Re: Ronson Butane Fuel Problems, yes or no?
I've had problems with Ronson fuel in almost everything I've ever used it in: JetLites, Blazer soldering torches, master appliance cartridge torches, butane powered portable soldering irons & heat shrink guns (they end up sputtering at the flame screen) & colibri soft flame lighters. The only thing it's worked in for me are those cheap 8" long stem lighters that you get at the $1 store for lighting BBQ's, fireplaces, candles etc... (but not without modification - I had to disassemble the lighter and move the flame adjuster lever back about 1/2 a turn so that it opens up the valve even more).
I Vector in everything now except the cheap long stem lighters for the BBQ, and that's just because I'm too cheap to throw out the 97-cents worth of Ronson butane I have left. When it runs out, I'm done with the crap.
