I buying my husband a BLU2 Zippo for xmas and I'm wondering if this canister will hold the BLU2 butane fuel too or only the traditional lighter fluid?

I found that this canister leaks all the fluid before I have the chance to refill my warmer....no matter how hard I tighten both scew-on lids. In my opinion, the canister is not effective...except for maybe a pill or match storage.

No sorry that wouldn't work. You need something like this - Zippo Butane Fuel, 42gm

You can use standard butane canisters. They all fit and work perfectly with this unit. By the way, this is the Mercedes of stoves. Burns really hot and even when canisters get low, they still have enough power to cook with. I never have had my stove on high, it's just too hot.

Well I have been using the standard butane cans for lighters. I have different brands all will fill it from the bottom but there will be a lot of over spray.

I think you have the same burner I have and yes you can use any butane gas canister. Mine uses the 8 ounce that I bought from Ace Hardware. Works fine. I think there is an industry standard on the canisters so you can't go wrong.

This type of fluid is for the old fashioned Zippo type lighters. IT IS NOT UNDER PRESSURE BUT IT WILL COME OUT RATHER QUICKLY WHEN FILLING THE LIGHTER. The ZIPPO fuel is the best and has almost NO SMELL OR TASTE WHEN IT IS BURNED. The pressurized fuel is usually butane. Zippo also makes lighters which use this and are called Zippo Blues.

This lighter does not use butane. If you are asking in general which is best, it doesn't matter. The one type of lighter to stay away from is the "torch" butane lighters, as they are too hot and will damage the pipe. Regular butane lighters that put out a normal yellow flame after fine. I personally use the butane lighter with the pipe tools built into it found here on Amazon. I have two of these Zippos and they are hard to light and messy to fill.

No it is NOT pressurized. If you need pressurized fluid butane is what you are looking for. Zippo Premium Butane Fuel (1.48 oz.)

I've never had a problem refilling my torch. I don't know what type of refill canisters you use, but I use Vector 5x butane, and the canister stem fits right into my torch refill valve. Check the cap of your butane refill canisters. They may have adapter nozzles like my canisters to fit different size valves. I hope this helps.

I am not sure about using a charcoal fluid, but I use the same fuel as a zippo lighter for it. After having this product for a while and using it relatively often for a while I have notice that it doesn't light very easily. Just FYI.

Oh wow! Well, they are all shipped without fuel to avoid hazard. I ordered Zippo fuel which works great. You need to hold the fuel canister upside-down to allow the fluid to drip into the lighter. Maybe there was a flaw in the lighter fluid can?

Actually Butane fuel is the same as the fuel used on the gas stoves especially the portable ones. Its must better than the regular lighters.

I use zippo but either works fine. Just don't wrench down on o ring or fluid will evaporate quicker. When fluid does evaporate quickly you know it's time to replace o ring! :)

The stock tip that comes with the regular zippo butane worked for me. Make sure to fully discharge the lighter with a pen or other pointy tip first. Good luck

I use Zippo or Ronsonol lighter fluid, same as you would use for a cigarette lighter

no. this is just an open container for liquid lighter fluid. it will not hold butane gas.

I don't think it will fit inside your gloves. It is not unpredictable either. You fill it with zippo fluid and light it. There is no flame present but it is burning. Since there is fluid in it, you would not want to tip it over and let any fuel leak out. It works great in a coat pocket or in pants pocket while standing.
