What kind of butane does this use of lighter gas/butane. Replace canister or refill? If a refill is there a view window to see when it's low?

I use Robinson Multi-Fill Butane available at Bed Bath & Beyond. There is no refill window of any kind and I have found that the gas leaks out over time so it's best if you only fill the torch with enough butane for each use. Otherwise it's a great product.

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.

I got the GasOne Butane Canisters. Works great. The canisters are easy to place in the portable butane stove and easy to remove when you are done using it.

Open but if you have any problems with filling it could be the butane can nozzle or you have excess air

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.

I forget how many the new lantern came with but the refill box has 3 butane cartridges and 12 pads. I butane cartridge is meant to be used with 3 pads over a 12 hour period. The individual pad can be used for shorter then 4 hours, just turn off the butane flame when you are no longer using the lantern. The pad turns white after about 4 hours of use so you know when to change it. Hope that helps

Sorry, no, this fuel is only for Zippo and other style lighters that use a liquid fuel sorce. Other "refillable " lighters use butane as the fuel source and comes pressurized in a can.

I don't think so, I bought Weller Premium Butane Fuel from hardware store and the can was ok for my refill.Adios Santiago

Yes, the torch is easy to refill. I bought it with the butane container suggested on Amazon, and that has a nozzle that fits into an opening on the bottom of the torch. Very easy...There is an adjustment for the flame, and I find it very easy to use. It also has a little lock mechanism below the trigger that you have to release in order to start the torch--a good safety feature.

To fill, you need butane canister. If it comes with tips for filling, try a few until the butane doesn't spray out. If it doesn't have the correct tip, you are not going to be able to fill it.

Hello! Both of the ones I purchased came with butane in them. You can adjust the output of the flame with a little thing on the bottom. Hope this helps!

I am at work and can't weight this item however, I cannot recommend you get this adapter. Mine was very poorly made, the stove would not screw on correctly and the connector at the fuel can leaked. Unless these are the only butane canisters you can get, avoid this. I would, on the other hand, highly recommend one of the other isobutane stoves you get for less than $10 shipped. They screw onto the very common canisters by MSR, Peak, Giga, Jetboil, etc. If you goal is to have a low to the ground stove for more stability with larger pots then just buy that type of stove. Every isobutane stove I have will fit the Kovea propane adapter that allows you to use the very common 1 lb green propane bottles. A fraction of the cost of regular isobutane via the canisters. And remember to hold on to all of your empties, both the isobutane and the 1 lb green bottles as they are refillable. Refilling them allows you to run a canister for pennies on the dollar VS a new canister and its good for the environment too. Good luck and see you on the trail.

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

yes, it has a valve on the bottom side, you need butane which can be purchased in any hardware store. There should be instructions included on how to refill it, but basically you turn it upside down remove the black rubber base and press the canister against the valve, when full it will spill out a bit, that is the cue to stop, it is important not to light it immediately, let the air circulate for a couple of minutes, it´s just safer.

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.

most of the small or large canisters that you will find in the stores are a butane blend, and they all work good. i believe that it would work.

Well I have been using the standard butane cans for lighters. I have different brands all will fill it from the bottom but there will be a lot of over spray.

I apologize but I have to ask the obvious just to rule it out - did you refill the tank completely and did you use the same brand of butane? I had a lot of trouble with my torch when I switched butane brands without first draining my tank. If so, I recommend contacting Blazer through their website. They are quick to respond and very helpful.
