Sorry to read of your problems. I can't help with your replacement generator, but will note that I had a "pregnant vaporiser" failure some years...
I know some folk have had success in cleaning a vap / gen tube, but I haven't. I have occasionally removed the pricker wire and cleaned the carbon...
Yep! Usually a generator / vaporiser problem. Enjoy your lamp.
Glad it worked for you. I'm afraid I can't comment about the differences you've noted. What I can say is that my supply of Tilley mantles were...
I use a standard, pre-tied, Tilley mantle on my Vapalux as I too have a stock of them. It'll go over the upper mount (on the burner) easily enough...
Hi Graham - getting old - or having the benefit of wisdom and experience - - - Ideally, you need someone selling the stuff from a bulk...
Just picking up, again, on fuel types - I recall when paraffin smelt like paraffin. The prepack doesn't. The central heating oil does. Just saying - -
Well, I had an identical problem with a Vapalux last year - and a very expensive problem it turned out to be too, as I had to buy a new vaporiser...

It works both ways - I've had several instances where I didn't receive the goods, and also a couple where the goods were not "as described". In...
Result - all the more so given the source!
I suspect we now know why it was in a skip in the first place! De-pressurise. Open the control cock. Unscrew the vaporiser and remove the pricker...
Nice! The cup from a Vapalux will fit - and gives a similar effect.
And we should of course remember that Scotland's Independence was, in large part, sold out by the Scottish nobility who saw gain for themselves in...
I had a new Tilley vap tube a couple of years ago which leaked from the ferrule to tube joint. The chap who supplied it (can't recall who / where)...
Just to update on this - my shiny new mantle support and equally shiny vap tube arrived today from BaseCamp and have just been fitted....
Well - every day is a learning day! Never heard of that cunning device. Thanks.
Ironically, the place I use in Auchterarder, Perthshire, is one of the "old fashioned" ironmongers - who now only sell pre-pack! I'm old enough to...
