Where can i buy a butane lighter refill kit?

[chiwawa626]

My dad gave me a mini butane lighter with a "jet" flame...and its like outa gas, i want to refill it, but where can i purchase a butane refilling kit or something of that sort?

Wal-mart would probably have them. Any smoke shop should also.

Look for Vector butane.... it's filtered and won't gunk things up. Avoid Ronsonol, although readily available it will clog up your lighter.

Trust me on this.

You think walgreens or longs drugs would carry what i need?

Nope... unfortunately you'll need to go to a smoke shop to get the good stuff. I don't think you can buy butane online due to shipper restrictions.

I know it may be tempting to just use the Ronson stuff (since it is something you will be able to find at Longs) but every jet-type lighter I've tried it in has turned to crap. Search google groups for "Ronson butane" and you'll see a lot of similar experiences. That's how I learned about Vector. It makes a huge difference.

i get butane for my zippo from walmart but for a jet lighter i would just go to a smoke shop

Well Zippos don't use Butane I think they use Kerosene or something similar (not under pressure). Also, the Ronson stuff works fine for flame-type lighters... just not the torch kind.
