Does this fuel have the same kind of push nozel as the Zippo 5.82 butane fuel cans, or is it suitable only for Iwatani torches?

Sorry, they are suitable for the Iwatani Torch. It is a push and twist to hook it up.

There's a fitting on the bottom of the torch that fits the butane. Turn the torch upside down, fit the butane dispenser to the fitting, and push. Very simple.

I use regular nitro fuel from the local hobby shop top fuel plus, but it is 20% so I would say yes!

Not 100% on this but am pretty sure you can use other fuel cans as long as they have similar tops for attaching torch.

I think that the BU6 is made for the Iwatani gas stovetop burners, they are 7.8 ounce and fit on a heated metal plate to vaporize the gas. I do not know the system used in the torches, I would say buy the one that is designed for your system to be sure of compatibility. This one indicates on the can that it is for use in the cassette stove.

Kenny,Hello. I bought the 5x filtered butane and it is the best I have ever used. No flutters. And the nozzle tip is plastic.John

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!

While I don't believe it would be dangerous, this torch is designed for MAPP and propane. If you used isobutane, which has an extra carbon in its chemical formula, you might get a flame temp not as hot as you were expecting. The reason is the orifice is designed to admit enough air to burn a 3-carbon gas like propane. A 4-carbon chain requires more air on a proportional basis. I would try it and see what you get, but only if the butane tank access fits the torch. If you get any trace of yellow in the flame, not enough air is being admitted to completely burn the butane. As such, the flame will have a lower temperature, and could even deposit soot on your work. If no yellow, you still may not be out of trouble. Butane liquid "boils"in the tank at a higher temperature than propane. So during prolonged use of butane fuel at maximum flow rate for the torch, the flame may eventually go to a lower level, unless you were to supply warmth (ungloved hands, warm water) to the butane tank.

I have used other brand of butane fuel and Iwatani with this unit. The Iwatani fuel can just has magnetic which make it fit tighter. But, I couldn't tell difference on performance.

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.

Yes, it does. Manufacturer claims that only Iwatani butane fuel cartridge should be used with this unit.

If you're using liquid Zippo fuel. Your Butane Torch is probably junk. Zippo fuel is a petroleum liquid like gasoline. Not a high pressure gas as needed. Get BUTANE or better yet stop smoking altogether. Give your Grey Matter a chance, and society a break.

the can has the normal injection tip , should work with any butane torch . cleanest butane for best price

This torch uses the standard butane fuel. Here is a link to what I use. Zippo Butane Fuel, 165gm

Yes, it is very easy to refill using a standard size butane refill can. I use Zippo brand butane in a 4.5oz can and I'm guessing it will provide at least 25 refills. Yes, there is a an adjustment for high/low flame and you will normally keep it on the low, low setting. The high setting turns this thing into a major flame thrower and will use up the fuel supply rather quickly! Very easy to use. I primarily use it to quickly light a number of candles around the house, but it is also perfect for creme brulee and many other cooking and utility torch needs.

backpacker's butane works really well, Got my fuel @ Walmart for around 4-5$$
