So I think I am using my Thermacell wrong. I used it the other day when I was stalking and it worked great. Today I used it while walking to my spot, it worked fine. I sat down no more than 2 minutes after sitting under the tree I start to get eatin alive by these dang mosquitos. I out it in my lap, I hung it next to my head, put it by my side. The only area that was protected was the immediate 3 square inches around the darn thing. When I am stalking it sits in a pocket in my vest (grill exposed). I have held it vertical and horizontal no difference, the mat was and is still blue. I might have used it for a total of 2.5 hours since I bought it. I think I covered all the bases. If anybody has tips on how to use this thing, or tell me I am using it wrong (and correct me), it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Very dumb question......but did you light it?
Not dumb typically its the most simple thing like that, that get overlooked. But yes I did, and after 10 minutes of sitting I went to light it again just incase I forgot too. No change.
I've never had that happen with mine. I have had them go out when I lit them at the truck and stuck it in my bag on my way in the woods. I've had one light and then go out for no apparent reason too. I just threw one away after 3 seasons because it was just wore out. Is yours old?
nope just bought it last Wednesday
