We got ours in March at a cost of 18.00 but like bbr56 havent seen them around and worried that we may have to change it and then end up with the old type again!

You'd have thought as the empties were returned they would be replaced with these new ones gradually getting rid of heavier ones.

PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR REFILL FROM SOUTHAMPTON CALOR GAS CENTRE, MILLBROOK ROAD, SOUTHAMPTON

I have just read this tread and notice that you are all paying £18.00 for a refill, I popped along this week with two normal 6kg empties, the girl in the shop said she only had one calorlite so i had one of each, but was charged £18.50 for the normal one and £22.50 for the calor lite,

I will not be getting them refilled there again.

I thought all calor refills charged the same price, would have shopped around first.

We got ours from Anglia Gas Centre in Peterborough ready for this weekend as we had run out.  The cost was £18.50 and it didnt have the GasTrac on it.  When I queried this it seems that Calor's supplier has had a problem .... more like they didnt forecast the demand properly and ran out! 

Homebase do the BP ones for 19.99 for10kg.  Which is the better buy?

Couldn't get themin old van but can in new one may use them,more gas for less money. 

Homebase will not take calor bottles but as long as you show them the calor ones you have you can get BP ones without paying the full rental.

I can't see why everyones suddenly GOT to have the new bottles, we've all managed perfectly well before. Anyone who thinks otherwise just ask yourself what you'd have done for gas if calor hadn't brought them out at all?

most need to reduce nose weight but for us as we only carry one 6kg bottle and these are half the weight i could then carry two without increasing the weight.

We bought two of these today at a cost of £18.75 each. We took in two old-style Calor bottles (one large, one small) and had them exchanged without quibble. This was at Salop Leisure in Shrewsbury,

I was amazed at how light they actually were - I even asked the chap if he had given us empty ones by mistake LOL
