Butane torch thread

[0796]

The creme brulee torch(es) I mentioned also come with a few filling adapters. Maybe something like that would help with the PB207?

Maybe. Maybe not. Mine I already fixed))

Regarding Butane when it cites a number, like i saw one brand with a 5 , What does that mean?

 

[mephisto]

Perhaps referring to the number of
"refinement" processes it has been through.

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

Gear - Acceptable brands of butane to buy for doing your runs!

I thought we could start a thread and list off the good to go brands of butane that we know are ready to be used to make our lovely oils. What to look for on the bottle when you are checking an unknown brand: A label saying "near zero impurities" it written on the bottle that is is 50 ppm or...

Actually it’s pretty easy.

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

Yup read that in the thread linked above no @Hippie
From everything I've read, sticking with Newport seems all good.
