End canister guilt - consolidate with FlipFuel!

THIS IS NOT A PAID ENDORSEMENT! I BOUGHT THIS WITH MY OWN $$$
Stop taking 2 fuel canisters on your backpacking trips, one 1/2 empty, one full (to make sure you don't run out. FlipFuel allows you to merge your canisters, so you can minimize pack weight of fuel.

Awesome, I have a million of these that are like 20% full just collecting dust on my shelf. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks!

That's the situation I was in....don't know if you save a ton of money, as you can buy a number of canisters for what the FlipFuel costs, for me it's more of a guilt thing.

I use a 16oz isobutane canister to fill up the 3.5 oz canisters

[@KurtPapke]

That's the economical thing to do, but gotta be careful not to overfill.

[@pmm1044]

Yes. I use a digital postal scale…add some fuel…weigh…add more…weigh..

@@KurtPapke by filling slowly I have only overfilled once...may 5-6 gms. I have done this maybe dozen times.

@@pmm1044 yeah, a couple of grams is no big deal. I overfilled one by 25 grams and that caused problems.
