One thing nobody can argue with and that is, with the Tamisium you can do most of the work indoors, and hence in private. You need only do the final vent outside. I know how , for lack of a better word awkward it is to dump 3 cans of butane down a tube, in front of GOD and everybody.
Okay GOD will see you work in your kitchen, but the neighbors don't need to watch you.
Always one bonehead that is the exception to the rule, and in this case Moi. I never run either a Terpenator or a Lil Terp indoors, unless it is in one of our exhaust cabinets, because as a retired engineer, I've seen perfect mechanical things go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong.................
On both the Terpenators and the Lil Terp passive system, I've had to tighten valve packing, wipe down seals, and do minor tweaks to keep them sealed, and I've observed human error setting up extractors, which did or would have resulted in leaking butane to atmosphere. Never under estimate human error............
I've also had the pleasure of fondling a Tamisium 175, and note that it also uses orings, and ball valves with the same opportunities for failure, as well as check valves, which are notorious for weeping in industry.
Not dinigrating Tamisium, just stating that it is safer running them outdoors or in an exhaust cabinet.
