SOTO Butane Gas Filling Adaptor

I bought this along with a SOTO flame igniter, for refilling from common iso-butane cannisters used with hiking stoves. It works great! SOTO products overall are very well designed and manufactured (in Japan, not China), and this one is no exception. It fills a very niche need, but does it with great design and elegance. Recommended

This is super easy to use, simply screw it onto your canister and depress into the pocket torch. It fills fast and easy.Pro tip, throw the pocket torch into the freezer and it'll get a complete fill more easily.

I searched all over to find some way to reliably use the Coleman stove-style butane canisters to refill butane lighters, and having found nothing substantial that would directly allow this, I stumbled on this Lindal screw-type output to lighter refill adapter, and so long as you combine this with one of the commonly available butane canister-to-Lindal adapters, you can quickly and easily fill lighters from the much cheaper stove-style butane canisters.On top of that, if you feel like living on the edge, you can refill your lighters with the camping butane-propane mixed fuels to get a more robust fuel source and stronger flame using this adapter directly. You could conceivably use this to put straight propane into those lighters as well, but I would not recommend this for the obvious reason that propane is stored at a significantly higher pressure than butane, and so if you tried to fill a cheap butane lighter with this, you're probably going to hurt your lighter, yourself, or both.

So, I can't offer much of a review yet but I can offer a warning, not all butane canisters will work with this. This adapter screws on to a canister and apparently not all canisters screw into their respective appliances. I bought a Coleman canister and it doesn't have threads and the outlet is too small for the adapter to fit into.The adapter itself is heavy and feels well built. The nozzle gaurd is very tight and snaps into place. How much protection it actually offers is questionable; good in one direction, maybe passable in the other.

Soto is the best when it comes to quality !

Very useful for the garage needs and service up your hand held torch with high quality camping fuel. Had a bunch of camping canisters that been sitting there get to make use of them now. Easy operation.

Bought the adaptor to use with my existing butane canisters, but it was not compatible with any of them. This adaptor only works with certain kinds of butane canisters, but it was not clearly stated in the description. However, the item is not returnable, so it was a waste of money. For what it is that is quite a bit of money for something that is useless. Wish they would change their return policy.

Works but the Soto lighter is expensive for bad quality
