Edit – the retailer made a mistake, and this is actually the 10.5oz aluminum model. It's still good to get 15% off, but certainly not the deal I'd hoped for.
Sorry!
Hi all,
I decided to spend a few minutes this afternoon trying to find the best deal I could on the Jetboil Sol Ti system. I managed to get it for $102, which seems pretty good compared to the $140 regular price.
Here's the website where it's selling for $120: http://www.outdoorplay.com/JetBoil-Sol-Premium-Cooking-System-Camping-Stove
I used the coupon code 15OFF to get 15% off.
It's possible this is a pricing mistake, but they're not the only place selling the system for $120. Hopefully it works out!

Apr 14, 2011 at 11:59 am #1724534I have a sneaking suspicion that it is not the ti model. That one has an MSRP of $149.
Apr 14, 2011 at 2:45 pm #1724626Right you are… I just got a call from Outdoor Play and they posted the wrong product information. Oh well, it was worth trying!

Apr 15, 2011 at 8:47 am #1724851The best "all in" price I found was campsaver with the 20% off coupon. No shipping and tax put it just under $120. I did find it for $114.95 but shipping was another 12.95.
I came in the mail yesterday…..very cool.
Apr 15, 2011 at 8:48 am #1724852Hey John – I was wondering if you could weigh the components and post them here or on another thread? Thanks,
Apr 15, 2011 at 9:30 am #1724866Will do. I was playing with it last night but didn't get out my scale. It has a more "delicate" feel to it but should prove to be more than durable enough. I will be replacing the VERY thin neoprene cover with something more substantial. It will add a half ounce or so, but with 190-200f water in it, it's too hot to handle with your bare hands. This makes my original Jetboil feel like a tank!
Apr 15, 2011 at 3:38 pm #1725014Just a heads-up:
My pre-ordered Jetboil Sol Ti arrived from REI this morning. Only problem was that it was just the cup – no stove, support stand, etc, included. The package said it was a "companion cup", but the REI label said it was the stove.
Took it in to the local REI, and after about an hour of the manager calling around, it looks like may be a number of them mislabeled. the manager said it may be a week or so before they get things straightened out.
FWIW, the posters who mentioned that the handle and cover are very flimsy are quite right – personally, I'm rethinking the whole thing!
Apr 17, 2011 at 11:14 pm #1725921I anyone's keen on a Jetboil Ti (the whole stove kit, not just the cup :) for $109 shipped – please ping me. I have access to a great discount code and can order on your behalf.
Cheers,
VineethApr 18, 2011 at 7:46 am #1725992ust thought I would add my measurements and comparison the the original. The first listed weight is the PCS and the second is the ti in ounces:
Pot w/ cozy – 6.8, 4.4
burner unit – 6.0, 3.4
lid – 1.2, .6
stabilizer – 1.0, 1.0
base cup – 0.9, 1.1It's interesting that the original stove's bottom cup is slightly lighter but everything else is considerably heavier. An earlier poster – in another thread – who had received his Sol ti said he experienced fuel leakage when removing the canister. I attached and then removed the fuel cartridge 6 times with NO leakage at all. This was with a giga power and jetboil, each being attached and removed 3 times. With only two of us reporting on this, it would be nice if others would chime in to determine if this is a design flaw seen on a number of units or just an isolated case.
I will be making a more substantial cozy, as the one provided is inadequate for handling the stove when full of hot boiled water. The handle is just an afterthought and should have been left off. I never used it on the PCS either so I am fine with that. Overall I shaved 6 oz for $20/oz…..a little costly but I also have a smaller packed size and hopefully, better cold weather performance. I should find out soon enough.
Apr 22, 2011 at 1:09 pm #1728082Vineeth, got the Jetboil Ti today! Thanks for sharing the great deal!
Apr 22, 2011 at 1:27 pm #1728086If you paid $190, I think you've been had :)
Ah I see I'd misposted the first time.
Apr 22, 2011 at 2:00 pm #1728099…yes, $190 wouldn't have been much of a bargain! really do appreciate the real deal though!
May 31, 2011 at 10:10 am #1743125How does one PM Vineeth when it says that PM's cannot be sent because Vineeth doesn't have a PM email defined?
Still looking to get a good deal on the Sol Ti.
Thanks,

May 31, 2011 at 10:46 am #1743149Bob, Unfortunately the deal I'd referred to has since expired :(
