Da Klugs sporting the Da Bio-Blazer! I want one when it comes to market.

I really only carry a Colibri these days, so it get's whatever butane in a can is handy. If it starts to spit and choke, I empty it and fill again.

Colibri is my goto fuel since thats what we have here. I can also get lotus but since its the same exact stuff in a shinier can for twice the cost i pass on that.

I'd been using Colibri until I heard of Lava on some forum or other. Haven't picked any up yet, as I still have some Colibri left.

Do you notice a difference? How so?

Since I use a Ronson lighter I just use Ronson fuel in it.

md4958 · 10-15-2008, 09:26 AM

since ive been using lava, ive had no problems with any of my lighters

I ended up buying some Xikar butane when I did my big CI run last month. I've been using some freebie lighters sent out with my order so that's probably more of the problem then the fuel.

Just killed a can of King, worked fine, got a new one of Lava.

Yeah, I am stuck on the cheapies now too. I did pick up one at a liquor store that works pretty well though. It is a single flame, but lights everytime.

I had some Ronson laying around, that I used to fill up my freebie at first, but I have been filling it up with Vector each time after that.

bobarian · 10-15-2008, 11:34 AM

Lava or Vector. I like flamethrowers!

10-15-2008, 12:31 PM

I've been using Colibri but I'm gonna try Lava as soon as the Colibri can runs out.

Never heard of Lava (other than soap). I have been using Vector.

ucla695 · 10-15-2008, 06:09 PM

Vector and Lava all the way.

TriStar · 10-15-2008, 06:14 PM

Colibri here. I'll buy their fuel but not their lighters

dunng · 10-15-2008, 06:32 PM

Vector... one even made the trip to the MassHERF!

Neuromancer · 10-15-2008, 06:48 PM

Vector...and for the finicky lighters Colibri...

MTB996 · 10-15-2008, 06:55 PM

Lava here, but I am running low and have a can of Xikar to take over.

Sailchaser · 10-15-2008, 07:59 PM

Lava and Vector here

BamBam · 10-15-2008, 09:01 PM

NCRadioMan · 10-15-2008, 09:06 PM
