I was unaware that the Whisperlight now came in a model that worked with both Butane and liquid fuels. Interesting.

This is the type of adapter you need to put one of those tall skiny canisters onto a stove that is designed for the threaded connector.

Shipping from Asia can be a bit slow, especially now when a lot of passenger aircraft are grounded.

My Primus Omnifuel works with Butane and liquid fuels, but I find it is simpler to just carry a Butane stove when I am using that fuel, I tried the Omnifuel once with Butane to see if it worked, it did. But otherwise I only use my Omnituel with liquid fuels.

The Omnifuel uses a different jet for Butane, so takes a few minutes to change a cold stove from one fuel type to the other. And if I am carrying the Omnifuel, it is because I planned to use liquid fuels instead of Butane.
