I've said it before and I'll say it again; Whip-It brand butane is phenomenal. Great for lighters, great for those direct draw butane devices like the Nova or Vapor Genie. They have a rep for being some of the cleanest, and I'll never buy anything else unless that changes.

Cheap, too.

well you made that easy. Ordered. Getting a replacement Honest torch in addition to that replacement cap from Dynavap. I can start that new torch off on quality butane and see if it has less problems.

Are larger torches in general more tolerant of poorer quality butane?

How do we know which are the cleanest butanes? Obviously they say on the can they're filtered etc... but is there any independent testing on the different varieties?

Keen Newport bottle gas for a lot of different brands
To make things easy for us they label the good stuff with their "near zero impurities" label
So I look for the cheapest " near zero impurities" butane I can find
I think I'm using Bull and LAZR brands at the moment

There were a few threads on this 10-15 years ago, I think this one has some test results

Actually it’s pretty easy.

Take small mirror, spill little bit butane on mirror and let it dry out.
Less residue - cleaner butane.
