Bernzomatic Butane Fuel Refill vs Xikar Purofine Premium Butane

Buy the Bernzomatic if you refill torches, soldering irons or larger butane tools; its 300 ml can and included reducers cover more devices per fill. Buy the Xikar if you mainly refill pocket and cigar lighters and want the cleanest fuel; its under-15-ppm refinement keeps jet valves clear. Both are triple-refined butane with universal tips, and owners of each report reliable ignition and few clogged burners. The Bernzomatic is the better all-round workshop can; the Xikar is the better lighter-grade fuel.

• Choose the Bernzomatic if you refill micro torches, cordless soldering irons or other butane tools and want a larger can with reducers in the box.
• Choose the Xikar if you refill pocket, pipe or cigar lighters and want very low-impurity fuel that keeps jet burners clean.
