Hi all, I was doing a pressure test on a Vapalux M1 and found this crack in the solder of the Jet Cleaner. Will ordinary solder with soldering...
I'm sure I saw a pack of 5 wires (without springs) on ebay a few weeks ago. Came to £21 after conversion because its a 'slow boat job. I'll try...
The Base Camp sells them base-camp.co.uk welcome Trev!
I would not have a problem using these vapourisers in a lamp or two, but I do believe in prolonging the life of the originals if I can. In the...
I've just posted details of this in the Fettle/ Frankenstein section. Basically I got this M1 running using parts from different models that I had...
I've posted this one before, but it was putting out a feeble light. I narrowed it down to a blocked fuel pickup and cleaned that up. She also has...

Hi all, I am wondering if all Vapalux/Bialaddin Jet Cleaner/Fuel Cocks are generally the same? I ask because I saw one for sale advertised for...
@Pitsmoor Col Coincidence! I'm working on another 300 myself. It arrived with a lovely Chrome tank, but the rest was in a bad state. I have an...
Apparently those 164 pro mantles fit the Vapalux/Bialaddin I read somewhere here? Because those Base Camp V42 mantles are a tad disappointing.
Very nice indeed! And with the proper Butterfly Glass. I have a Petromax Glass in mine. All I could get.
I'm not a lager drinker, but admittedly I like the Cruz Campo when in Spain. I like the real ale type beer, and if its a hot day at a bbq I will...
Yes hogs back was good stuff!
