I like using a premium butane that has 0 impurities 5X refined leaves no after taste. Pick up a small can for these lighters wont last very long.

Zippo Butane Fuel 5.82 OzSold by: BURN WholesaleThat's the butane fuel I used and it works perfect for all my refuel able lighters.

I use ronsonol or zippo fluid. I would worry BBQ fluid wouldn't burn as clean and leave a residue behind and gum up your lighter.

This type of fluid is for the old fashioned Zippo type lighters. IT IS NOT UNDER PRESSURE BUT IT WILL COME OUT RATHER QUICKLY WHEN FILLING THE LIGHTER. The ZIPPO fuel is the best and has almost NO SMELL OR TASTE WHEN IT IS BURNED. The pressurized fuel is usually butane. Zippo also makes lighters which use this and are called Zippo Blues.

These are refillable. I would recommend using the high quality butane like the Vector refined. http://www.amazon.com/Vector-Quintuple-Refined-Butane-Refill/dp/B0029D2YBO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1381768674&sr=8-4&keywords=butane It costs a litle more but I have found it makes lighters light every time.

Try using colibri butane if it doesn't work then the lighter broke this lighter only lasted me about two months so its a cheap lighter but when working it works well

Naphtha (the fluid used in traditional Zippo lighters) likely won't even go into a torch because even while empty the fuel chambers are slightly pressurized while bottles of naphtha aren't. You need a pressurized canister (like a can of butane) to get anything into the fuel tank.If using Zippo brand butane, the problem is more likely the fuel itself. Zippo brand butane is intended more for refillable Bic-type lighters and tends to not work well in many torches and torch type lighters. Brands such as Vector or Power (both common here on Amazon) are more refined and are better able to handle the high flow/burn rate of torches.

No the fill valve for any butane lighter is pretty much a universal size based in an industry standard. Quality of butane varies but you should be able to refill any refillable lighter, culinary torch or even curling iron with any brand of butane refill.

Vector premiium Quintuplus refined butane gas. Vector butane is strongly recommended for all hi-tech jet flame lighters. I don't sell it; I just use it.

You would have to be very careful. In "lighter" mode, it's just like any butane lighter, but in "torch" mode, it's an intense, focused jet that will burn through things and melt solder. If you don't need it to be portable, I recommend an electric heat gun. I use this one for heat-shrink tubing: 1 X ECG HG-300D Mini Heat Gun

I have two different types of butane gas burners and I find it difficult to get a low enough flame on both of them to properly cook rice, grains, or to simmer soups or stews without all the liquid boiling off. I wanted to know if there were any other portable gas burners that were more sensitive to being set at low temps!

I think you have the same burner I have and yes you can use any butane gas canister. Mine uses the 8 ounce that I bought from Ace Hardware. Works fine. I think there is an industry standard on the canisters so you can't go wrong.

I used zippo butane, if you live in the Midwest it can be found at a Meijer store. if amazon does not have it. I think amazon has everything so look around. good luck with your lighter,

If any butane will work this will. This is the cleanest most filtered butane I've found so far. It works great in my butane torch/soldering iron.

Great iron. But needs butane. I use butane from the smoke shop. Like zippo butane or some generic.

on the bottom of the lighter there is a "plug-in" for the tip of the butane fuel. Give the butane a few gentle shakes, keeping the butane and the lighter up right, "plug in" to the lighter and press firmly. A word of caution about the butane gas: it is extremely cold and could possibly burn you as in freezer burn. Hope this helps.

Butane. U can get a can for $3 at the store and it will refill it several times
