Why are you suppose to turn the flame adjustment all the way down before you refill a butane lighter? I do not notice any difference when refilling any of mine.

LOL, that is just cool mate. Rothnh does seem to have alot of knowledge for a fact, which is good. Otherwise ya'll would be stuck with someone like me. Now, I also have alot of knowledge, but, unfortunately it is all wrong. hahahahah
I use Dunhill Butane, It's very expensive, but know this doesn't always mean quality.
I have heard a few problems with Zippo Blu butane so I didn't get it.
Sadly here in the UK our butane is rubbish!
Anyone had experience with Dunhill Butane?
I guess it can't be bad, Dunhill recommend you use that butane with their £230.00 Old Boy style lighters here in the UK

Thank you, rothnh, for that great advice.
I looked over my can of butane and thought it was a local product (Hebrew writing all over) until I looked at the bottom and saw 'made in China."
Oh, well... :roll:

It's really basic, the better grade of butane is going to keep the lighter out of the trash longer.
Hi Rothn, I contacted both the companies you mentioned last time. I spoke to Lindsay and said she doesn't deal with butane and the other number, no one answered.
I have looked all over the sites and called numerous companies, none of which sell Xikar butane?
In fact Lindsay spoke to me as if I was an idiot!

FWIW, for those in the states, I picked up this 5X fuel and it's been stellar. On top of that, 5 mos later I am still on my first can and it doesn't even feel half empty yet (using it daily and often):

For just $32 for a case of 12 (which is what I paid) I believe I am all set for the next decade as far as butane goes.

PipeB go to Amazon and get the Vector refined fuel, I believe I got 3 big cans for a little over 30$, it has been filtered 5 times, I gave one to Cajundad and I"m still on my initial can going back to Feb 2012, lasts a long time The old cajun
Pipe8 here an out of the box suggestion, got any American military bases near you? PXs have butane, friend a military pipe smoker and Viloa , you got butane. The old cajun
I see Visol triple refined Butane made in UK for sale on Amazon, do they not sell it in the UK? The old cajun
I can get my hands on, Dupont, Dunhill, Colibri and Newport,
I have heard bad things about Colibri, not much on Dupont and Newport.
I just chose Dunhill because of their reputation. At £4.19 ($6.57) for 90ml, YES 90ml! I hoped it wouldn't clog the Old Boy!

We can also get Zippo Blu, again, heard poor reviews from the Americans, but us Brits don't care and use any rubbish. Pipe smoking isn't anything like it is in the US, most settle with matches or a cheap Bic.
Most people will use Swan or Ronson butane (the most common and well known butane in the UK), the cheapest rubbish ever and they don't mind if the lighter is a pig to light! Strange, but it would annoy me!
