
