Turns on and off, how it works is a butane cartridge that heats up the pad which has this distinct scent that mosquitoes don't like but very faint smelling to humans.
The repellent pad will last for about 12 hours of usage before the repellant is burned off. It's blue and will turn white as it gets used up. When it's used up, you just slide in another pad.
I didn't notice it! Rechargeable definitely worth it over having to buy butane cartridges!SecretSauce wrote: ↑ The repellent pad will last for about 12 hours of usage before the repellant is burned off.

So yes you could get 12 individual hours out of the pad, but you'll probably need to recharge the battery in between.
This is the battery version not the butane version. I think the battery will last up to about 5-6 hours on a charge.
Oh that sucks! I was wondering why they would lose out on those super expensive butane refills, now this makes more sense.

Right now in the wood with one at one feet from me and still lot of bugs around me. I think the butane version with pads work better from what I've seen, you can refill it cheaper using small mod and you can buy way cheaper pads from aliexpress
Edit : right now and until there is cheaper refill available, I think the butane one with pad are way cheaper to maintain but you'll have to deal with refilling butane instead of just recharging. I kind of regret that I bought the rechargeable one for 70$ + 30$ refill instead of butane one directly
Interesting... Didn't know that the others weren't supposed to be vaporized as well. Do you mind sharing what the "alternative" is? I assume it's just pesticide with permethrin in it?
