Best Butane Fuel?
Hi,
What butane are you all using to refill you torches? I'm looking to get some good stuff after abusing my lighters with Ronson fuel.
Anyone using Power super refined? 5x refined?
Vector?
thanks!

no idea, sounds stupid but i'll get it refilled at the local LCDH, it's part of their "service" and they're just 5 minutes away...

I use and highly recommend Vector 5x refined. I have a XTend and a Ligne 2 from S.T. Dupont and would not use Vector if it was not the best.

Vector or Colibri or Dunhill, they are the only ones that use a 30% propane mixture. Keeps your best lighters nice and clean

Thanks everybody. Picked up a can of Vector 5x on the way home. I'll purge and fill my Porche Design PD'3 and start treating it right.
