Mark Vitow MAPP Map Gas Plus Cylinder, Yellow, 453 g

good price just the job

This product is perfect for the job & great quality, but most of all is the service from this supplier it is second to non, this shipment went missing due to the delivery company ! and i report this to the supplier they took it onboard and sent a 2nd order F.O.C that day and it turned up no problem.

It's a good refill

Was a little bit unsure about buying these as the term "mapstyle" gas seemed like BS and was worried the gas wouldn't burn very hot. But in fact this gas burns very hot and for my needs I have to close down the valve quite a bit from full open otherwise it's too hot. The listing advertises the capacity of these canisters at 453 grams which is not the case as the packaging shows this to be only 400gm per unit, but considering the price I think the value is still very good so very happy but as this was not as advertised can only give four stars

As described and good value for money.

Perfect thank you.

This review is for a Yellow Mapp Gas bottle. First off, the exterior. Its a metal bottle. No complaints there, its as described. If i received a chocolate cylinder containing high explosive gas id be leaving a bad review. Its also Yellow, just as they promised, athough if it were a different shade of yellow, im not sure that would constitute a poor review. The colour is insignificant with regards to shade, however be aware, it should be yellow. If you get a blue one, or red one, then its probably Butane or Propane, and therefore you should throw your toys out of the pram and go ape at Amazon for royally ruining your day. possibly causing angst within the household and destroying any chance of some relations in bed that night! Inside? Well unfortunately, my Mapp Gas cylinder did NOT come with a quick release inspection lid, so i cant actually see inside. If yours does come with that feature, be sure to use a match or a lit Posse Torch (as used for Ogre hunting or witch burning, available on amazon im sure!) as this gives a great light source. The Gas itself is noisy, it makes a Hiss like an angry Diamondback Rattler, which scared the bejeesus outta me, but i recovered quickly. Fitting it to a bespoke blowtorch is the preferred method here! Silly me! So igniting the gas as it exits the torch gives a great effect, like the afterburner on the SR71 Blackbird, its mesmurising.......... Oh. Oh sorry i was daydreaming there looking at the flame. So after all that, i tried it on some copper pipe, and it turned some 15mm standard copper pipe cherry red in seconds, easily brazing it, or soldering it. I tried the gas on dissimilar metals, i brazed an Alloy washer to a steel pipe, no problems there. Obviously the right filler rod needs to be used, but the heat this gas puts out is enough to burn satans scrotum let alone do any jobs us mere humans would need. So if you managed to read through this drivel, then let me say, Mapp gas is HOT stuff. Sure its more expensive than Butane/propane mixes, but then try brazing steels and alloys with that!!

Map style gas as advertised. Haven't used yet but all seems exactly the same as the map gas I've been using and can no longer source. This is excellent value compared to the gas I was buying. I now have two bottles for less than I paid for one of my old supplier.
