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,

This will NOT refill vintage Dunhill Rollagas lighters without an adapter. Some premium butane fuels come with adapter tips; this does not.

purchase a refill can of butane at a hardware store. Push the fill stem into the bottom of the lighter (holding the can of butane pointed downward) and hold until butane fills the lighter.

Any type of butane will work. Just be careful with the lighting mechanism, not very stronge and will break

Mine that came yesterday had butane already filled. How did I know I tried to fill it and found very quickly it was already filled. This should be made clear in the specifications.

I'm not sure if the previous people bought their lighter from a different seller than me, but mine did NOT come filled with butane. I contacted the seller and he confirmed that because they ship from China, they have to remove all the butane so it can pass customs. He offered to reimburse me 1 whole dollar for the cost of butane. BEWARE if you are buying from a seller in China, this will NOT be ready to use when it arrives.

There is a small circular valve on the bottom. Any regular can of butane lighter fluid should work. Press the can into the hole and it will begin to fill with fluid. There will be some fluid that escapes while you are filling, that is normal.

I've purchased 2 of these and don't really recall the butane situation. In any case you will need a refill cylinder since they won't heat up to maximum temperature unless you keep them pretty filled. I would assume that they are shipped dry since they light without a problem when loaded.

Sam, Refill is the similar method as that of a butane cigarette lighter. The Refill connection is on the bottom. Invert Solderpro, plug-in and firmly hold the butane refill can [Lenk has a 1.5oz can Model LBF-15].Keep filling while observing the Solderpro window until liquid level about 80% full. Filling is a gravity feed, so maintain upside down vertical positioning throughout.

The torch is very easy to refill. All you need is a standard butane refill canister (the kind used to refill butane lighters). You flip the torch upside down and press the butane refill canister to the refill port.The flame is adjustable: not just high/low settings but intermediate settings too.It's really easy to use. I've only used it to brulee sugar on creme brulees, but it seems like it would work on anything.

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.

There actually isn't a cartridge. Butane comes in a very small container that can be purchased at most gas stations. I bought one from a store that sells commercial kitchen supplies. Costs less than $5 and the nozzle of the container fits underneath the torch. Press it in and the butane fills the torch and when a small amount of gas comes from the nozzle you know the torch is filled. Very very easy.

I use Max Burton butane cartridges which I can find at our local Ace Hardware. Probably available at Amazon, too.

The canister sold here on Amazon are fine, I would think any brand would be about the same, I hunted for the best price. The canisters are larger than the ones you find for refilling a lighter, and with shipping cost, around 2.00 - 4.00 each. Each canister lasts threw several days. I used mine mailing to heat water and make small meals for one during two week long power outages last fall, and am on my second canister. Butane is hotter than propane, takes a lot less time to boil water, and watch your food close! It will burn quickly! These stoves are great for emergencies, or camping.

I just use Ronson or similar butane refills and I have never had any problems.

Just regular lighter fluid, butane. It does run out really quick, but it's pretty awesome, worth the fluid :)
