how do you refill the butane
593543
With a butane cartridge from the store; the same ones used to refill lighters.

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.

Sam, Refill is the similar method as that of a butane cigarette lighter. The Refill connection is on the bottom. Invert Solderpro, plug-in and firmly hold the butane refill can [Lenk has a 1.5oz can Model LBF-15].Keep filling while observing the Solderpro window until liquid level about 80% full. Filling is a gravity feed, so maintain upside down vertical positioning throughout.

You can refill the lighter yourself by removing the lighter insert from the case, which is quite simple because it slides out easily. When the insert is removed, you will see a screw on the bottom of the insert. Carefully remove the screw, and a spring will slide out...just drop a new flint into the hole and replace the spring and tighten the screw.

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.

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.

Hope this helps; Yes you have to by butane cans separately in order to keep the torch going. When you refill the torch with the butane there is a fuel gauge showing how much is left or how much more it can hold. I personally use 5x refined.

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.

Uses "refill" butane. No window to see fill amount---however, this torch is spot on---if it does not turn on, add butane and it immediately lights, which means the "fill was low". I had Meistermeisser and it failed miserably.

It uses butane lighter fluid. Any smoke shop carry the bottles. You just refill it whenever you run out.

Use the butane cartridges they sell in any pharmacy. Thermacell refill. They are easy to find.

You need butane. Flip the torch over on the bottom of the handle there's a little hole, you flip your butane over and press the nozzle into the hole on the torch. It will hiss a bit keep holding until you see a puff of gas. When it does that it's full. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

There is a small nipple on the bottom - just insert butane refill into there, and press.

Mine that came yesterday had butane already filled. How did I know I tried to fill it and found very quickly it was already filled. This should be made clear in the specifications.

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.

Yes, the Zippo butane will refill these, but beware, the lighters are junk.
