The fuel makes a huge difference. I have two Blazer torches (one was "confiscated" by the wife), two other cheapo butane torch lighters, and some butane candles that are really nice. The brands listed are great, agreed. I use King butane and can recommend it highly. Big thing here is that King is very reasonably priced. I bought a 12 case of their big cans for $34.95 (shipping extra) and use it in all my butane torches and candles. Never a problem, works great.

Purge your lighter before filling, use good fuel, NOT Ronson...!! 99% of all problems go away if you follow those steps.

Good luck - N.F.H.
