I’ve used Vimeo as a video hosting website for five years, a legacy from when it was the ‘go to’ site for professional users with no advertising clutter. Retired from the employment where I used it as the default hosting site I stumped up the annual fee of £50 because of my familiarity with it and I liked the absence of advertisements. Renewal time today and the fee has more than doubled over what I first paid. It had steadily increased year-on-year but not by as big a leap as this time. So I’ve downgraded to a limited free Vimeo package and will switch to Youtube, mostly, from now on. Trial run, same video now on YouTube and the original uploaded to Vimeo Still trying out, I see the video quality is worse in the YouTube video. I see what I’ve done, I transferred it from the Vimeo original at too low a resolution. John

Hello, I have a question about the Lilor butane torch. I have the same torch, but I can't fill it. My question is, which adapter do you use to fill the tank with butane? Thanks for your help!
@rollschmidts Of course, Roland. I unscrew (finger and thumb) the butane tank-to-lantern outlet connector. I then remove the tank from the lantern frame and turn my attention to the refilling port. The cap unscrews and reveals a sprung-loaded ball valve, resembling that on a Campingaz gas bottle, but a different size and different threads of course. I made this refilling adaptor, lindal fitting and a threaded hollow probe that screws into the Lilor refilling port cap. Silbrazed construction for durability - lead solder could fail. I drilled and tapped the refilling port cap to match the threads on the ‘probe’. M5 from memory. Viton seal. Secondary gas-tightness for the refilling port cap is a viton disc seal. That’s removed, revealing another disc seal but with a hole, which when the cap’s screwed back onto the port allows the refilling adaptor ‘probe’ to pass through, pushing against the ball of the valve, enabling gas to flow … … but gas doesn’t flow until the valve on the commercially-available refilling adaptor is opened. That valve is opened when a bayonet-fitting donor gas cartridge is installed. Hope that helps! John
