What kind of fuel is used with this torch?

Butane. U can get a can for $3 at the store and it will refill it several times

25W sounds kinda small. Personally I am using a Smith micro ony-acetylene torch, not an electric...

No flint. I believe it's pizo electric spark. Two tricks: 1: Using a can of compressed air (usually used for keyboards) I sprayed the air into the lighter. 2: After a while mine wouldn't light even after spraying it with a jet of air so I used a small pointy tool and straighten the tube within the nozzle and it has been working fine for about a year. The distance and alignment of the butane tube and the electrode from which the spark jumps is critical. I like it so much that I just bought another.

It's propane gas. This is the 2nd one I've owned. I loved my first one so much I gave it to my daughter and bought another exactly like it!!!

The fuel gauge is a simple sight glass. You can see the fuel level through the window.The torch does not come w/ fuel (they can't ship it with fuel because of the hazard). You have to buy a can of butane and fill the torch yourself. It's all very simple.regards,

I use a regular lighter, the fuel contains some kind of wax, just be careful not to burn your hand with a hot drop of wax.

Actually it uses both! I love to take mine camping with me. I recommend you bring plenty of propane since this does use a lot of fuel. I recommend buying this to help with marathons!

Hard for me to say, but it's a good torch. About a inch diameter flame. 3 to 4 inches long, nice and hot

You need butane. Flip the torch over on the bottom of the handle there's a little hole, you flip your butane over and press the nozzle into the hole on the torch. It will hiss a bit keep holding until you see a puff of gas. When it does that it's full. Hope this helps.

You just purchase a butane refill can insert the tip of the refill can into the bottom of the torch and it will be refilled.

You will need an oxy-acetylene tank set to attach to this torch. Here's an example:http://www.amazon.com/Xtremepowerus-Professional-Acetylene-Welding-Cutting/dp/B00C1RXSQS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1420230483&sr;=8-4&keywords;=oxy-acetylene+tanks

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.

it gets hot enough to melt sugar crystals and i would not put my hand in front of it. it uses butane, the gas that powers cigarette lighters and instead of a flame it produces a torch type flame that is much hotter.

Using Zippo brand butane it is quite the powerful flame. It comes out at a faster rate than off your stove. Really I usually use a regular Bic lighter. This was more of a novelty gift to myself.

Sorry, no, this fuel is only for Zippo and other style lighters that use a liquid fuel sorce. Other "refillable " lighters use butane as the fuel source and comes pressurized in a can.

Should use the torch fuel/oil made specifically for torches, this is too strong and expensive for torches.

If memory serves, the oxygen regulator is the standard CGA 540, the acetylene is A CGA 200 (MC). The mc tank was meant for motorcycle lamps and should never be used with a torch(welding/brazing) according to The Compressed Gas Assoc. The withdraw limit on these little tanks is not sufficient for any torch set.
