Fragile

a month ago
This was working great however it got til and the unit in the picture hit the picnic table leg, it was under the table. The unit stopped working after this. Gas could be heard hissing out of it! I took it apart to see if a seal or something got misaligned, the inside bottom is spring loaded and was broke allowing gas to continue spewing out, a good thing there was no ignition source.

Questions

1 - 9 of 9 Questions

Q: Is this the Gen 1 (red threads) or Gen 2 (blue threads)?

5 years ago
4 Answers
  • A: I sincerely doubt these are Gen 2 as stated above. I would id them as Gen 1 for the following reasons. The second image in the listing clearly states it contains three refills, a bag and describes it as Gen 1. In the USA, a popular online store has both versions. Gen 2 comes with 4 refills instead of 3 and there's a bright yellow section saying it contains 16 hours of protection. The listed Gen 1 model has nothing about this mention of 16 hours of protection. It uses the exact same pictures as this Canadian Tire listing.
