Honestly, I don't know enough about these connector styles to know what's common or not. I haven't looked at this since last summer, so I'll have to confirm that I have the stock connector on the unit, in which case I just need the replacement hose and regulator. But the notion that 10psi is "dangerous" is a little silly; anyone who thinks that needs to curl up undeby debugger - Mosquito Magnet
You're assuming that I have "an existing". Not the case. Mine came (used, of course) without, so I need something to try to bring it up with. And although I normally do appreciate the notion of "the thrill of the chase", I simply have too much going on right now to indulge in that.

Ah, maybe we're getting somewhere now. Seeing a stock cap without the gripping bumps (that the printed one has) clarifies that the slot is for turning it with the usual coin and not an air passage. I'm going to get it on there and fire this thing back up again for a day or two.

I'm not a 3D printing guy. The slot in the cap where I assume the CO2+octenol are supposed to fall out isn't open, which would seem to be confirmed by whaby debugger - Mosquito Magnet

One would think, but... No, I don't have a printer, but the pal who has my CO2 meter/controller does, giving me yet another reason to try to track him down this week.by debugger - Mosquito Magnet
Waitasec... If it's this obvious, colour me stupid. I don't have the little cap for holding the octenol cartridge. It was missing when I got it, but the cartridge that was in it was wide enough to just wedge in place. Same with the ones I presume(d) are NFG. The new one, though, is a little narrower, so I jamming a carpenter's pencil in alongside to keep it from dropping outby debugger - Mosquito Magnet

Has anyone determined what the stock controller's acceptable temperature range is?by debugger - Mosquito Magnet
Sounds plausible. A bad combustion mix could be messing up the attraction without being far enough off of temp spec to signal the controller. I was thinking about CO2 measurement; a few years back I built a CO2 meter/controller for grow rooms, and if I can track down my partner on that project I should be able to get it back.

Sure, but sometimes they don't bother because if there's nothing particularly unique or proprietary in the code, there isn't much point and they don't care.

That suggests that if I move it out to the door of the garage (this assumes they don't have a hidden breeding spot and lair inside the garage, of course) it should intercept them before they get to me at the bench ~20' inside.

I'm in southern Alberta (Canada), so octenol should be the correct attractant, and the mosquitos are mos def out. I'm testing this thing in my garage, and as I work in there they're drawn in large numbers to me and not the trap. The net basket looks okay, so I guess the next thing to do is just to open it up and see what the air path looks like. And just for the hell of it, sby debugger - Mosquito Magnet
I'm trying to get a used (new to me last fall) Defender running. Every outward indication is that it's operating properly, but it hasn't caught a single bug in days of operation. The startup sequence appears to be normal: The light blinks, the fan runs (at various speeds), and after the warmup period the light goes solid.

Hi, folks. Brand new here, so please bear with me as I ask some (inevitably) stupid questions. I'm just getting into these things - got a Defender last fall and a Pro more recently. The Defender seems to have just come up without any fuss, though it hasn't yet caught a single bug. At this stage my best guess is that the octenol cartridges I got with it were badly stored (the boxby debugger - Mosquito Magnet
