Has anybody used this type of canister for single burner camp stoves? My stove has long connecting tube can fit on the top of the canister. I plan on lying the can down flat. These 227g (8 oz) cans are only $4 each compared to msr canisters that are $8.

 Flipping the canister over is smooth and results in a nice boost of heat; however it seems to lose the ability to adjust the flame at this point. Simmer control is where the Vega loses compared to the MSR Windpro in my opinion. The Vega controls exactly like the Crux line of stoves which is very touchy. The MSR stoves seem to control the flame with more finesse making it easier to adjust without killing the flame

 The Vega stove is lighter and packs up smaller. Having the feet built onto the canister attachment is also very convenient (MSR has a separate plastic attachment that can be lost). I also like having a slightly longer fuel line and the more aggressive pot arms on the Vega. I will say

I recently purchased the new Optimus Vega stove and have used it twice so far. This stove is marketed to the 4-season crowd who want to use a canister style stove in very cold conditions as it allows the user to easily invert the canister. Of course it can be used in warmer weather if you so choose. This remote style stove contains a swivel at the canister attachment point which allows the canister to be turned upside down (liquid feed mode) very smoothly

Optimus Vega vs MSR Windpro II

 Nubs at the ends of the supports to prevent your pot from sliding. Convenient, fold-out legs for the flipped canister position. (The MSR uses an awkward-to-pack plastic thing). And the Optimus looks cooler

This review compares the Optimus Vega and the MSR Windpro 2. Advantages of the Optimus: Lower profile. Nubs at the ends of the supports to prevent your pot from sliding. Convenient, fold-out legs for the flipped canister position

Compared to a Rival

Really like the stable low profile with the wide base and the can to the side instead of under the burner. If you’ve ever, after a long hard calorie burning day, tipped over your almost ready dinner because of a high profile profile stove that mounts on top the canister, you’ll appreciate this feature. Also I like the wider burner that helps you avoid burning food to the bottom of the pot. Then add to that the option of upending the canisters so you get full burn in the coldest of weather and you’ve got a full, unmitigated five star stove

Great Price on a 5-Star Stove

 If the gas line is bent in a specific direction, it almost tips over when removing the pan. Just be aware and make sure it is on the most flat surface you can find in the outdoors and you will be fine.

Excellent Craftsmanship

 All types have various advantages and disadvantages, and no system is perfect for every backpacking situation, however, if this is the style of stove you are looking for, you would be hard-pressed to do better than the Vega.

 Will not tip over easily. Do some research and figure out if you want an integrated cooking system (i.e. Jetboil), a screw-on-top-of-the-canister stove (i

e. Jetboil), a screw-on-top-of-the-canister stove (i.e. Pocket Rocket), separated burner like this, or a mixed/liquid fuel stove

Optimus Vega Review | Gear Institute

Meticulously engineered and crafted the 3.1 ounces. Soto WindMaster ultralight backpacking stove outperforms its competitors by maintaining a strong flame on stormy, blustery days. WindMaster includes a stove body, carry bag, and 4-Flex Support. Designed to position pot close to the flame making it nearly impossible for the wind to penetrate the stove's flame. With the installation of the micro regulator, the WindMaster is able to maintain a consistent output when challenging the limits in this category of stoves. The stove is shock resistant. The stealth igniter installed inside the burner post improves ignition and prevents breakage. Output: 2800 kcal/h 3260w 11000 BTU

America's Test Kitchen

Weighing less than a deck of cards, this model is small but mighty. The highly serrated 4Flex four-armed pot support ensured that our backpacking pots and pans sat securely on the stove—no slipping or sliding. Plus, the pot support is removable and collapsible, making this backpacking stove ultracompact. The Soto also lived up to its “windmaster” claim, boiling water in an astonishingly fast 4 minutes and 19 seconds when set near a fan blowing 8-mile-per-hour wind. Heat control was the only feature that the Soto struggled with; to raise and lower the heat, we had to turn the fuel-adjuster knob around and around before the flame grew or shrunk. However, we were still able to gently sauté onions and scramble eggs like pros and simmer grocery-store backpacker Alfredo without a hitch.

"As an outdoors enthusiast and avid cook, finding a backpacking stove that is both lightweight and can handle my idea of backcountry cooking seemed . . . challenging. (For perspective, I once tried to cook risotto over a campfire. Four hours later, we munched on crunchy, smoked risotto.) But while testing backpacking stoves, I was superimpressed with this little number from Soto, which is ultralightweight, superstable, and easy to control heat-wise. With the help of this stove, I’ve successfully simmered chilis and sautéed sardines (tossed in olive oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic, served on bread *finger kiss*), all in the great outdoors." - Grace Kelly, Assistant Editor, ATK Reviews

Backcountry Exposure

TheOutdoorGearReview

 and so I have not used a pots where I've needed to have that much surface area to be able to keep the pot on so keeping the weight down I Do just use this tri Flex. Just this tripod type of system that's included with the stove and it's been really nice. So if I show you here on its side, you can see how low the pot stand is next to the height of the burner. That's something that I really really enjoy about this stove is the space between the burner and the bottom of the pot allows for it to basically be its own type of windscreen in that concave shape which and other Soto stoves like that amicus do have that concave shape as well

 And so my experience with the Soda Wind Master has been that it literally just outperforms all of the other canister stoves. So you do have this concave shape and I know that this concave shape of the burner is not like this incredibly innovative new thing the only Soto is doing. In fact, MSR is releasing a new stove that basically to me is a copycat of this but you've got a lot of the same elements. The boil times that I get from this thing is really impressive at 10,000 feet

 I still carry and like a mini BIC with me, but the the seal around the base is really well done. It doesn't spurt off a bunch of butane protip propane gas when you screw it on and screw it off. so that's a bonus and just overall, this thing is really really cool. So I'm super psyched about the way that this thing has boiled water, how it performs, it burns hot, you've got good simmer action to it, and I literally do not have like negative things to say about it

 When I was out on a five-day trip in July had this thing I was boiling water in two and a half to three and a half minutes depending on how cold the water was. And so a five-day trip I made a 100 gram fuel canister last with extra fuel. So now the total weight of the wind Master is going to come in at just under three ounces. and so when you were comparing this to other options it no, it does not break down and fold down like super tiny

Soto WindMaster Stove Review | Is This The Best Canister Stove?

 I'd be willing to add a couple more ounces of weight to have something that instilled a little more long-term confidence. But ultimately, if it does break, I can always buy another one (and I guess that right there is a benefit of the 2-piece model).

But I settled on the Soto because it seemed just a hair more versatile and here's why:

My only concern so far with the Soto is the durability of the pot supports. They are REALLY lightweight (you could snap them in 2 with just your hands) and I do wonder if the PocketRocket Deluxe might be little more durable in that regard. I'd be willing to add a couple more ounces of weight to have something that instilled a little more long-term confidence. But ultimately, if it does break, I can always buy another one (and I guess that right there is a benefit of the 2-piece model)

Soto vs MSR - I went with Soto.

 Also it is very quiet. Packs away with one small fuel canister in a Stanley Adventure Cook Pot alright. Quick tip: pre warm the fuel canister before use with your body heat for best performance at lower temps.

Quiet Powerful Compact

 Both stoves have good flame regulating and solid builds. For me, the efficient boil in breezy camps with a piezo starter still make this a keeper but minus a star for the separate setup supports.

Japanese Stove Designs: Soto vs Sno Peak LiteMax

 Now talking about this being used with larger pots. This can support a huge pot. I mean you've seen in some of my videos I've cooked up full meals on this. The Four Flex in my opinion is the way to go

 It's really, really smart. It really is. Now talking about this being used with larger pots. This can support a huge pot

 but if you have a smaller cup or something like that, you want to go even lighter weight. The Three Flex is a good option for you folks. That's my review and I'm sticking to it. Hit the thumbs up because it does help the channel support the channel here on Youtube and also Patreon if you want to take care, strength and honor

 Let's boil 300 milliliters of water. So here we go. The water's on full blast. timer start so it's breezy right now

This Little Stove is Awesome - Ultralight and Ultrafast - Soto Windmaster Stove Review

I tested out my new Soto WindMaster Stove this past weekend in the Mountains and I am in LOVE. I used the stove mainly to heat water to make coffee, and hydrate meals for one person. It's lightweight, incredibly easy to use, and packs up beautifully inside my Snow peak titanium trek 700 mug.

It's a Keeper

Now unlike the Micro Regulator, the Windmaster's shielded burner head is distinctly capable of holding the flame even with some wind and it'll maintain output. With the 4Flex legs and the "adhering" flame, the Windmaster will put most of the heat into the pot without having to seek shelter or erect a loose wind blocking screen around the stove. When a horizontal gust of wind hits the flame parallel to the pot bottom, it "curls" on itself from the disk and goes beneath the pot. In my experience, it means the flame isn't blown out and it is more robust

Ultimately the biggest downside of the Windmaster: It is a "huge" stove. With the 4Flex it becomes a solid rectangular cube in regards to storage dimensions. Even without the 4Flex pot support, the Stormbreaker is the tallest stove I own (next to the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe and Kovea V1 which seem like clones) and it has the fairly wide (for a modern, non side burner) burner head (just like the MSR PRD and Kovea V1). It also means the pot sits a little higher than if it were to be on a Snow Peak Gigapower or other designs but it does it better than the MSR PRD and Kovea V1 which have even taller pot supports

Huge improvement over Amicus and Micro Regulator

Saw some videos online and thought this was the best one out of all the similar ones. I haven’t personally done any comparison testing myself, but this one is a keeper for me! Might not be the lightest or the cheapest, but reviews say that it is the most fuel efficient. The igniter definitely helps and I don’t have anything to complain about my first pocket stove!

Just what the reviewers suggested!
