What type of butane is best to refill it with?

You can go to pretty much any drug store and ask the person for butane all butane is the same so your all set

Zippo is pretty good or anything that says 'triple refined'. Before you fill it be sure to vent it first by pushi down on the hold with a nail or pen. The gas coming out May be cold so wear gloves or be very careful. Vent until empty, refill, then wait about five minutes to give the temperatures a chance to equalize.

I don't know. I ended up throwing this away. This lighter never worked for me.

The aerosol kind. But seriously, refilling the little bastard was impossible for me. Best of luck!

I don't think so, I bought Weller Premium Butane Fuel from hardware store and the can was ok for my refill.Adios Santiago

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.

To fill, you need butane canister. If it comes with tips for filling, try a few until the butane doesn't spray out. If it doesn't have the correct tip, you are not going to be able to fill it.

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.

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 personally like and use both. Butane works better in the out of doors on a windy day. But I love my zippo pipe lighter that use regular fluid.

Well I have been using the standard butane cans for lighters. I have different brands all will fill it from the bottom but there will be a lot of over spray.

I use butane that I buy at home depot. There is a small valve on the bottom of the burner that easily fits the butane canister.

You should also have a lighter. This will start fire where a lighter will not ignite in wet conditions and this is good for hundreds of uses and your lighter will run out of butane. Has a flame source of 5400 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.

I use Robinson Multi-Fill Butane available at Bed Bath & Beyond. There is no refill window of any kind and I have found that the gas leaks out over time so it's best if you only fill the torch with enough butane for each use. Otherwise it's a great product.

I filled mine up with Butane no problem. I'm not sure what you mean by lighter fluid like Zippo type stuff? If it is that then you can't use that type of fuel, butane works fine.

I prefer the regular lighter fluid for its ease of refill, economy, reliability, and soft flame. If you let the regular lighter 'breathe' for a moment, you won't draw a fuel taste into the pipe. A disposable butane or a match is sometimes easier to use for the initial char if you pack the bowl too tightly, but you are less likely to burn the bowl rim or your fingers with the regular Zippo. My liquid Zippo is 50 years old and lights every time. I've had expensive butane lighters that became frustratingly unreliable in less than a year.

You just purchase a butane refill can insert the tip of the refill can into the bottom of the torch and it will be refilled.

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

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