The standard recommendation for wind resistance is the “jet” style lighter. Whether I’m lighting up on the freeway, or trying to light a bottle rocket before a car comes up the road, having a lighter that won’t blow out when I need it most is an essential requirement for me. While the BIC is a very rugged and reliable lighter, it is not windproof. However, for my uses, I require something more. For most of the population, the BIC is perfectly adequate - which is why they sell 5 million every single day of the year. They are all fine lighters, and any one of them will serve its user well. There have been three lighters in my life that have been able to withstand the combined abuse of smoking and pyrotechnics, and they are the BIC, the IMCO, and the Zippo. Meanwhile, the visco cannon fuse found on most commercial fireworks ejects large quantities of ash and carbon fouling directly into the lighting mechanism, which will kill most lighters over time. Smokers will be using their lighter 1-40 times a day, every day, depending on their habit. Smoking and lighting fireworks are the two most demanding environments a lighter can be put through. The difference between lighter fluid and butane is that butane is an aerosol type fuel that won’t work with your standard wick lighter.I’ve been playing with lighters since I was 5 years old, after my mom showed me how to use a BIC because “it’s safer than playing with matches.”Īt first my lighters were used for lighting fireworks, and then, as I became older, they were also used for smoking. You need zippo premium lighter fluid for this lighter… If you can’t find that at your store, Ronson lighter fuel will suffice. What is the difference between Zippo fluid and butane? It won’t jeopardize the integrity or taste of the cigar.
When a smoker lights his cigar with a Zippo, he’s not 100 percent sure of the fuel that’s being used. The best case scenario, however, is always to use a wooden match. Noxious gases will impart a chemical taste to your cigar and mar the pleasure of your cigar-smoking experience. Never use a lighter with a noxious gas (i.e., a Zippo) to light your cigar, although a butane lighter is acceptable.
So, the answer is no, you cannot use pressurized butane to refill a normal zippo lighter. The butane while it is a liquid in the can will turn to a gas as soon as the pressure is released.
