Please tell me why pulling off the catalyst is a bad thing. seems like an easy way to fill it. it's a separate peace that is designed to be removed Easily without damaging anything.

Broken Gamer, I would guess that the non-response from PimpMyReel is answer enough. Considering the "Jon-e" catalytic hand warmer, produced for over 25 years, was designed to be filled by removing the catalyst assembly, it makes no sense, to me, to modify the device in this way. Also, after re-watching this video, I have some additional thoughts. 1) Why doesn't PimpMyReel show us how easy it is to drill the hole in the heater? (might be more difficult than expected) 2) At 4:05 he says "make sure to use a rubber, heat resistant / fire resistant, plug, not silicone or plastic, they don't like that. You don't want this thing leaking in your pocket and going off". This statement alone should provide enough evidence of why this is not a good idea.

@@PH_INFO_101 Yeah it just doesn't make sense they pop off incredibly easy. Seems like a great way to overcomplicate a simple device that has been made unchanged for a 100 years

The point in adding the fill point is so that you can top up without stopping the chemical heat reaction and trying to light /start again in a outside windy cold location where not possible

Do you have image of the original valve, I wonder if the same valve can be sourced but can't find and detail image of it to see how it works.

Do you use carbon felt in the reservoir and/or replace the catalyst with platnium fireplace embers?

The issue here is the catalyst on the star handwarmer is open and unprotected, if you dont pinch it on the sides where the metal is and remove it that way, but rather pinch the catalyst it will wear out quickly due to grinding/breaking the glass fibers repeatedly. id not recommend this hack but rather just remove the catalyst proper and careful. another ill designed thing from china who would've guessed?
