From Campmor:
"Jetboil's Flash Personal Cooking System includes a heat-transfer system to increase output and fuel efficiency as well as thermocromic stripes on the cup that change color when hot so you know when your contents are ready. The translucent FluxRing cooking cup doubles as a measuring cup with easy-to-read lines and a translucent drink-through lid so you can see when your contents are boiling. It's both stylish and functional, integrating the personal cooking cup and stove for compact set up and fast storage with your choice of great colors! Temperature indicator is integrated into the 3 stripes of the neoprene cozy to show you when the cup contents are hot. Indicator light turns yellow when the water is getting warm and you are close to boil time. Fluxring heat exchanger on the bottom of the cooking cup creates excellent fuel efficiency. A translucent drink through lid lets you check on the contents of the cup so you can check if your water is boiling. Translucent measuring cup with easy to read lines unsnaps from the bottom of the cooking cup. Adjustable flame burner is housed in a windscreen, reducing heat loss when windy.

Flash Cooking System
Reviewed by Lifer-Powderhound in UTAH!, Oct 07, 2009

"I am going to rate this 3. 5 stars for one single reason, otherwise I would rate it closer to 5 stars.

The Piezo igniter is exposed when separated from the container. The insulation is thermally protective ceramic (it has to be).

Drop this stove once on rocks or a hard surface upside down and you will need matches or a lighter to ignite it for the rest of the life of the stove unless you get it repaired (always have matches and a lighter in a pocket stashed in your pack with this stove and every other stove)."
