I don't do any high altitude camping, but the upside down canister mode feature also comes in handy when the canister is almost empty. Just flip it over when the canister approaches empty and you can get a steady burn until its completely empty.
First stove failed to light. I tried multiple canisters, to no avail. I tested the canisters on other devices and they worked fine. I tried again and again, trying to troubleshoot problems. Nothing.
Amazon offered to send a replacement and I accepted, hoping I had a one time fluke stove.
The replacement stove arrived promptly. Right out of the box, the first canister I screwed on actually hissed out gas all over my hand. I made sure the threads were correctly aligned and attempted to attach multiple canisters. Again, nothing.
I made sure both stoves had the o ring. I made sure all canisters worked when connected to other devices.
Bottom line is both stoves are complete fails, right out of the box. Now, I have to risk Covid by going to a UPS store to return these units. So, buyers beware when considering the Optimus Vega. For that price point, there are very reliable stoves that will not leave you in the lurch, cold and hungry, out in the woods.
