Nice, clear and concise commentary, well done! I have a chinese copy of this, it is a sort of mixture of the Kovea Booster, the Primus Omnifuel and the Optimus Nova plus, excellent value at £33 of Ebay.

Also, if you flip the bottle over to the "off" position and allow the flame to die then immediately turn off the valves, there will be pressure left in the tank. If your intention is to remove the pump or refill the tank the residual pressure will spray fuel over your hands and the bottle. Leave the valves open after the flame stops. You will hear a hiss but no flame will come. When the hiss stops, the bottle is depressurized and you can remove the lid. No spilling. No kerosene fingers.

Priming the stove with the bottle fuel is terrible. It is stinky, messy, and prone to big fireballs unless the utmost care is used. It works only if using naphtha / Coleman Fuel. Kerosene is even harder to prime with and 10x messier.
Two, the priming pad sucks. It degrades, falls apart, and leaves a pile of burned lint all over the place.
To solve this, I removed the priming pad entirely since it is not necessary and prime only with denatured alcohol. It primes just as well and much cleaner.

Worst Primus video ever! The music sucked and the lyrics just went on and on and on. These guys used to write goods songs, what happened??
in what way does such a simple stove suck,it burns most fuels out there and is simple to maintain,so please elaborate.
