Does this come with Butane in it or is it empty?

All butane tools, lighters are shipped nearly empty. The manufacturer can fill it with enough fuel to test the device, but transport some transport regulations & probably insurance companies require the devices to be shipped nearly empty.

it does not come with any butane. just go to your local hardware store and buy some butane, to order butane online would have ridiculously expensive shipping and handling because you're transporting gas.

As I recall it was empty. If filled there are shopping methods that wouldn't be available.

No it doesn't have one. But you don't need one when there is one on your butane tank.

You buy a can of butane at a local store and inject it. I live in a small town and have no trouble obtaining it.

I got my butane from a local Asian grocery here. Just went in and asked for some can gas...They also sell the Butane on Amazon.

Hi Jini, have you filled the butane holders with fuel? They do not arrive full.

Yes, but not much. You should buy extra cause of how fast it burns through and the flame is longer than most butane lighters

Mine came filled and the flame is adjustable with a "D" handle that swings down when you flip it open with a fingernail.Like most refillables, you need to use a very small screwdriver (pushing in on the valve in center of bottom) to make sure it is completely empty before you try to fill it, otherwise, it won't fill completely.Use a good (multiple-filtered) grade of butane (like Vector).These are usually good for 6-8 refills before the igniter mechanism jams. Ive had 10 or 12 over the years.

Yes, it comes with butane in it and since you can see the butane level, you know when it's ready to be refilled. To fill it, you'll need a cannister of butane that inserts into the bottom of the lighter. Great lighters, very reliable!

Have not filled mine yet. You should be able to buy lighter butane in a small can from Walmart etc. There is a small brass or copper hole in the bottom of match below the site guage. If you point this openenig up and push the can's plastic outlet tube down into the opening it should start to fill the lighter. with liquid butane. Good luck!

By law, they should not come with butane. Anything in them should be (at most) residual butane from them emptying it. Once you get them, use a small screwdriver or pen tip to vent off any air left in the reservoir. Then, fill it with appropriate butane. Fill valve facing up, press the butane nozzle over the fill valve, hold for a couple seconds, pull the can up, and repeat until the lighter is full. Simply (a) holding the can down will not fill the lighter (might work a few times, or light and go out), (b) try to *initially* fill it without emptying it.

It is empty and it runs off of lighter fluid, not gas. Zippo sells its own lighter fluid just for Zippos.

You have to buy butane separately. Amazon will ship to you. I am a professional chef, and just one fill up last a LONG time. I have only had to fill it twice, and I use it all the time.

It is very easy, just purchase the butane in little bottles at Home Depot or Lowes or any hardware store. The butane is has a cap which you remove and there is a little solid tube that is there. You just insert that tube into the rear of the solder unit and press the two together until you here a bit of a hiss. Very easy and cheap. I just used mine again today, still with no problems whatsoever. I do not endorse products easily but I really love this.

The propane tank is not included. However, they are easy to come by. You can purchase straight empty and fill it as needed or convenience stores have swap out cages set up. Make the initial purchase of filled tank for $50 and trade in when empty for a full for $20

It doesn't come with propane bottles. You have to buy those separately. It's designed to be portable with two 1 pound cylinders. One cylinder lasts about 3 hours on a low setting and two cylinders should last 6 hours. Running it on high will cut this time in half. A case of 1 lb cylinders lasted me 2-1/2 days running it 24 hours. It will get you through a weekend camping trip in a tent no problem.

You fill it in the bottom of the handle. I use Ronson butane fuel. It's not a liquid fuel like a Zippo lighter.
