What butane do you use to refuel it? I tried that zippo butane but the torch stopped working after I did. Please help me out.

I had these same issues. However, after inspecting this lighter just after refilling it, I found the little round twist at the bottom of the tank. This regulates the pressure of the gas coming out. As you use the lighter, you need to adjust this knob for the correct pressure so that when tank is full, it doesn't have so much pressure that it won't light. Once I learned this, the lighter works perfectly. I've had no issues since using the regulator twist.

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.

Try using colibri butane if it doesn't work then the lighter broke this lighter only lasted me about two months so its a cheap lighter but when working it works well

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

I still looking for the answers my self. I was able to get out work after trying on different days. The flame all the way up? not sure What made it fill.

Honestly, I don't think these are truly refillable lighters. Mine didn't work again either.

I've used all the brands, it's the regulator twist at the bottom of tank, you must adjust it. All the brands of fuel has worked for me. THe key is the regulator. If it won't light, then the pressure is just too high, adjust the twist, then it will work nicely. I like this lighter and it's worked well for me and DHs works nicely too. The product description doesn't tell you about this feature, I had to figure it out by looking at lighter under a 15x magnifier. LOL, then I found the regulator twist! I emailed the seller, but they don't seem to want to add this to the description. Bad seller, good lighter!

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 use butane that buy at my local cigar store but you can get some here on Amazon. .. turn lighter upside down and there is a small hole ...just put the spout on there and press down lightly.. you can see it refill via the tiny glass window on the back of the lighter

I got my butane from a local Asian grocery here. Just went in and asked for some can gas...They also sell the Butane on Amazon.

You should also have a lighter. This will start fire where a lighter will not ignite in wet conditions and this is good for hundreds of uses and your lighter will run out of butane. Has a flame source of 5400 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.

Oh, I use it for cooking all the time. I puts out more heat (may I say BTUs) than the "regular" torch I used before. And it takes the regular type of household butane like any other one (including your Zippo lighter). But it does consume a lot of gas - which makes sense, I suppose.

You have to use the best refined butane or it will clog. I used Vector quadruple refined butane. But there are other brands.

There is a small circular valve on the bottom. Any regular can of butane lighter fluid should work. Press the can into the hole and it will begin to fill with fluid. There will be some fluid that escapes while you are filling, that is normal.

You fill it in the bottom of the handle. I use Ronson butane fuel. It's not a liquid fuel like a Zippo lighter.

Butane. U can get a can for $3 at the store and it will refill it several times

You will need a butane refill bottle sold almost anywhere.There is a little valve on the torch that you insert the butane nozzle of the refill bottle into.

I am on my 2nd pack of 5. In each pack there was one that refilled a few times then the valves started leaking. The rest filled fine until the lighter died from other things. You must purge them before you refill them and always use very high quality butane else no lighter will work well when you refill them. The batch from last year was better than the batch I received just a few months ago.

If you lighter uses liquid fluid as combustible that can be poured for refilling, YES you can refill it with this. If your lighter uses gases like propane or butane, then you cannot use it. Those lighters need to be refilled into a chamber through a valve that keeps the gas under pressure. This Zippo lighter fluid has to be POURED to a compartment that has a plush that absorbs and keep it.

I bought this unit specifically to carry on my MC! There is absolutely zero chances for butane leakage plus there is no spark source in the Tool Roll anyway. I also carry a refill tank of butane as well as propane mini-tank for the camp cooker. In more than 20 years of summer MC touring I have never had a problem with this soldering torch or those that preceded it...

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

No sorry that wouldn't work. You need something like this - http://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Butane-3807-Fuel-42gm/dp/B004K9IJ8M/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403467800&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Butane+can+refi%3B%3B
