Corona is fine beer,but I prefer Stella Atois. So maybe my lantern has to much power. It is a Petromax by design,but not an original.This clone was manufactured in the far east for a company based in the U.S. Techinally it is comparable ,but it lacks a bit of that Quality. I have been relentless in refining the lamp as best possible.photos will be available soon. This one has a stainless steel nozzle. Many thanks ,m...030

Thanks Jonas, for answering my questions. Iwill pay attention to the air and vapour mixture. Also the nozzle,though it does not appear to be worn. Permit me to ask another question. Has anyone observed the presence of a beautiful little blue flame around the mantle, when it's at full trottle? It resembles a( Halo).your feedback is appreciated. M....030

There is no hole ,but that piece which coils around the mantle gets red hot,after it s been running a long time. How many have you heard of that gets red like this? thanks.

Is it normal for the vapourizer to be glowing red hot? Does the metal get thinner from heating and cooling constantly? In general how long does the vapourizer last? Thanks ,anyone?

Looks good! Powerful white light. Really like the sound they make. Naptha is popular in north America ,sometimes called "white gas"it is similar in nature to Coleman Fuel used in lanterns, stoves etc. One should treat this fuel as they would Gasoline. M....030

Deisel ,that's true. Doesn't gasoline clogg up the nozzle though?(kinda sticky and gummy?) are you familiar with NAPTHA fuel?

Much respect for your knoweledge gentlemen. That was my observation as well ,regarding high or low. Next question. Has either of you experimented with other types of fuels? (I believe kero is king). But is there another fuel that might give kerosene a run for it's money? Diesel maybe?on a hot day. Appreciate your feedback. M.....030.

Light brightness. It seemed to not like running ,@around the 3:00 O'clock position. I mean it would try to go out,unless I crank it up again. No problem! But was just wondering if that's the way they are designed to work. Can the lantern continue running on very low ? meaning with the little valve (in tank)just barely open,regardless of the amount of air preassure in tank? With only the top half of the mantle actually glowing.(that's low). Jonas, Bjorn or anyone. Thx.m.....030.

Thanks for your intrest.The lantern is a petromax by design,but it is not German made.(500 k) .Still the overall quality is good.

To anyone who reads this. Please comment on the lantern's ability to run on lowest possible setting ,while using different fuels and considering ambient temperature? Thank you!
