i picked one of these up a couple months ago and sale. i wanted the flex but was never able to find one to look at in person. this one was looks like the same thing and was on sale so i got it. i have done some minimal testing but nothing exact. the control valve does have a short travel of operation but its seems to turn forever. even with is being short the turn is smooth and easy to control. now for the biggest complaint about the stove... the wobble. it does wobble. i have tried this stove on every surface i could find to test on around here from a table top to rocky clay to a tree stump. the only time the wobble occurred was when i touched the pot and the wobble was very little but definitely noticeable.
overall i would use this without question. it doesnt beat the jetboil but for a canister stove nothing i have used does. all the tests i did with it were done with a grease pot and a imusa mug. both were purchased new recently and have been painted black with high heat paint. with some of the reviews i have read online i wonder if they didnt have a slight redesign to reduce the wobble. that may be worth me looking into.
