It's a neat marketing shtick too, most people don't realize the difference, including the people who write the ad copy at the vendors, so they write refined and VectorKGM sits back and makes no moves to correct the claims.

It's highly unlikely that words like "5X Refined" mean much. They have no meaning in the engineering world that produces and refines butane or other fuel gases. Butane can be purchased in bulk at various purities. You don't know how it got that pure. If Vector or one of its competitors chooses to buy high purity butane, that's good for us. But, the words on the label are really no guarantee of what's inside. Only experience or a laboratory test would tell you if its pure enough.
