Turboflame lighters require Butane gas marked as: ‘Near Zero Impurity’ or at least ‘Triple Refined’ which means they have a lower oil content and will not clog the burner (Newport, Colibri, London Gas & Purofine are recommended for use with Turboflame ®).
Different butane gas refills may have insufficient pressure and higher impurity content (oils), hence causing carbon deposit and failure of the lighter in the long run. We DO NOT Recommend use of common supermarket gas or brands such as Swan or Ronson for use with Turboflame ®.
