One amazing thing about this: Filling from the disposable butane cylinder: It works! I just got one of these and struggled to fill it through the adapter/valve thing I already had. The manual says you can just push the disposable cylinder probe into the refillable cylinder valve... (how many products have claimed this before?!!??) and it worked instantly! I could hear the butane flowing in there, there wasn't any leakage I could see, or enough to care about. I got the 35 gr into a cold cylinder easily. I have been fooling around with things like this for YEARS, basically b/c I buy the tall disposable Butane cans by the case and it's so much cheaper, and also it's sitting around. Frankly by this time a number of camp stoves that work from the disposable tall cylinders (I don't have a name for them. They're all from Korea, can we say "Korean Cylinders"? "Iwatani type"? ) that I don't NEED to go this path any more, but some of the miniature camping type burners are so cute, little Titanium things! And of course they have accumulated. I find there are situations where you want a little stove, but just for a few minutes! So I would say these little machined Butane bottles are a dream product. Now what do I do with all the stuff I already accumulated?
We are pleased that you enjoy this butane tank. I noticed that as well with the refill capability. I found that those butane refills work well with this tank in addition to using an adapter with the butane stove tank that you are talking about.
Awesome idea, they need to make titanium ultralight versions of this.
That would be nice.
This tank as i understand it is for refilling butane and not propane. But what about blend? Like a (BUT)80-20 (PROP) blend?
Also love that this little tank has a little tripod mount on the bottom, i have an old tripod that has long legs and that is low to the ground, perfect for this i suppose, no tipping cans and rolling cans for me anymore!
Also, thanks for the informative and educational video. I feel like that many people disregard and do not approach gas tanks with the right safety/etiquette, which can lead to rather nasty incidents.
As long as the blend comes from a commercial source (from another butane tank with a small amount of propane), should be fine. I do not recommend that anybody ever try to formulate their own blends of butane and propane. Doing so is not safe. Thank you for watching the video, and we appreciate your comments and questions.
@@Linus007 I understand what you are getting at, but refilling a "single use" canister is no big deal. They are safe and they are made for repeated use, in the sense they can be screwed on and of many many times. Refilling such a canister a few times, to the same fill level, with same butane/propane mix is completely uneventful, even if its not recommended. Honestly, Id be much more worried filling straight propane (the big green one) in the little campingmoon canister, unless expressively permitted. Vapor pressure of propane is much higher than butane or the usual 70/30 butane/propane camping canister mixes.
@@clickbait4820 Thank you for your comments. We cannot vouch for your process, but we do understand other people’s refill needs. The product that we found fills a unique niche.
@kelvie855 I've done this routinely for years without issue. Refilling with pre blended Isopro type fuels and also blending my own using can style N-butane and standard 1lb LP bottles. Including with this TC-35 tank. When blending your own it's just a matter of measuring your fuel weights and not exceeding a 70%/30% (N-but/LP) ratio.
All season commercial fuel is typically 70% I-butane/equivalent and 30% LP. I-butane has a lower vapor pressure than N-butane and will perform better in colder weather. As such, DIY 70/30 N-butane/LP blend refills will not perform as well as an all season fuel, but is still highly effective at increasing performance and extending the useable temperature range over a 100% N-butane refill.
Please note as of 2/2/24 these cylinders are unavailable. Pity, i was going to buy one. Will just keep checking. I personally refill wit GASONE isobutane cylinders. They can be had for 2$ a can in bulk. Not a bad deal. I have 14 of the refillable flameking propane bottles. The 16.4 bottles. I dont like the little beer bottles. EDIT: note, i live off grid so i use propane heat often, propane grills and stoves. The butane appliances are much better for smaller applications. I use a single full size burner butane stove for the old Iron skillet for fish, and for cauldron cooking. I really want a refillable canister.
its a fly by night chinese company, what can you expect
@@Tism_me_timbersI expect one to be available when I want one. I bought a 5g by mistake, thinking it's the big one. Very well made. But too small.
They sold out really quickly. Months ago.
Perhaps there's an issue with the design, so they discontinued it.
Confirmed that they are not available. No issues on our end with the design. Perhaps it did not sell well due to capacity and weight?
Here are some alternatives:

CampingMoon is not a fly by night company.
They are no longer being produced because the cost of production for such a large single piece tank is simply too high and the profit margin is almost nonexistant. The small number that were available in the US through Amazon was just a single shipment Campingmoon shipped by my request. Those were the last they still had left in their warehouse after the last production run.
I do like the idea of a tripod mount on the bottom so I can place a gas lantern up in the air on a tripod. I don't like the idea of a 1 lb fuel canister to take backpacking.
The tripod option is nice. I do think they are a little heavy, but safe. They are selling smaller versions for lighter carry. Check out our other video on backpack, portable propane. We came up with a way to carry a very small propane tank with a butane backpack stove.
Here is that video. It took us months to get to this position to be able to use propane at butane pressures. We came up with a very special regulator. You might enjoy this video.

I wante to buy thing fir month but still not in stock at amazon like forever
It is taking a long time, but once you see them, pounce on it.
You can use one of the smaller refillable propane tanks:
Propane Tank:
Flame King 1/4-lb Empty Refillable Propane Cylinder Tank - Reusable & Transportable - Safe and Legal Refill Option - UL1769 Listed Valve: amzn.to/40F1GC3
Flame King Refillable Propane Cylinder and Refill Kit: amzn.to/3ET9CGv
Are you able to use the refillable butane canister and refill it with propane instead of butane?
The tank is sold as a refillable butane canister. Filling it with 100% propane would be extremely dangerous. I have filled this canister with commercially available butane sources, such as butane, isobutane, or the butane blends.
The pressure for propane is much higher than the pressure for butane. At room temperature butane is around 200 kPa. At room temperature propane is around 850 kPa.
In the video, a refillable propane tank from flame king was shown. you can purchase the small refillable propane tanks for less than the butane tank that was shown in the video. That is what I would recommend you look at for a potential solution. Listings of those products in the descriptions, so that you can easily find them if you want them.
Good to know! Thanks for the info!@@Linus007
I am so glad that you asked. Initially, I had the same questions, and that is why I put these videos out there. This allows all of you to learn from some of my experiences. This video might help show the size of the propane tank that you might be looking for in the future. czcams.com/video/leCJq2G4qR8/video.htmlsi=_oSWTgOzeLOPPCgx
Thanks for sharing the video. In my case, I'm trying to find a more practical and cost-effective way to carry fuel for backpacking. It seems like the solution is to get the refillable butane canister and buy the butane gas to refill it. If that is the way I should go do you know any way of getting larger amounts of butane (like a large propane tank) so I don't have to keep buying the gas canisters to refill it? Alternatively, I am wondering if it would work or be safe to use the small propane tanks instead with an adapter to a backpacking stove since propane is more widely available. What would you recommend?@@Linus007

For now, we are using restaurant-type butane canisters that are very inexpensive. We transfer the butane to the refillable tank shown here or use a converter to go from the bayonet connection to the lindal valve connection.
We keep the small 50-gram (capacity) propane tanks on hand for cold weather and use a converter to get to the lindal valve connection. The extra 304 grams (fuel plus tank) is worth it in case the butane is not flowing.
If we can ever find a large tank of butane or a refilled in bulk, we will make a video. We searched for months and the only source here in North America seems to be welding shops.
I can't find it anywhere to buy
We have a link in the video description. Amazon has them in stock.
@@Linus007 the canister in not available, even on the original site of the product campingmoon. It's not available on ali express either.
@@hohoxa currently they have four in stock. a.co/d/gRIlbA0
@@Linus007interesting. They have 28 tanks but no 35. Wonder if they will come back in stock
@@ssing7113 I see the same thing. The 28 model is freely available, but not the 35 model. I suspect that they had a niche product that is no longer available. I have the 28 model tank and I can produce a video of it in a few weeks.
Not refillable because we as the supplier want you to buy more of our product
Interesting but true.
The mayor issue is that the metap for the disposable ones is made cheaper for one use. Is not intended for the strees of pressure up and down several times. Eventually, if you refill them a couple of times, it could blow up. Definitelt they want you to keep buying the replacement. Ia like the pri ter cartridges. But at the same time. Be hones. How many ppl you see online that they should be even driving a car. Imagine those ppl trying to reaload it and leaking gas everywhere with kids and stuff....
$35 and more EMPTY 🙄
Yeah
NO 😂
Thanks for your comment. It is refillable and made to last. This is why others may like it.
