55 forum posts 4 photos | It’s currently not possible to get new Calor gas bottles, only refills, due to a shortage of bottles. A colleague has now reported that Calor may be discontinuing the smaller bottles completely. Has anybody else heard this? Flogas confirmed this morning that they will be be continuing to supply the 3.9kg and 6kg bottles, so that is who I will use for my new blowtorch. |

![]() 3988 forum posts 1799 photos | Hi, about a month or so ago, I went to a local supplier to get a refill in exchange for my 3.9 Kg one and was told there was a real big shortage for them, had to go back next day and exchange a 19 Kg one instead. They can only exchange like for like, if you want a different size, it's a new purchase, and has always been that way since I've had any many years ago. Regards Nick.

One place that refused was I think down to the person not being aware as I am sure they had exchanged for me on an earlier occasion with no hassle. Mike Edited By Mike Poole on 23/10/2021 12:13:14 |
