We purchased a new stove and I've managed to source a 4.5kg calor gas cyclinder for it on Freecycle. I just need a regulator. I see on ebay there are some screw on one's and some clip on one's. Which are better?
I may be wrong, but I thought that the 4.5kg Calor cylinders only takes the screw on type regulator. All the 4.5kg bottles I have used in the past came with a thred.
I think it's just the larger cylinders which have the clip regulator. Personally I have never had a problem with the screw on type (as long I can find the spanner!)

OK, people. Thanks. I haven't really looked at the cylinder yet. I was just browsing ebay for a regulator and I saw this "clip on" which the advert says "Standard size for all Calor Butane cylinders (Blue!)". Seems misleading then.
Having checked out www.calor.co.uk/safety/using-calor.../Using-Calor-Gas-Safely-Butane.pdf I see that the 4.5kg must have the screw on and the bigger ones must use a 21mm one like in this ebay add. So the info in the advert is wrong, hence my confusion.
Yep, always worth checking first although under the cicumstances I am sure you would have been able to get a refund due to the advert being misleading.
I found a 4,5 kg butane bottle exactly like calors but with a clip on valve apperture discarded in lane , had a name on i had not heard of before tho. so i thought thats handy i wil l see if i can get it filled but coudlnt anywhere .
and its now an open topped fire pit incinerator instead .
They are different all over Europe. You can get adaptors & they can be re filled, but not without risk. That has been discussed to death on here so we'll leave it there I think!.
