No. Some butane fuels have fancier marketing and cost more

Seriously though, some lighters need cleaning and purging more often than others. Some never need cleaning, some never need purging. Butane fuels may include things other than butane, e.g., isobutane or propane. Those other things may or may not contribute to the frequency of cleaning, depending on the lighter.

I am tempted to get a converter to allow camp stove butane to be used in a lighter - http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1236823203122
