Gas canister leak

[Tortoise]

This question has probably been asked before, but I can't find it.

I'm used to a bit of gas leakage when I attach/detach my Pocket Rocket stove from canisters. Sometimes none, sometimes some - which suggests to me a difference in canisters, rather than an o-ring or something gone in my stove. But on my last trip, one time I had a massive leak, including what felt like liquid as well as gas. The next times I attached/detached it, only a tiny bit of gas leaked.

Should I be considering a new stove for my next epic trip, or was it just a dud canister? Thanks for your thoughts.
Edit: it was a Jetboil canister

Just happens sometimes - it's the Lindal valve spring briefly sticking. Roger Caffin's page on stoves will give you more information that anyone reasonably needs (thanks, Roger

I had a can drain, couldn't get the effen thing to close in the same circumstances. Dodgy can valve.
Have been using 2 cans for 4 years since then-refilled many, many times and never happened again.
Just get another can. Should solve the issue.

Thanks, guys.

Probably human error in my case but woke up to an empty cannister once. So now I cook and then remove the stove. I never leave my stove attached to the cannister.

Also same same, there is always a bit of gas/liquid lost when screwing on and off the stove. Soto Amicus

Interesting, Crolly. I usually disconnect the stove overnight, in case of any leak. But sometimes if I'm wanting to make the gas go as far as possible, I take the risk. Mind you, I guess the amount that's usually lost when screwing on and off the stove is pretty insignificant.
