    The double spout is actually not specifically for the purpose of pouring from 'both sides', it's actually so the bottle lets air into it as you're pouring alcohol from it to prevent that glugging action as the air tries to get in to replace the alcohol in the bottle. It means that you get a perfect pour stream every time until the very last drop.

      Neg you have it backwards, its the opposite. The two spouts are so it can be poured from both sides, which ever one you don't choose also lets air in so either side can pour. Luke is correct, you are wrong, well mostly wrong.

    • @lamarwilliams185
      @lamarwilliams185 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Does it matter? Yeah it matters that air can enter as liquid is poured out. The added benefit of being able to pour out both sides is a plus. They could build it so that you could only pour fluid out of one side!!!!

    ONLY FOR INTERESTED THOSE
    #1. The valve does not need to be tightened and locked so much (as shown in the video) - this is overkill.
    #2. Seals and threads can be lubricated with a dedicated grease (e.g. Molykote). Then everything works better and does not creak.
    #3. Not all bottle sizes have a liquid level indicator.
    #4. There are two rubber seals - an O-ring on the threaded connection and a flat pressure seal on the valve. They are interchangeable, but the material they are made of matters...
    #5. It is very important to remember that the fuel/fluid remains in the nozzle. Remember to shake the bottle. If you don't do this, you will have fuel in your luggage.
    #6. Fuel can be safely transported in summer, at high temperatures. When opening, remember about increased pressure.

    Trangia fuel bottle, the best and safest solution. Have two and I‘m sooo happy with them. 1 Liter as backup/Storage bottle at home, 1/2 Liter for my outdoor tours. Before I used two Vargo bottles and both leaked, even if closed. Do not, do never buy the Vargo bottles if you have the Trangia Option, not even if you like to go „ultra light“.

    • @maskddingo1779

      Only problem with these is that it's not as easy to see if the bottle is "open" (top nut loose) as it would other bottles. It might look closed, but will leak if that top screw isn't tightened down.

    Hi Luke and thank you for another great review! The main feature of this bottle is to prevent basically an explosion if you are refilling it when it is still lit (can sometimes be hard to see and mistakes happen). With an ”open cap bottle” fire will seek its way into the bottle and you reflexes will make you drop the bottle and you have a nasty fire around your camp. But with the spring loaded bottlecap it will close as let go of the bottle and the fire will be a lot less to deal with. I do believe there are some videos on youtube where this is illustrated.

  • @garth8979

    I've used one of these for about 3 or 4 years here in the UK.
    Great bit of kit.
    I have the smallest size and I've found it's more than enough for a weekend wild camp. I've always gone home with fuel to spare.
    I presume that's an updated version as mine doesn't have the clear fuel level indicator.
    For some reason only Trangia knows, the green bottles are plastic, but the red bottles are aluminium.
    But I don't suppose it matters.

    • @alexanderslee
      @alexanderslee 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've been using one for about 4 years now when I go camp mostly with pedle bike set up so lots of vibration on our lovely smooth English it's never let me down also the double spout has the advantage of letting air in to let you clear the spout after pouring as long as keep it on a bit of an upward angle with the cap pressed down and a couple of light tap with your finger normally clears the sprout for me.I don't massage very often so I would just like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work I have found very beneficial over the years here in Herefordshire UK.👍

    I've been using the the Trangia Liquid Fuel Bottle for a little over a year now and I have to say it pretty good. I have noticed with the Trangia bottle though it works much better if you unscrew the bottle and press down on the valve mechanism to release any pressure in the bottle before you tip and poor or else sometimes you may get a little rush of fuel more than expected.

    Hi Luke
    i purchased this same bottle in the UK only a week ago, great bit of kits so easy to use. But as an added bonus these bottles are Certified for carrying Flammable products so have passed EU rules and regulations, and i believe the plastic part is made of the same Material that portable fuel/ gas cans are made of. (ones used for emergencies or the ones you use for filling mowers or chain saws) Another plus for this simple fuel bottle. Not sure if the America version would have it but Certification stamp is embossed on the bottom of my bottle.
    I must say i was looking along the lines of the old one you were using, i didn't even give a thought about spout lifting up, i'm glad i went with trangia bottle as I want to try out Alcohol stove on my out door adventures, only only used stick stove or gas.
    keep up the good work.

    Rally glad to see that the US is now getting to know Trangia products. Trangia has been around for almost 100 years now, and they know their stuff. The products are all very fit for purpose.
    One of the great things about Trangia is that all of their cooksets are available in a choice of different metal finishes. Another is that you can buy any single item from any cookset on its own. So if you happen to loose the lid , you can replace just the lid, not your whole pot or cookset. They do spares for everything.

    These have been popular in Europe for many years. I've had one a good few years now and I really like it. I love my Trangia system as a whole. I have the 25-2UL kit with the kettle and the same fuel bottle as this but it's red in colour. I camped for a couple of months last year in France on a long road trip and I cooked every day on the Trangia. Great stove, great fuel bottle, all around such a good setup for car camping or similar. Great for emergencies too. The fuel is cheap, can be found at any European supermarket or hardware store and a litre of fuel goes a long way and can be stored for a very long time no problem.

    Old classic style version of Trangia fuel bottle is to use normal SIGG-bottle then drill a 2-3mm a hole horizontally strait true the top cap under the o'ring. Then you get "two nozzles" and don't need to unscrew the top completely to pour fuel out our spill out to musth when pouring.

    I have been using these bottles for more years than I can remember, I have owned several, and the only reason I've had to replace them is because I've either given them away or I've lost them. I've had my current one for well over 5 years and it's as good as the day that I bought it. As others have said they are a little on the heavy side, but I'd rather carry a little weight than get to camp with my bag and gear stinking of meths and unable to make a hot meal and drink.

      I have a red Nalgene fuel bottle too. They are super expensive on Ebay as they have been discontinued for 20yrs. They are often listed for over $100ea. I also have a MSR Titanium fuel bottle, Made in Japan. I have seen guys bid over $400 for those on Ebay.

      I have a couple of the old Nalgenes and i’m wondering how they do with alcohol. They’re labelled with a warning not to use alcohol since it will corrode the plastic. But is this a problem if you don’t leave the fuel in them between trips?

    The dual spouts are a great idea. The spout you're not using acts as a chimney to allow air in, which lets it pour without going glug glug glug.

    A tip that I use with bottles like the Vargo is that when I am transporting my fuel I take a small square of plastic food wrap and double it up, remove the Vargo cap, put the plastic wrap over the opening, then screw the cap back on. When you need to use the fuel remove the plastic wrap set it where you can get it put the cap back on and pour your fuel. Replace the plastic wrap whenever you are done pouring your fuel.

    I appreciate this bottle is new to USA, but very common in Europe. It is the best bottle for this type of fuel. Big debate here about double pour holes, but unsure why. From Trangia's website...
    " The cork has a venting spout and a pouring spout that allows the liquid to flow smoothly, reducing the chance of spills." Screwed down tight there are no fuel leaks. I have the large bottle for longer trips and small bottle for day trips in red colour, which mightn't be that stealthy but lets everyone know its fuel. Expensive for what they are, but very well made and should last for years. Better still, in Europe anyway, you can get top valve replacement without ordering a new bottle.

  • @smallengineeringlimited2410
    @smallengineeringlimited2410 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That top is so much better than the Sigg top, which you twist a bit to allow the run through the threads but I used that bottle for 40 years so be nice to upgrade. I think the double top is for airflow so you have a constant flow of fuel, that is smart.

    I had the same issue with alcohol bottles and bought a Trangia bottle about fifteen years ago at Mount Rogers Outfitters in Damascus.
    For my liquid stoves, I use metal bottles as the plastic Trangia bottles shouldn't be pressurized.
    The Trangia bottles are a lot more heavy and a lot more expensive, but you're much less likely to find your alcohol spilled in your pack, and the spout works great.

    I'm glad these are finally becoming more available in North America, I've wanted to get one for my alcohol stoves for a while now. I ended up going with one of the Goshawk bottles because it's durable and seals securely, but it doesn't have a window for fuel level and the pour spout is just the opening on the top. Definitely not as nice as the Trangia bottles!

  • @Thereal111t
    @Thereal111t 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I remember these being available from campmor or in the 90’s. I have several. They are very high quality. They are fairly heavy compared to other options and they don’t fit neatly into the ultralight alcohol stove philosophy for long distance hikers. For someone using a full Trangia system this is probably the best option. They’re also great for appliances with small fillers. They’re great for any of the Swedish camp stoves such as the svea123 or even something like a coleman lantern. No funnel required.
    My biggest con is that the lid can be very hard to remove. I wish they made a dedicated wrench that fit around all of the random protrusions on the cap. For myself I use a plumbers pipe wrench. This is for filling which is something done at home so an iron wrench isn’t weight prohibitive. Even so I find myself crimping the vent/spout holes a bit.

    These are also my favorite bottles. I use a small one for white gas that I labeled and the pour spout perfectly refills my svea 123r without a funnel and can gently fill the priming bowl and soak the carbon felt wick I put on it. My advice if you want a good alcohol bottle on a budget is repurpose (and label) and old contact solution bottle never had one leak even thrown around in my toiletries bag

    good review - the bottle is excellent, although I think the over dramatics on how "bad" the Vargo bottle spoilt it a bit. if it was that it wouldn't have sold...its not the only option for a plastic bottle etc. The simplicity of the trangia bottle matches the simplicity of the stoves themselves.....

    Purchased mine from Amazon 2024-01-22, $21.49. It is the red one-liter, with the viewable volume strip.
    My only issue was the plunger's screw nob. At first I thought the valve assembly was broken. The plunger nob was extremely tight, not tightened down tight, the nob itself was almost impossible to hand turn. No, not cross threaded just a very tight thread and nob connection issue. To turn the nob up and down the threaded post I needed a vice grip. My fix, use vice grip on the nob turning the nob all the way down and all the way up a gazillion times; added a drop of oil as well. It is much better and can be hand turned, yet could be too tight for someone with arthritic hands. Even with that issue I am looking towards a smaller bottle as well.

My theory is that if something contains liquid, it will find a way to leak someday. Probably because I did something stupid like forgetting to lock down the top! :)

    You can simply wrap the entire cap of the Vargo bottle with a full layer of electrical tape to seal it until you're ready to use it. Only takes a second to wrap/unwrap and it doesn't take much tape either. Just a suggestion.
