To start out, thanks for the post. I was looking for a light weight camp stove and this post started me on the path to make my own. No one in my little town sold Venom brand energy drinks so I made a couple bud light stoves and a Heni-pot. On a recent trip I was excited to pick up some venoms at a gas station so I figured I would make one today.
Here is my build process and results:

Drill was used to make jets with a sewing needle. Makes good jets and cuts through like butter.
Initial impression compared to my bud light stoves: Venom has larger capacity and larger platform (a little too big for the Heni-pot but great for regular pots). Will work well when I need either more water boiled or longer burn time. I primed by lighting the center and it took a little longer then my bud stoves.
Over all glad I made it. Next stove project is a mini wood gas stove.
