My torch is an Iwatani but my stove isn't. The stove was an impulse buy based in part on the fact that I knew they used the same gas cannisters. I agree the Iwatani stove would be better but you can buy four GasOne stoves for the price of one Iwatani. Since mine isn't a heavy use item but something I use occasionally I find it adequate for my needs. I will say, FWIW, that it's as good as the ones we're currently using [at the restaurant] were I work.
