I recently purchased a Colibri lighter and now need fuel. In town I can buy Ronson or Vector. If necessary I can order Colibri, but dont want to unless the other two choices are crap. Anyone have experience with any of these three fuels?

P.S. I would also like any info anyone has on places to order spanish cedar.

ONLY USE COLIBRI!!!! Some will say it's ok to use Vektor, but it f'd my Colibri's and my Volcano up. DO NOT USE RONSOL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! 🙂

I only use the old fashioned kitchen matches! I have several Zippos, a colibri and a Prometheus and I prefer wooden matches on my cigars! Charlie

I have used both Vector and Colibri and can see no difference between the two. Both are triple refined butanes. As previously stated unless you want to ruin your lighter under no circumstances use Ronson.

i have been using the refils from home depot at $25.00 for a large tank with i believe five pounds or gallons of butane. i built my own converter so the tank will attach to any lighter and i extended the lines to ten feet so i don't have to carry it from room to room. the first few times i used it we had a problem or two, but the crew promised i would have a new roof before it rains. it comes in white so it will fit in any decor. i started using the "tank of butane" about a year ago and it is still working. i am going to get another to use as a spare so if this one runs out of butane, i'll not have to wait until home depot opens the next day.
