  • wow thats fast and just seen a vid with a reactor operating at -30....??can the jet boil work that low too?

  • @bassfuryvi The Reactor has a pressure valve within the system. The jetboil will not operate in colder temps due to its lack of pressure valve...

  • nice vid guys, thanks for the comparison. I like the jetboil becuase it has a little more temp control and like you guys said, smaller, but the msr is appealing if all you are looking for is boiling water. jet boil doesn't work as consistently in colder temps, below -20, and higher altitudes, above 12'500. (my experience)

  • Yes. The Reactor has a pressure valve. It is able to give constant flow regardless of temperature or wind. The Jetboil is not able to perform in those same conditions. Your point of flame control is not as vaild. Both stoves are designed to simply boil.

  • Could you concider using same gas for both, to get neutral results?

  • They both use the same fuel mixture. Using the same can will not alter or change the result.  The MSR Reactor is a much better design all around.

  • @vertizon replacement NEW Jetboil PCS/GCS Igniter Maintenance Kit =$6

  • I like the video and have a jetboil sol ti myself, but your music sounds like an 1983 beach porno flick

  • I can't hear anything you guys are saying the music is too damn loud!

  • @ukusagent How fast will the jet boil be when the piezo fails? Moot point. Carry a lighter. Always.

  • @rmstudio- umm... Jetboil has been around 3 years longer than Reactor. MSR obviously does have a long track record.

  • Music too loud to hear what your saying

  • FYI you get an adapter for the Jetboil for the with standard pans, cups etc.

  • @rmstudio its not such leap of faith there have been plenty on ebay for under 60 bucks with free shipping. I am sure your stove is fantastic for what you want it too do, as is mine. After all if we all liked the same thing we would all be driving Mercedes Benz , who made the first practical automobile , and not the 1954 Chevy pickup, I currently drive
