hmmm…  I will have to decide if it’s worth the effort of fixing it properly.  I am able to use it.  When I disconnect it from the can, all the butane in the hose is discharged, but that happens anyway although very sowly.

“When I disconnect it from the can, all the butane in the hose is discharged,”

I rarely if ever get that.  I keep the donor canister, adapters and hoses at room temperature.  The receiving canister is the only thing from the freezer.  When I close the valve on the donor side, I leave the adaptor/hoses connected for a while (10-20 seconds), below the donor canister and above the receiving canister.  I figure that any liquid butane/propane will flash to vapor and travel to the cold receiving canister (where it will condense).   Seems to work.

Or is there only one valve in this set-up?  When done transferring, try putting the canisters below the valve and warming the hose (in your hand, with a hair dryer, etc) to purge it of liquid fuel.

I’ve got a great adaptor Lindal-to-Lindal: G Works, Gas Saver.

Which goes for about $30.  Now, for the first time, I’m seeing a bunch of these:

On eBay for about $11 include shipping out of China.  Anyone try one of those, yet?

I’ve never found a connection to the Asian-market, upright, n-butane canisters that I liked nor trusted much.

I have one of those Gworks Lindal to Lindal, yeah, that works pretty good, better quality?

The SOLO is to transfer from those cheap cartidges, $1.25 for 8 ounces.  I believe they’re about 50% n-butane, 50% isobutane.  Work down to about 32 F without a Moulder strip or whatever.
