The refill valve on this torch is bigger than the nozzles on my butane lighter refill canisters. How do you refill it without leaking any butane?

i haven't had that problem you just line up the two parts and press them together the butane refill cylinder nozzle does not 'click in" to the re fill port. once it is full butane will start to spray out the sides that's how you know its full

I have never had a problem filling mine, some butane aerosol cans have adapters built in to the cap you may need.

I use canisters available from Home Depot or Tacoma screw products with no problems

I've never had a problem refilling my torch. I don't know what type of refill canisters you use, but I use Vector 5x butane, and the canister stem fits right into my torch refill valve. Check the cap of your butane refill canisters. They may have adapter nozzles like my canisters to fit different size valves. I hope this helps.

Mine arrived full, if you buy this be sure to refill it with high grade butane. The cheap lighter stuff is worthless and will permanently clog this torch. Most the bad reviews are from people who put crappy fuel in them. Also it takes weeks for it to arrive

Though most qualities of butane will work with this unit, I believe you will get a longer useful life from this torch by using a cleaner, refined butane. I noticed some clogging on mine from using a standard quality butane at times.

To answer your question directly, no. The safety valve (the small valve off to the side) is not opened by this. That's one of the weaknesses of refilling your own. Unless you have some way to vent gas, you will only be able to partially fill the 1 lb. tank. But; you'll still be able to re-use and refill them. Just don't plan on being able to get more than about 3/4 lb of propane back in the bottle. This is common to all the refill devices.

I use Vector Quintuple Refined Butane Gas Fuel Refill.I would think any butane gas would be fine.

Fill with butane - purchased in any hardware store - through the small round port on the side of the handle below the lock switch. Refilling instructions should be on the handle

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.

I have not been able to refill mine either. Bought 10 and 8 worked for a few flicks and that was it. I have a regular can of Ronson butane and it does not fit correctly - gas escapes rather than fill the lighter

Mine came full. just get a can of butane. zippo canister on amazon. ( http://amzn.to/14xgsgY ). stick the nozzle in and refill like J Halbach described below. watch this video from youtube for more in depth step by step instruction: (http://bit.ly/clWoY4). all else fails, take it to a local cigar/tobacco shop, plead mental disability, and ask for help. good luck.

No you do not have to fill the torch entirely in order for it to work. When I first used it I just put alittle it to test it. I filled mine a week ago made 20 tarts and it still has butane in it. No haven't had any leaking problems at all.

No, it does not come filled with butane. You need to buy a can of butane and fill it up from the hole in the bottom of the torch (once you take the stand off the bottom).

I had the same issue, on the bottom where you put the Butane in (there should be another tube around it) you'll see that it has indents, use something small like a flathead screwdriver and twist it to the left increasing the power of the lighter and it should work.

A little difficult until I read the instructions. They're on the back of the lighter package towards the bottom. Refill hole is on the butt of the lighter. I hold both the lighter and butane container upside down about eye level, insert tip of container into hole, push and watch it fill in window on lighter. Hope this helped.

According to the label on the can, it works for all butane lighters. I have only used Zippo lighters so I can't tell you more than that. The can has a pointy nozzle which gets placed into the fill hole on the lighter. Then you press down on the can (can is upside down) and the butane fills the lighter. I hope this has been helpful.

Yes, it is refillable. You will need to purchase a small (~6.6 oz) Butane gas canister. I found them at the local Lowe's; probably other hardware stores may carry them. Take the cap off the Butane canister, and you will see a long plastic tip with a hole in the center. Turn the Blazer upside down, and you will see a cutout in the base. Looking closely inside the cutout, you will see a small metal tip with a hole. Take the butane canister and carefully slip the tip over the tip in the Blazer base. Hold them together well and then shake the two of them together about 10 shakes. You should begin to feel the Blazer getting cold. Take them apart, recap the Butane canister to use again when the Blazer is empty. You will be amazed at how many refills you can get from one small canister. NOTE: Refill away from any flames, just in case you mis-align the tips and the gas is not going into the Blazer. Stop immediately and realign and start again. It really quite easy. Good luck!

Take your butane filler and stick the nozzle in the silver hole on the under side of the torch. Press down the butane tip into that hole and hold it there until the torch is fully fueled. Wait a few minutes while the fluid comes to room temperature in your torch pin and fire it up.

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.
