can you fill a zippo type lighter?

This is used for cook stoves for camping and I don't think it could be used for what you need.

I don't think so. This stuff is pressurized butane. Zippo's use a squeeze bottle of lighter fluid. I used to use Ronson brand

No, the bore of the stem on the valve is too large to fit the valve on a butane lighter.

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.

Yes you can but it has a poor igniter so buy a bar b que lighter other than that it's okay for the money

This type of fluid is for the old fashioned Zippo type lighters. IT IS NOT UNDER PRESSURE BUT IT WILL COME OUT RATHER QUICKLY WHEN FILLING THE LIGHTER. The ZIPPO fuel is the best and has almost NO SMELL OR TASTE WHEN IT IS BURNED. The pressurized fuel is usually butane. Zippo also makes lighters which use this and are called Zippo Blues.

No. You'll need a match/lighter. I'm very happy with this purchase btw. Exceeded expectations - good value.

Yes. Go to home depot or comparable store and buy Bernzomatic brand. I think the fill port is rather universal and you may even be able to use a brand for filling cigarette lighters - not sure on that but worth trying.

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 have to fill it up with Butane. It works like a charm. It's much better than my other lighter.Don't try toget on an airplane with it tho.

Online or at a drugstore, gas station, or smoke shop (wherever cigarette lighters might be sold). You fill Zippos with butane I believe.

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

No. The Zippo lighter fluid is sold separately. It's not very expensive and a similar fluid can be found in the US at most Super Markets.

Naphtha (the fluid used in traditional Zippo lighters) likely won't even go into a torch because even while empty the fuel chambers are slightly pressurized while bottles of naphtha aren't. You need a pressurized canister (like a can of butane) to get anything into the fuel tank.If using Zippo brand butane, the problem is more likely the fuel itself. Zippo brand butane is intended more for refillable Bic-type lighters and tends to not work well in many torches and torch type lighters. Brands such as Vector or Power (both common here on Amazon) are more refined and are better able to handle the high flow/burn rate of torches.

This Zippo pipe lighter has the same cotton-fill & wick as a regular Zippo. It needs lighter fluid to work.

I used zippo butane as well and it broke. It's probably the lighters poor quality.

Yes, the Zippo lighters are not air right so the fuel does evaporate a lot quicker. You can buy the liquid fuel pretty cheap so I just try to keep some handy. Even with having to refill often, it is still my favorite lighter for pipes.

This 12oz can will probably fill 12 to 15 of the Zippo lighters or fill 1 lighter 12 to 15 times. That's a guess.

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.
