| Ok so ive heard that the "cheap" butane like ronsonal can clog lighters. So what butane is GTG for lighters? |

Vector. Big & cheap. I know this will shock you but Xikar is my brand. I have tried three "tripple filtered" brands including Vector and still ran into issues. Since I switched to Xikar, not one single issue....fill, fire, repeat. And.....do not shake the can. Just invert and fill. |

Tattoo Works. Quintuple filtered. I think it's the new Lava. I use Vector too.
It's so good there's even counterfeits, make sure to get the one in the black cans.

Xikar just put out new stuff it works really well but the fill tip is a little fat. (white tip old cans had a red tip) This^^^ I use xikar, no problems except the fat white tip tries to pull the adjuster off my xikar element lighter. I just have to push the adjuster back down when I pull the can loose. Not a big hassle, but a hassle nonetheless. Looks like they could use a standard size to fit their own lighters.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I just had my Xikar rep in last week he says "its not the new tip but a bad run of element knobs" he gave me 3 new knobs to put on but the same thing happens so they know this is a problem. |

Stands to reason, I have two elements that I am considering taking a drill to the knobs. Just kind of hard to hold the little booger. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
