i just got my Jetboil Flash off ebay (thanks for the info flatfoot- WOW what a saving compared to buying in Aus) and found that you need to turn the valve over two full turns before you can hear gas coming out. Thought it was faulty at first as i could not get it to ignite till it was nearly fully open. I found on other brands of stoves that you can hear the gas as soon as you turn the valve open. Does anyone else have this ? or is mine a dud?

I have a jetboil. I must say that mine turns on after only a slight turn. Sorry to say.

Once yours is ignited can you turn it down to a low flame? Or is full power your only option?

i can turn it right up and turn it down to a very small simmer. it just seems strange that i have to turn it over two turns to get gas going..

I guess as long as it starts without a hugh WHOOOSHHHH then there's no problem? I can turn mine only a few turns to get the gas started, but I still somtimes get the huge Whoooshhhh
