(Part 2) Best butane fuel according to redditors

You can get any cheap torch lighter, I've gotten a bunch of free ones with purchases. The important thing is the butane.

Xikar and Colibri both make butane that is something like triple distilled to remove impurities and it's really not expensive.

Here's the Colibri

I did some googling and I found some evidence that it could be true. Look at the product name in my link below. It does include "London".

In any case, I wouldn't buy either. I'd get some 14x refined Vector off Amazon. I'm sure it'll be cheaper than anything you get in a local brick and mortar shop, anyway.

This is what you need. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QP8DOS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_aMhezbQSB5FTZ

It shipped empty when I bought it from CigarsInternational. They said it was due to federal regulations, but they can also ship you a can of butane with it...ಠ_ಠ

You can buy Ronsonol Butane at Walmart near the tobacco checkout counter or you can purchase nicer butane on amazon. Most cigar buffs swear that you need to use multiple filtered butane, I just can't taste the difference.

I use this fuel

Thanks for the tips.

I find it kind of silly though that $100+ lighters need such tender care. I use Colibri butane and will purge fully before refilling and will purge if it's been sitting awhile and take all those steps. It just seems crazy to me that all these maintenance steps - pins, etc. - are necessary. It's surprising to me that companies like these are held in high esteem given that so many folks seem to have issues with them working consistently. It'sEven out of the box, they never were that great - I've read a ton online and spoke to shop folks and still couldn't get them working great - the experience for folks who don't bother to take that effort must have even a worse experience.

August is my favorite month because me and my family always go on vacation in August. It's also that last month of summer where you try to get as much fun in before you go back to college. The weather is also amazing down here in Los Angeles during August.

Anyways, off to bed, I've got to go on Vacation and drive 500 miles (gotta wake up in 5 hours.. damn)

This item <3

^^^And ^^^maybe ^^^some ^^^fuel ^^^to ^^^go ^^^with ^^^it? ^^^Hehe

31 days for Augustus :D

Good luck to all the other entries!

not really a huge deal but get some better quality butane than that ronson. one can wont hurt ya, but the contaminants in that shit will ruin your torch eventually. i reccomend this stuff (this should be at least a years supply for e cig purposes) http://www.amazon.com/Vector-Quintuple-Refined-Butane-Refill/dp/B0035VBSWK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368391797&sr=8-1&keywords=vector+butane

Some things I forgot to put on the list that would be useful:

If she needs to make a fire, a [small lighter] (http://www.amazon.com/Scorch-Torch-Ambassador-Cigarette-Adjustment/dp/B00G9GUESC) might come in handy. It might need [butane gas] (http://www.amazon.com/GasOne-Quintuple-refined-Premium-Lighter/dp/B00BRYD8PC/), but one can should last long enough to get a good safehouse going with plenty of tinder to use with a [firestarter] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Survival-Technologies-SparkForce-Flint/dp/B00F73BO7S) instead.

To keep tabs on the smaller items when they're in that crate, you might put them into a new production .50 cal ammo box. It can store a lot and will easily survive rough handling, and if you ever need a sturdy waterproof container for whatever reason (camping, etc), it's a good storage solution if you're willing to put up with the weight.

It would be pretty neat if you used a wooden crate that she had to pry open with a crowbar; would feel very survivor-esque.

Now, this last part is totally optional since everything else would be kickass, but it could be an idea.

If you're ever played L4D, there's a gun that looks like a Mini-14; it's referred to as the 'Hunting Rifle' and is preferentially used by Zoey.

I'm not saying for you to actually buy a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle or a Ruger 10/22, but if you bought a [Crosman 1077] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Crosman_1077_Combo/1742), a [few clips] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_413_12_Rd_Pellet_Clips_Fits_1077_NightStalker_3_Pack/466), and [two magazines] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_1077_Air_Rifle_Magazine/2411), it'd probably be super cool, and practical, because then you could teach her how to actually shoot, and eventually she might pick up a Ruger 10/22 or Mini-14 down the line on her own.

Obviously this would have to be accompanied by proper instruction (four rules of gun safety, always respect the gun as something potentially deadly, follow through with your shot, etc; if you want to get the 1077 but personally don't know how to shoot, first brush up on the manual, which comes with some basic marksmanship information, and then take a class in rifle shooting), but it would certainly be neat and a cool thing to look forward to.

Oh, and you'd also want [pellets] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/RWS_Hobby_177_Cal_7_0_Grains_Wadcutter_500ct/220), [O-ring oil, to be applied on each CO2 cylinder before use] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_Pellgun_oil/222), [pellet trap to put targets on] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_UTG_Accushot_Pellet_BB_Trap_Ballistic_Curtains_Paper_Targets_Steel_Backer/3567), [eye protection for you, her, and anyone else who might want to try her new rifle out or watch] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Venturi_Safety_Glasses_Clear_Anti_Fog_Lenses_Adjustable/4515), and a [case] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Plano_Rifle_Case_Single_Scoped/593). You can pick up the case, pellets (look for .177 wadcutter), and CO2 Powerlets at a local sporting goods store if the price is competitive.

I use Lotus personally. Usually among the best price/performance.

Whip-It

the cheapest butane you can literally find. Less than $50 for 24 cans

I recommend this one
