Are propane adapters really worth it? I've calculated that it's not really much cheaper...

25$ the adapter ... 5$ a big bottle of propane at canadian tire (it's a sale)
29,99$ for a bottle of green gas, spray can size ...

plus, the adaptor is a one time charge. So in the long run, you're saving money, lots of money


Unless you're stupid and break it each time...then it's going to be more expensive

Hey guys,

1) I wrongly assumed that whatever the listed ounces are on the Coleman bottle would be directly comparable to the volume listed on green gas cans in ml. Given the right calculation, it appears as though we're getting a little over twice as much propane for our money going with the adapter route.

2) Evike is only a five minute drive from my apartment, so I never even considered factoring in shipping costs with green gas. But since many airsofters live far away from a retailer, they must calculate S&H costs when considering green gas, which is another factor I overlooked. For those of you that aren't close to an airsoft store, the benefits of using the adapter are even greater. =)

HelloKitty please fill in your profile location so we can take the fact that you are american in to account when responding to your posts. Airsoft does not work the same way up here as it does down there.

See, my dealer here in town sells green gas at 30$ a bottle, and I don't have to worry about the S&H, but i'm not going to use it because it's a major waste of money. If you feel like doling out 30$ each time your can runs dry, be my guest. But I find propane more reliable, cheaper, and it seems to last longer for your money.

Like up here, 16$ will get you three bottles of coleman at Canadian Tire, which lasts much longer than a 30$ bottle of green gas.

Sure there is the 25$ to pay for the propane adaptor off the bat, but, like I said, in the end, it's much cheaper.

So, what's cheaper over a few games?

30$+30$+30$?
Or 25$+16$?

Not to mention that everyone in Canada knows someone who has a camp stove or something for propane they no longer use. Don't know the shelf life of propane but if its decent I could see my grandpa having enough to suply a small army! (excluding his bbq!)
