I wouldn't trust that little vinyl hose to hold 250 psi, let alone 350 psi, also, the LPG canisters are not pure propane, the pressure would be too great for the thin canister to hold (the green Colemane propane can are much heavier duty), it's usually a mix of ~70%(iso)butane/30% propane.

Here's the adapter I have, made in korea and lightweight at only 27g, the older TOP&TOP version I have doesn't feature a check valve but the new ones does, there are also cheaper chinese ones made out of zink/brass but much heavier

And here's the adapter that lets you connect 2 LPG cans togheter (or a flat 220g can with the adapter) if you hate having bunch of half empty cans laying around

While we're on the subject, you might also want one of these KOVEA LPG adapters if you have one of those tiny backpacking stoves. Mine was $23.50 USD 4 years ago and that was the cheapest I could find.

G WORKS makes an adapter to use Coleman propane tanks on backpacking stove as well and is lighter (35g duralumin vs chromed zink/brass 105g)

Though quality is important , as it always is, there's no real risk of an explosion I think.
After all, this is just a solid machined metal part - it can't create a spark. The worst thing it can do is have a small leak.
I've had one of these for many years, but never had the need to use it. Or the guts.

I heard those pressure release valves on the tanks have a limited lifespan. The o-ring dries out and it doesn't like pressure fluctuations (it's a basic Schrader valve). So the worst thing is if it has a small leak in the trunk of your car.

It's a good idea to not refill tanks over a couple years old. If you dive in the dumpster make sure you get a Coleman tank which is supposedly better.

Also, I'd store the adapter in a secluded spot. If just by chance something blows up, you don't want the fire inspector to find it on your pegboard.

Made in China and propane and illegal all combined sounds like a stupid is as stupid does to save a buck or two. I got them for 4 for 12.99.

The logic is if you really use that much propane you should be using a big tank anyways.

There is a reason why you are not allowed to fill the big tanks too.

The street next to mine a couple of years ago had a guy burning something in the basement and his whole house burnt down. (2 million + up in smoke) lot is still empty. Not sure if insurance failed to cover the loss due to stupidity.

this is what I bought a few years ago. I forget the price at the time. At the time, the CDN dollar was at par with USD.
its great quality and has hundreds of good reviews. And I've used it without problems for a few years.
obviously.... the price is much higher than the ebay though.

30+ days is typical for stuff from China. If I get a delivery within 3 weeks I'm thrilled. With the last AliExpress 11.11 sale a few items took more than 60 days but I got them.

I also got mine last week. Took about 49 days. This long shipping times seems to become more and more the norm. Same for ebay stuff.
