Some people have claim that it leaves a slick oil but im wondering if that's just unburnt butane and water?

Are you talking about spraying into glass to test for residue? Vector should be clean of all residue. But if you spray it onto glass and see colorful residue it not purged enough from the company.There would be no water, ' instead of unburnt' I think you mean unpurged? And if so, yes unpurged oil will be very fluid. Until it's hard at room temperature (70c ) it is not stable and not finished. I think what you are asking is " why is my oil soupy?" If so then you used too much butane and there is still a lot of purging left to do.

I haven't seen anything like that anywhere other than on the driveway where I park my car, but I can't imagine that's from the butane. ;-) Seriously, the butane works great. (Bleed the air out of the device you're filling.) I ordered the Quintuple Refined, but they sent me Vector Filtered 14 for the same price.

Some, perhaps. The water is heated slightly, only a small portion, to create the steam/mist. The oil is mixed into the water. After an hour of continuous use, the water level barely drops.

I've used mine in water and around water. Was never slippery for me. Have never had oil on my hands.

You can control how much butane it is burning, but not directly the temperature of the tip. I've noticed that even on the lowers setting, it gets quite hot. I like it because it's quick and portable, but if you're looking for a precision instrument, this isn't it.

No, it just puts out a fine water vapor mist, along with whatever oil you've added. I didn't like mine so I returned it. Neat little product, but the function just wasn't as dramatic as I was hoping for.

We travel with our unit, we so limited grilling, we have not noticed any dripping from the unit. We had purchased this unit because our camping buddies had it and was very impressed by it.

It is the consistency of oil, but a little more concentrated. It does have a pump top.

It sits in the oil. If you're concerned about cleaning it, I don't consider it a big deal. The heating element is a decent size.

I have not experience any butane leak. I have stored it for weeks, and still butane is full.

None at all I'm very pleased with this grill. I don't keep it outside, after I grill I always wheel it back into the garage. It's very sturdy and love the option of propane and coal. Hope this helps.

No, its uses a special type of oil/water thing. I suggest you return them and buy new ones.

Ive had mine 2 yrs and although discolored, still works great, Never put oil on it though.

It was oiled when I got it and it's still a little greasy after a couple of months. I'm not using it for anything but to retain its carbon steel composition, I would grease it up every few months.

When heated it turns into a oily substance. Cooled back to a soft solid. It was most likely a little melted from the heat of the truck

The butane is turned on and off and last for more than one pad. We have also used the pads for more than one time if it was the next night or two.

It might be lightly oiled... We oiled it first thing and it sucked up a bunch.

I don't leave the butane canister in the stove for safety reasons. I only use the burner outdoors. Hope this was helpful.
