Hexamine Portable Travel Stove

By -
The Hexamine stove is portable and a great travel companion, it uses Hexamine Fuel Cakes also called as Esbit.

These cakes are supposed to be smokeless, odorless, should not liquidize or leave ashes behind.

I experimented with 1 of the 2 free Hexamine fuel cakes i got with the stove and even though it was smokeless and odorless while it was burning, as soon as i suffocated the fire, it gave out a nasty smell and it left sort of an ash mound......

Efficiency wise it took about  8-9 minutes to boil 350 ml of water and it was reduced to about 75 % of it's original size. The total time it's supposed to last is about 15 minutes with a flame temperature of 600 Degree C.




After some amount of research i found Yellow haxamine cakes from Flem-O which are supposed to be superior and each cake is supposed to last about 2 hours... yea that's what it says.. will put it to the test soon...

There are a lot of other alternatives like butane canisters, Alcohol or wood burning stoves.... but nothing comes close to the value for money and portability that the Hexamine stove offers.

Stove cost - 125 - 200 Rs. approx
Flem O -Hexamine Cubes 12 Rs. each approx

I will be using this stove shortly in high altitudes where the efficiency will suffer, if time permits i will post another video on how it handled itself.

If you intend to use this setup, as a Safety precaution one needs to use the stove out in the open and not in enclosed areas.... since Hexamine produces Toxic gases when lit.... which can cause serious harm in some situations... symptoms of poisoning would include but not limited to nausea, vomiting and kidney failure.

Sony Power Bank CP- F10L Review Battery Pack

Hi, this is a review of the Sony 10,000 mAh Power Bank - model CP-F10L The power bank uses Li- Polymer cells two of them 5000 mAh each, for those who are unaware there are two types of batteries usually used Li-Ion and Li- Ion Polymer also called as Li-polymer.. The later is more energy efficient and light weight but is costlier than Li-ion batteries. The real capacity of this cell is about 67 % i.e. 6700 mAh - this loss is due to factors like "Voltage Conversions", "circuit resistance" and other variable factors. It supports simultaneous charging of two devices with maximum 3.6 Ampere, so each port can easily output more than 1.5 Ampere. If you’re not sure what this means - take a look at your native phone charger , it will have an Ampere rating ... let’s say it says 1.5 Ampere...  So as long as the power bank supports 1.5 A the charge time would almost be the same.... if the power bank can change at an higher ampere that the pho

Error  (4-503): LaunchPad was unable to connect. Please check the network connection or try again later. If the problem persists, please visit https://help.daybreakgames.com  for assistance. This error stated appearing few months back and it’s been a pain to deal with, after researching and scouting various forums I found the below mentioned 3 workarounds, the third one works for me now, earlier the second one used to work, so chances are that one of the three should work for you. (I would recommend the “Solution 3” – watch the Video) Solution 1 ·          Go to game directory, delete or rename launchpad.exe ·          Rename launchpad.exe.bak to launchpad.exe ·          Launch the game, this might slightly longer than usual, this is because it’s downloading the 1 mb launchpad.exe.bak file. Solution 2 ·          Download the FILE ·          Go to the game directory and paste the “npdg0act.dll” file in there. ·          Login into planeside with
