Guys, I've always used Xikar silver can Purofine, and then recently switched to Xikar black-can Purofine High-Performance. I like 'em both, but the black can is better.

A friend swears by Vector 14 (I think it's called that because they claim it's 14x refined or something).

Opinions? You're a sharp bunch of cigar fellas so I figured I'd ask you all. Should I buy it, is it as good as the Xikar stuff? Thanks!

Haven't used the Vector. I've got the Xikar High Performance and Neon 11x and never had any issue with either.

I still have about a can and a half of Lava Butane. I also have a can or two of the Vector 5X refined stuff.

The 5X refined Vector is very good and what I use now that they no longer make Lava butane.

If you have $3 sh1t lighters from WalMart, too... you won't have a problem until you do... but who cares if the lighter was $3?

I have a Dupont Xtend and I will not clog it with Ronson. Yeah, I also have cheapo lighters but the better fuel keeps 'em running better for longer. YMMV

I use colibri...

Anything claiming to be "x" amount of times refined instead of giving you a percentage of purity is garbage...

You can refine dog crap a billion times, it's still dog crap...

I've used the vector14 stuff for many years.

Tried ronson and King before ordering the vector stuff and those clogged jet lighters quickly. The vector has been good.

Colibri always clogged up my lighters. All I use is the xikar stuff and it aint much better

Bought a case of Lava before they left the market. Still have a few cans so I don't have an opinion on the others.

Does butane ever go "bad"? I have a really old can in a drawer. Wondering if I should ever use it or just toss it.
