I tried it for the first time at the ITG in Banff two years ago and bought a case to give my friends. All seemed to really like it but can't seem to find out who sells it in the US. At last years ITG I talked at length with the guy who actually formulated it and it's quite a process getting special ingredients from Italy and other places before it goes in the bottle. To be honest, the oil I make [UltraPure lamp oil with ten drops Breakfree gun/clip oil per oz.] is better and costs me about the same for a gallon as the Wick oil does for a 4oz. bottle. My UltraPure lamp oil is not to be confused with the valve oil using that name by the way. It's a product that has the registered trademark "UltraPure" that has been made in Wisconsin for years and is 100% parafin oil made for use in Tiki type backyard lamps. The Breakfree is a petrolium oil which mixes well and adds the required viscosity to the UltraPure.
