Yeah, my Vargo Ti-Triad is pretty cool! I have read a ton of bad reviews on it, but i don't think people really know how to use it properly. Make sure you have a good windscreen with holes on the bottom for air flow, fill up the stove all the way so there is a small pool of fuel in the top of the stove and i added a small peice of aluminum flashing cut in a circle to go under the stove as a heat reflector and it works like a champ. Boiled 1 liter of water at 38 degrees in about 9 minutes (in the REAL WORLD). Total burn time at 38 degrees with 1.5 ounces of fuel is 22 minutes (if you don't blow it out after boiling to save fuel).

Here's a link to the Vargo videos on it's use and operation:
