JUMIA online E-commerce store have broad range of sizes like 4.5kg, 10kg, 12.5kg, 7kg, 5 and 6 kg. On jumia.com.ng, you can also order for the lite, transparent, less weigh 12.5kg propane cylinder bottle. I also found that the 12.5kg steel cylinder bottle found at Jumia website vendors is just slightly smaller and weigh less than the aluminum tanks and easy to transport.
In Nigeria, a 12.5kg refill alone costs more than buying a whole brand new 6kg bottle. However, when inspecting on Jumia.com.ng and Konga.com, I found the sizes to be different. The 3kg cylinder bottle is taller and narrower than those sold at local markets. You can also find also the same sizes - the 12.5kg, 13kg and 15kg. Just a few difference.
Jumia and Konga are the two main popular gas bottle online vendors, right after Jiji.ng. They offers big and small types of cylinder bottles. Recommended sizes for family, work or camping. If you are looking to buy gas cylinders in Nigeria, you will notice some have different size and shape. It is hardly you see a 47kg cylinder bottle sold over at Jumia or Konga websites. You can only see at Jiji.ng. They are exchange-only bottles for private exchange companies only. Flogas and Calor gas 47kg have the same easy screw-fit mechanism for their regulators, unlike the type of cylinder bottles used across Nigeria.
In Nigeria, avoid 47kg calor or flogas cylinder bottles. They are used for exchange delivery service in some countries. Why you buy these gas cylinders, you are actually hiring them. They are not yours, not your property. In countries like Nigeria, cylinder bottles are available almost anywhere. You can get from local shops or simply place an order online. Also, in black markets, some of these Calor-gas and Flogas cylinder bottles are shipped to the country illegally for sales. This including the 25kg gas bottle.
