Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Brunton Vapor AF Expedition Stove burns any liquid fuel you feed it, has a simmer function, and will boil your water in less than four minutes. Whether you plan to lead an expedition through western China, go climb in Peru, or go backpack for a week in Utah's canyonlands, you'll be psyched on the Vapor AF Expedition Stove. When you can't find butane at your locale halfway across the globe or even down the road, you can substitute white gas, jet fuel, auto fuel, and a variety of other canned, compressed fuels so you won't go hungry on the trail. All you need to do is turn the burner cup to adjust for any fuel-no need to fiddle with parts or replace jets."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"After winning about every major award, from Outside's "Gear of the Year," to Backpacker's "Editor's Choice," and Popular Science's "Best of What's New," Brunton decided it was time a to unleash the next icon generation Vapor All-Fuel Expedition Stove. Ladies and gentlemen, not only does it burn butane, but every liquid fuel too - white gas, kerosene, diesel #1, auto fuel, jet fuel and others. With a simple turn of the burner cup, you can adjust for any fuel you want to use without replacing jets or fiddling with loose parts. The new revolutionary design makes older-style liquid fuel stoves a thing of the past. It's convenience from a device that, until now, was never designed to be convenient. We've cleared off the next shelf in our trophy case for this one."

"I'm very pleased with this stove so far. I have over 40 years experience backpacking, beginning with the Svea 123 and later the MSR 9a stove. Since those days, I've used every MSR stove made as well as numerous stoves of other brands. My current favorite stoves are the Brunton Vapor AF and the MSR Reactor, both of which supplant the Optimus Nova+ in my affections."

"Buyer beware! Recently purchased the Brunton Vapor AF stove. Was impressed by the claim of adapting from liquid fuel to canister fuel with the twist of the ring surrounding the burner assembly. Advertising hype stated that it was the next step in stove design from the Brunton/Optimus Nova."
