Jake out here getting west nile to test a product.....what a trooper! 😅
We do what we have to to find out if the performance works or not… got more of these coming trying to find the perfect hunting mosquito repellent 🤣🤣
Yesssirrrr 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Not all heroes wear capes lol. Good video
Right! Thank you!
@@C42WatChe42C And not all capes wear heroes...
I have the Thermacell backpacker model, love that thing! It's glitchy, will sometimes shut off and you don't realize it but overall it's worked well for years and it is extremely effective. We put it on the ground between our chairs and it's great.
That one I get asked to test all the time might just have to do it!
Can't go wrong with good ol reliable.. I had high hopes for the flex tail but I figured it would fail.. Great video and thanks for the dedication you put into these videos
You betcha! We got more units to test they came in today I’ll be filming on them tomorrow!
Great idea for a video and very helpful. I will be taking my thermocell in the blind this early season.
I got some other options arriving today I’m stoked to test! I think they’ll give thermacell the run for their money
Thanks for a great review. I'll be watching to see what if anything is better than Thermacell.
Check out our nitecore test!
Here is the link!

I have used a Thermacell since the first year or so since they came out and while camping in North New England. I can verify that Thermacell works and have the same unit since new and no problems. I buy the pads and gas cylinders at Walmart. Lowes Home Improvement is selling the table lamp version. Thanks for the video.
You betcha!
Nice work boys! No nonsense testing, per usual
Only way we know how! Got more to do with the new units coming I have high hopes with them!
Thanks
I'll continue to use my Thermocell. 👍
Yessir! I’m curious about the nitecore products I’m testing now they are impressive
Thanks for saving me time, money and frustration!
I got you!
Great review!! Have you had time to try the FlexTail Max?? Would love to see that comparison Thanks
I haven’t no sir! I will come spring!
This was a great review! Subscription earned!
Appreciate it man!
I’ve been recently purchasing the Flextail gear I’ve got the SUP pump , ZERO pump , Evo Lantern & the ZERO seat.. I’m now waiting for the Tiny repeller S , after seeing your video now makes me think sending it back when it arrives..
Well maybe I just got a dud let me know how it works!
Maybe the S model actually gets hot enough, hopefully... (i ordered one too)
why make a revision of not to fix something
I just ordered two of the Tiny Repeller gift boxes, right before I saw this video. The video I watched before the purchase said they work great. Fingers crossed this guy got a dud. I did enjoy the video though.
@treymignon that makes one of us 🤣🤣
I was hoping for the FLEXTAIL to pass the test!
On to the next options!
I think the next ones will be 💰 🤌🏽
Great review mate, you’ve just confirmed what all the other reviewers have come across, the unit doesn’t generate enough heat (power) to be effective 👎 shame really as I was hoping to take the Flextail abroad as I’m limited to one butane refills gas bottle on the plane
on my new Thermacall MR300 unit, but will do the blag on the bottle by taking the inner valve out and buy some gas lighter fuel abroad, thanks for putting ya life in danger!🤣🤣🤣💪👍
I have some other options coming that could solve that issue! I’m pretty excited to test them out!
Great video! Really enjoyed your head to head testing, now I know for sure it's not the pads. I told you that Tiny Repel was trash, no need to further test it.
There’s always a reason to test things, it just doesn’t get hot enough consistently when it does it works great but it’s to hit & miss
I watched this guy so stoned on my phone that I had zoomed in and could only see his mouth and the very end of his nose and his moustache for the first sixteen minutes before I realised I was literally embedded in his moustache and so I came to advise you all not to forget to zoom out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m dying
Bro, this actually made me laugh 😂 thanks for being a stoner haahahhh
Bro, this actually made me laugh 😂 thanks for being a stoner bahhahahhhh
😂
And I'm here to advise you that..... you like men.
i had high hopes for the smaller form factor. i look forward to your other testing :)
Here’s the best ones yet!
th-cam.com/video/7hEfrNTG91o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=voHjT3JbB56Yml9p
Easily my new go to’s
Seen a lot of videos about the Flextail Mini, unfortunately didn’t see yours before I bought one! I agree that it doesn’t get hot enough. I’ve tried the pads in the Thermocell, they kinda work but not for long. Got a box full of those things 🙄. Interested in your review of the Nitecore.
I’m gonna be testing both nitecore’s this weekend same format as this!
This is reassuring because I had no idea that any of them actually work.
Thermacell does ahaha
I'm wondering if you got a defective Flextail. Another reviewer said the pads look moist when it's working.
But I really appreciate that you were willing to get ate by mosquitos for research!
I have tried everything with that flextail it’s trash the replacement they sent for it is also trash
Keep in mind they do pay people for reviews we turned that down as it’s not how we do it we film honest performance talks testing no matter what the content of the video is about
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Was the replacement the new 's' version that has a third more powerful setting?
@n1ckyr930 not sure I’ll be reviewing it soon
Maybe the powerful setting will actually just work Wel see
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA thank you 🙂 I did a thing I don't normally do, a friend said they thought it was good so I ordered without checking reviews .. waiting for my 's' version to arrive but now thinking it is going to just be an expensive camping lamp lol 😁 live and learn but fingers crossed the third setting helps
... plus .. I'm in the UK so hopefully our mossies aren't so hardcore 😂
I love my ThermaCELL! I never hunt turkey without it.
We can’t or we’d get mauled 🤣🤣 I’m liking these nitecore’s though! Very impressive!
I’ve got one of the OG thermacells that would melt the plastic vent ribs on the back and it works
When u use a matt in it it burns most bttm of pad and turns pad light blue white
Yessir!
Great job mate.. thank you
You betcha make sure to share & subscribe!
A great YT Video, good on you; I'm so looking forward to your upcoming 'Shark Repel' video... LOL ;)
Not many sharks in NY lol
Glad I seen this Video. What is your Favorite Go To for Mosquito 🦟 repellent?
Nitcore so far
It makes you wonder if you wrapped some breathable tape around two of those pads on a disposable instant hand warmer, if it would repel them
I just ordered the new version of this one (S). Probably would not of ordered it if I had seen this first. But I have seen other reviews where people used it in the video and it worked. Maybe yours is defected? I will give it a try and still use my thermacell. I have been refilling the butane for years to save money and would order the pads from Asia. For some reason, it is harder to find them on ebay now. Great video! I just suffer wearing long sleeve self wicking shirts and pants in the summer when outside. I wanted this to keep on the boat when I'm in the swamp.
I’m hoping mine is
They sent a replacement but it’s just finally becoming time to test this kind of gear out again!
What about using one of those spiral mosquito repellants that you light with a match? They would start working immediately and certainly are less expensive.
I’d test them
We mainly do these tests from a hunters perspective but those would be perfect for camping etc
I noticed some of those spiral mosquito burn units are made in China
Great review. Thanks! I almost bought that thing
It’s time now to test the replacement they sent and hope it works!
Great test thanks
Yessir got more coming!
😂😂😂 THE MOSQUITO ATTACK MODE
#LEGENDARY
#PALM BEACH IS WATCHING
🤣🤣🤣 I hope people find both humor and results from these tests they really suck to film when it doesn’t work good 🤣🤣
Thanks for the test, I'm wondering if it is influenced by air temp? If ambient temp is hot then it could easilly get up to operating temp, but in cooler conditions, maybe the unit is struggling to reach that range? I have 2 units, one has already failed on me at 12c, not tested the other yet. but if correct, then I may try just using the pads around or in a twig stove! BTW I'm in UK and using them in Northumberland and Scotland against midges, usually 10 - 15 degrees C in these parts.
Well it was hot for this test so it shouldn’t have been an issue I think it’s just cheap quality, they are sending a replacement which I will again test fairly!
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Well I have the Max repel, So now thinking they are good as phone chargers and nothing more! I'll experiment with the pads and see what happens!
It may have less issues!
I didn't even know these products existed before watching this video! Now I'm wondering if there is any device which keeps other bugs (not just mosquitoes) away?
There is some!
AWESOME review mate, thank you…. You JUST saved me $100 AUS!!
Hope you subscribe as a thank you that’s what we do!
Way to take you for the team! 😆Now I don't have to test it out myself!
I highly recommend not following my lead on this one 🤣🤣
They are sending a replacement so Wel be back on the swamp testing again shortly!
Plus with some nitecore options as well
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA haha. Don’t worry. I’ll be interested to see how the new one does! Good luck!
Same! We shall see what happens!
Brilliant strait to the point honest reveiw 👍
Thanks man!
1:19 Looks like that Flextail attracted a mosquito. LOL!
It did I hated this experience 🤣🤣🤣
Great video Bud , Know BS here might be crazy though 😂 👍
Had to be done ahaha
When I use my thermocell I hang it underneath my seat as close to my ankle height so the fumes float up and create a cloud around me including
my legs
I dig it!
That makes sense.
Absolutely , thermacell works . placed under and as close to center of blood source ( this means you ) is the ideal location . 15' zone will vary with the wind direction , and with enough wind effectiveness will suffer and so will you . I use mine hunting and always wondered how they found me 30' up a tree . Turns out they feed heavily on birds ! Probably also squirrels and coons and possums !
Sure you aren't just trying to impress the girls? 😂
Lemon scented dishwashing liquid on Ackles and exposed areas, put theroceell underneath near front....boom
I like it!
Thanks!
Yessir!
Will thermacell keep gnats away or do i need to buy something else??
It seems to in my experience
Thank you
You betcha!
What are the pads made of? Is it ok to breath?
Yes they are approved safe
Hey brother any idea on if the thermacell repels no-see-ums? I have probably 40-50 bites from about an hour yesterday.
What is a no see ums lol
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA biting midge is the other name lol. I grew up calling them noseeums
We don’t have them thank god, I am not sure if it would or not I hope so ahaha
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA they messed me up man biting through a ghille suit and I was using a fishing shirt as an underlayer. Luckily only got my arms and hands but could probably count out 30 of them just on my hands lol. But good luck this season and I appreciate the videos
@matthewmackie8649 that is insane dear lord! Thank god we ain’t got them!
Thanks man we got tons of content coming!
I just got the flextail stuff - my pads aren't black? think they've changed something?
I hope mine didn’t work lol
I do as well; (got a couple $ invested now....) @@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA
I have been using a Thermacell ever since they came on the market and when I have something that proves it works I stay with it. I've used it locally here in Central Florida , mid-south Florida at Fisheating Creek and south in the Everglades & 10,000 Islands areas. Not a single skeeter bite when it's on. The darn thing even works in Canada , The Okefenokee Swamp and over in Louisiana & even Texas.
Yessir! Check out my nitecore repeller unit tests they are just as good! They are my new go to which is even crazy to say!
th-cam.com/video/7hEfrNTG91o/w-d-xo.html
Is there any difference between the flex tail pads and the thermacell pads?
Yes quite a bit of difference
@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA have you tried the flex tail pads in the flex tail unit?
@joeya8721 yes I have
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA results any different?
@joeya8721 no I believe I used both in this test? Can’t member
Maybe you got a lemon unit.. claim on the warrantee and see where it goes
Already did have to test the new one yet! Once the weather gets warm again I’ll text it
Thx for making me save money.
Thats what we do!
I use Termacell they work. 🦃🦃🦃
I’m excited for the new options that showed up today I’ll be filmin tomorrow !
You can trust a guy who still has a land-line phone!
It’s the little things 🤣🤣
My thermacell works great as long as there is no wind or breeze.
Correct
one for the team! LOL
Yessir make sure to subscribe and share 🤣🤣 did a bunch of these tests
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Could you also get eaten alive reviewing the night core EMR 30? I Subscribed lol
@chuckwalters4759 once it warms up I’ll do more of these tests
Flextail say you are supposed to put it low down
Well it doesn’t matter where you put it if the unit doesn’t get hot enough to activate the pads to repel mosquitoes
First..wind WILL affect the repeller..don't move it around..second..place the Thermacell on the deck if you don't want your legs chewed up..the vapor travels up...if the mats are black they're used up..Thermacell works!.
The thermacell did work in this vid the flextail didn’t….
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA awesome sir! I work for Thermacell..so I am sorta bias..lol
@mikebryant8082 just very bias 🤣
I’m unsure did you actually watch the video as in no point did I bash the thermacell it worked perfect this test 🤣🤣
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA I know Brother..just some helpful tips..great review and just subscribed!
@mikebryant8082 appreciate that man!
Thank you so much!
You betcha! Make sure to subscribe for more of these tests plus I put links below for all this gear!
Got some new options already on the channel!
I haven't used my thermacell yet, i got it on sale last year for camping. I am ignorant on these thing so thanks for testing. The instructions say not to handle it until it cools off. I am a gadget guy with 18650 driven devices, and wud have been a sucker for the flextail. Btw your mic works very well. You can move and turn and keep the sound consistent. I was nervous at the start in your kitchen as you were already scratching quite a bit. And i did not zoom into your mustache.
Appreciate that! And ya the flextail had me ate alive in this one 🤣
I was going to subscribe to your channel because of dedication sitting in Sketoes !! But apparently I’ve been watching your spring turkey hunt videos for a while now you don’t look the same sport in a little hat compared to your gobbler get up so I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but I was gonna subscribe to you, but I don’t have to cause I already watch your videos!!
Now you know both sides of me 🤣🤣
Flextail what day you? Care to comment? I guess not!! I have a flextail too and it’s useless.. I agree it doesn’t get hot enough to activate the pads
They replaced mine I will be testing the new one in the same format this weekend to see if it works
it sounds like the flextail is defective
It is, sometimes it gets hot enough but recently after several charges it seems to just not get hot enough
I wouldn’t put much faith into it
Spray your clothes with Permethrin
We do with our hunting clothes
Thermacel is junk. Literally did nothing for me. Don't know about the other device. Can't beat good ole deet.
Thermacell kept me good in this video
The other I got ate alive
Not sure if you actually watched or not
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Yes I watched. Scientifically you will find varying results from users online. What seems to be happening is that some species of mosquito reacts favorably to the technology and some do not. Out here in the high alpine Rockies I have found that out species of mosquito really are immune to the thermacel technology and I got ate alive. As with any tech, results may vary. Personally deet is unbeatable, but again not everyone can use deet. What seems to work best is a combination of an attractant and kill device using heat and CO2 and treating my clothes with permethrin. Both kill mosquitoes and are easily backpacked.
This really isnt a good review. Flextail literally has 4 separate models, 2 tinys; 1 with and without a power bank. Than they have 2 bigger models even lasting up to 28hrs. You most likely just got a bad model, they one you have probably has manufacturer defects...
Ive seen so many reviews on flextail where other people have had extremely good experiences with it...
A review that yields bad results is not bad just because others have had great luck
You do realize FLEXTAIL pays people to review these?
I refused the money and tested it honestly… believe what you want
I would NOT be sniffing the pads. The ingredients on your light device looked like insecticide(you barely flashed the label), rather than repellent. If going to use insecticide, Spray your clothes with a permethrin solution, like Sawyer's. Thermacell works better in an enclosure like a blind, but still would not be sniffing the vapors directly from the machine.
I use sawyers on all my hunting gear and sniffing these pads like I did would have zero effect on my body the ingredients in them both are safe solutions to repel mosquitoes
The two ingredients listed were : prallethrin & meperfluthrin
long winded. repetitive
Have to be
ya its called 99% deet
🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼
flextai must hate you for this video lol :D they are full of shit with this product ... you can not comment on their yt shorts and that is enough for me to know this ... thanks 4 the review you made me sure what to buy :D peace !!
You betcha! We only let the performance talk and the rest walk!
