what kind of butane do you use?
 
I use Lava and X-Tend...

you?

Da Klugs 10-13-2008 10:38 PM

With some lighters it's a great big deal. Others, not so much. My blazer i think would run on refined vegetable oil. :)

Nothing but Lava here :D

croatan 10-14-2008 08:27 AM

Lava is my first choice, but I'll use King or Vector, too.

Vector and Lava here.

Vector here, I dont think I'll try putting Stewarts Lava in any of my lighters :rolleyes:

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Colibri fuel or Vector

Dandee 10-14-2008 07:59 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Depends on the lighter. I find that cheap lighters like cheap fuel. My Ronsons don't like the quituple refined stuff like Vector.

Ronson for Cheaper Lighters
Vector for Good lighters

It's a shame that Lava went bankrupt and is currently doing a reorganization of their business. I hope to see them back real soon. :tu

Lava :tu

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Never tried the lava, but I use Colibri myself since I have so many cans I got as a gift.

Mugen910 10-14-2008 09:10 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Ronson...but uhm...Greg Dunn keeps laughing at me with a bottle of 3x refined Vector in his hand. :(

VirtualSmitty 10-14-2008 09:36 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Lava. Gotta have good fuel for my super classy Ronson ;)

Stogeyfish 10-14-2008 09:37 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Lava! :tu

Whichever one doesn't screw up my lighters.

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
I use Lava, but I'm still working on my first cans....those are big cans!

The Professor 10-14-2008 10:09 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
i used to use vector; but i'm switching to lava now that I'm almost out. I've heard it can raise animals from the dead. :D

Da Klugs sporting the Da Bio-Blazer! I want one when it comes to market.

I really only carry a Colibri these days, so it get's whatever butane in a can is handy. If it starts to spit and choke, I empty it and fill again.

Mikepd 10-15-2008 08:47 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Colibri is my goto fuel since thats what we have here. I can also get lotus but since its the same exact stuff in a shinier can for twice the cost i pass on that.

BlackIrish 10-15-2008 09:21 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
I'd been using Colibri until I heard of Lava on some forum or other. Haven't picked any up yet, as I still have some Colibri left.

Do you notice a difference? How so?

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Since I use a Ronson lighter I just use Ronson fuel in it. :tu

md4958 10-15-2008 09:26 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
since ive been using lava, ive had no problems with any of my lighters

Benwoo 10-15-2008 11:23 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
I ended up buying some Xikar butane when I did my big CI run last month. I've been using some freebie lighters sent out with my order so that's probably more of the problem then the fuel.

field 10-15-2008 11:27 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Just killed a can of King, worked fine, got a new one of Lava.

TheRealJason 10-15-2008 11:32 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Yeah, I am stuck on the cheapies now too. I did pick up one at a liquor store that works pretty well though. It is a single flame, but lights everytime.

I had some Ronson laying around, that I used to fill up my freebie at first, but I have been filling it up with Vector each time after that.

bobarian 10-15-2008 11:34 AM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Lava or Vector. I like flamethrowers!

kfish 10-15-2008 12:31 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
I've been using Colibri but I'm gonna try Lava as soon as the Colibri can runs out.

Never heard of Lava (other than soap). I have been using Vector.

ucla695 10-15-2008 06:09 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Vector and Lava all the way.

TriStar 10-15-2008 06:14 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Colibri here. I'll buy their fuel but not their lighters :D

dunng 10-15-2008 06:32 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Vector... one even made the trip to the MassHERF! :ss

Neuromancer 10-15-2008 06:48 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Vector...and for the finicky lighters Colibri...

MTB996 10-15-2008 06:55 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Lava here, but I am running low and have a can of Xikar to take over.

Sailchaser 10-15-2008 07:59 PM

Used to use Lava but have recently been using Prometheus fluid. Works great in my Blazer and Tigers!

Boobar 10-16-2008 04:55 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Vector for me

Genetic Defect 10-16-2008 04:58 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
maybe I should ditch the colibri

pakrat 10-16-2008 05:03 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Lucienne when at home, the small can Colibri for road trips and camping.

Dood 10-16-2008 05:06 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Cheap old Ronson fuel is all I use. My Ronson's and my Blazer seem to work great with it.

King James 10-16-2008 05:12 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
vector is my butane of choice

Dgar 10-16-2008 05:12 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
Vector... I can pick it up cheap at the local William Sonoma. It keeps my X-tend very happy.

drob 10-16-2008 05:31 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
King Universal, for about 2 yrs now. No problems in my Blazer.

cre8v1 10-16-2008 10:03 PM

Re: what kind of butane do you use?
 
I use vector. Haven't had any problems at all.
