Neon Butane

Was looking for fuel and keep running across this brand. I see 7 and 11 times refined. Any experience? I did a search on the forum and didnt see it mentioned

    Never heard of it. Xikar is a trusted brand and I believe several here use Lotus as well.

    I've used and recommend Xikar, Vector, and Lotus. Never heard of Neon, but it looks like their common in gas stations, liquor stores, and head/vape shops.

    I wouldn’t try it in your favorite lighter first. Sometimes butane isn’t as refined as is claimed and it can destroy the jets in a good lighter.

    well guess its good that I dont have a good lighter. the best one I have is the zippo jet insert I just got

    Don't fuçk with that shït. If you're looking for a flame that you can see outside, just get this vertigo intimidator lighter. I have one in my golf bag. Flame glows red so you can see it. Takes regular butane.

    If they're adding a substance to make the color, it will inevitably screw up your lighter. Vertigo put a filament after the jets to make the color change.

    Well hell Now I have to try to cancel my order.....

    Cancelled the order. It is difficult at best to get any shipped here. Ordered some lotus as it was the only recommended brand that a seller might ship to me. we shall see if they cancel it.

    Lucienne is also good, I'd been using it a couple years when I read somewhere that it's the only butane used at Casa Fuente.

    I've also got a couple cans of Lucienne , after having several lighters go bad and I was using Xikar, in Xikar lighters.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    i saw Lucienne as well but had never seen it mentioned around here until now.

    I've heard it recommended, but I've never used it.
