Tooting my own horn here for those of you who might not have seen this the first time around. (Bump)

I'm still using Isobutane in my lighters and still no longer need to clean out the jets as I did with the refined N-Butane.

I have also purchased the Brunton Fueltool; now that I own both the Primus Filling Adapter and the Brunton Fueltool; I can more accurately state buy whichever is cheaper as they work the same.. The lowest price before shipping I found today with a quick google search was $10.

Very cool read. Thanks Matt!

Bump and update.

Stove company Soto now makes/markets an adapter that appears identical to the Brunton Fueltool. Another brand to search for if you want to give Isobutane a try.

Have you guys not heard of Clipper lighters? They are the bic's of europe (from spain specifically), and use only isobutane. They also make isobutane refill cans that work on any lighter just like the butane cans you are used to... it supposedly combusts at a lower temperature than n-butane, which means a fuller combustion and no (or less) inhaled fuel...

Great review!

Thanks, even though its not much of a review lol... I recently switched to clipper from bic's, and can tell the difference, and was doing some research on isobutane out of curiosity when I ran across what appeared to be a basic knowledge gap on this forum... Just thought I would pitch in :-)

My thoughts on clipper/isobutane is that it appears to burn cleaner from my personal experience, and it must be safe if millions of Europeans have been using it for decades...

Basic knowledge gap is my middle name(s).

I don't believe we have. But thanks for the plug. :-)

Tell us about the cigars you enjoy.

Wow,

My ancient fuel thread resurrected by a 2-poster (troll). :-)
Looks like "clipper" realizes isobutane is better than N-butane as well.

I'm still using Brunton Fueltool and Primus Filling adapter with isobutane canisters and still clog free. I like the Brunton one better. I never purchased the Soto branded one.

Troll? Oh, Matt, you are obviously handicapped by your basic knowledge gap.

Looks like I'm in good company.. :-)

Why the name calling? I haven't trolled anyone...

Your condescending post aside, care to reduce our knowledge gap by answering my question?

Are you a cigar smoker?
[Reply]

Ahh, I see... my explanation for being here was taken as an insult to the forum... no I am not a cigar smoker... is that a problem?

Our forum is a community, and it appears you just came in to promote a product. So, ywah, it's a little problem. But it's tough for us to gauge problems here, with our ginormous basic knowledge gap. :-)

Not really.

So explain to us your reason for joining. To enlighten us with your wisdom?
