Butane Lighter: Refilling it?

**godfather** · 09-03-2005, 01:23 PM

Happy Labor Day Week Everyone!

I recently purchased a Firebird lighter and need to get a butane refill canister for it. Is there anything special type I need? Anything that I should stay AWAY from? Can I get this just about anywhere? Did a search on this forum for this topic and didn't turn up anything.

Thanks for any advice on this...

make sure you bleed the lighter prior to filling it each time.....

Why?

why to the choices of butane??.....because they're by far the best to use...

why bleed before filling??....to get the air out,so you can fill it with butane....you don't want air in the refill cylinder....

and blowing crap off the lighting area help too.....

Some people say to use the tripple (or greater times) refined fuel, but I just use the cheap ronson crap I got from the drug store. If I invested in one of those fancy shmancy lighters I might use the more expensive stuff.
