Art Jewelry Magazine associate editor Jill Erickson shows you how to fill a butane torch with fuel. Visit www.artjewelrymag.com/howto for more information and videos.
I was already thinking of this when she said "now you can use your torch for jewelry, etc." but in the back of my mind I was thinking "or taking fat dabs" lol 😂
“Whether you’re using the torch for melting the end of metal wire, or taking fat dabz with your boys, this is by far the best way to fill a butane torch. One love fam.”
Thank you. Sometimes people don't make certain videos because they think that it's too easy or too obvious. But this was very useful since I never owned one before. Thanks again
You have to burp the torch first by pressing down on the filler tip with the end of an ink pen or something pointy. Then wait till the hissing sound stops when all the air is emptied out of the tank. You will get more butane in the tank this way. You should wait about 5-10 minutes before using the torch so you don't blow the seals in the torch. Thanks for reading ...Brenda M-COQUILLE, OREGON
How do you know if you’ve blown the seals in the torch? I filled mine for the first time and i ignited the flame. I saw a small one and it went away. Now i keep trying to turn it on and it won’t. I also tried removing the butane as you suggested and nothing happens
@jessicacanales9808 yeah there made in China, garbage now ..send it back if it's new ..I'm trying to remember where I ordered mine , master appliance comes to memory ? Irritates me to no end when I buy something and it's junk , right from the beginning ? Its becoming common also ?
Thanks Art Jewelru - I was wondering how to tell when it was full! Your description of sputtering was perfect. Also, I noticed that as you fill it, the tone changes - and the cylinder gets icy cold! Thanks again!
@trekranger They generally get up into the 2000°F range. Some torches get slightly hotter than others, but the bigger ones put out a more powerful flame, and they hold more fuel. Each manufacturer lists the specs for their particular product.
@trekranger It depends on the type of solder you're using. The manufacturer should be able to tell you the temperature at which the solder melts when you buy the product.
Only real piece of information here was how to determine when the torch is full... What I'm looking is to find a refill nozzle or seal that won't let gasses escape. Frankly, I'm amazed how something this bad is still being used as an industry standard. Some refill cans have nozzles that let only modest amounts escape, some have horrible (yes, I know all about the adapters...) that let dangerous amounts of it out. All I find is instructions like this, teaching the obvious, but neglecting the stuff that is not so obvious (assuming that there are tricks to avoid excessive leakage). Why on earth isn't there a small rubber ring on the bottom of the receptacle, at least? But frankly, something much better should be adopted by now... Well, thank's for the tip on how to tell when the torch is full again.
Butane evaporates almost immediately, virtually no cleanup is involved. It varies on the size of the torch, but it takes me about 5 seconds to fill mine. Butane is pretty safe because of how quickly it evaporates, just keep the can out of the sun and away from sources of heat, especially when refilling.
Thank you - I was just ripped off by Rio Grande for a torch like this one. I had not finalized the sale when I canceled and they sent it anyway and charged $110 for it. I am so furious.., They sent tit without any instructions and said it cannot be returned because it is hazardous material. I have purchased numerous jewelry supplies from this company for many years now but lately their service has been appalling and where I used to just click on a button because I am a member - It is a nightmare to even get onto the site to find out how to fill the torch.
Yeah this bitch cappin I’m just tryna do some dabs n she’s tryna get some views 🤦♂️ me n her we not the same she can’t fill a torch or put a belt on right🤣💀 I can’t fill my torch or smoke my dabs I’m saudy asf
Thanks I thought I was refueling my torch wrong since it was pouring out, now I know its cause it was full lol it's funny how most of the comments are about dabs lol dab time ! Cheers !
could you comment on whether the butane one uses must be pressurized using the nozzle delivery as you demonstrated, or if the nonpressurized, liquid lighter fluid works as well? thanks
Personally... I'd like more information that you CAN'T get from the can. How long does it take for a tank on one of those little torches to fill completely from empty? Is the video representative of this time, or is it shorter because it's a demonstration? Can you tell the difference between a full tank and letting your fill tank lean a little by accident? Does the butane disperse quickly, or is there cleanup involved? What safety and/or cleanup tips do you have in case butane spray?
what about the MT-51 itself, does it have to be closed? other brands like master ultratane butane fuel comes with the regular white cap, but there is also a little red tip type cap.......good tip though about liquifying telling you the torch tank is full.
Regular butane is fine for your average butane cigarette/cigar lighter but for torches like this _always_ used _refined_ butane because it prevents gunk buildup which you are definitely NOT going to like. I speak from experience.
ut000bs Mine won't work at all, its flame is like a giant lighter's (no blue sharp flame) I am hoping it is the fuel... I am using regular lighter butane
damok9999 Find some refined butane (5x or higher) and empty your torch and run that refined through it. You should see gradual improvement over a little bit of time...maybe 2 fillings or so. The refined will actually clean the deposits since no new is occurring. This is exactly what happened to me and how I fixed it. You may have to go to a hardware store or similar. I've never found refined butane at places like Walmart, etc.
ut000bs nice to know it may clean the deposits, though i got a cheap torch specifically to familiarize myself with them, i'll have to step up eventually anyway, thanks for the tip
So, what kind of mileage can you get out of a butane torch refill canister (e.g. roughly how many hours of overall use before the canister is used up)....?
Pissed that she doesn't show the label of the butane fuel. I've been driving around everywhere looking for butane for my torch but now I have Coleman butane fuel that won't even fill my torches
Do not, I repeat, do not buy regular butane from the store for this. You need refined butane or your torch will gunk up and be rendered useless in no time.
+samual stein Buy some refined butane and run it through the torch after it's empty. I bought some 5x refined and before the fill was half empty my torch was running a lot better. Now I don't notice any difference in the way it works than when it was new.
samual stein I had to get a replacement. I physically unclogged it and ran higher refined butane through the malfunctioning torch I had, with no success. New torch, refined butane (min x5) and avoid over filling (I was told this can cause the same malfunction)
Thanks! Now it's time for some dabs lol👍
Erik Bush haha
Erik Bush XD

+Erik Bush LMAO! xD
+Nathaniel Zamora Right lol
Yeah I'm using my torch on dabs not clay.
same
Rightttt!
yep same
You blew my cover
thextomxriddlex yup
“Whether you’re using the torch for melting the end of metal wire, or taking fat dabz with your boys, this is by far the best way to fill a butane torch. One love fam.”
of you you fucking around with the shenanigans and you finna fire up and hit the dabs

I like how her belt isn't on; Great style
who has time for belt loops after all ha
so I wasn't the only one who noticed that damn belt out of the rings...
I love how everyone who watched this came for the same reason I did 😀
u missed every belt loop
Lmfao. Damn sure did
Was coming here hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed
Wow.
Roflmfao I thought I was just high 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for a good video. You are the only one who mentioned how to tell when the filling is done.
Thank you, I was not holding it upside down. Very good instructional video.
Thanks, this is what I needed to know. Plus, I just won an argument I had been having with someone about "mom jeans."
Thanks Art Jewelru - I was wondering how to tell when it was full! Your description of sputtering was perfect. Also, I noticed that as you fill it, the tone changes - and the cylinder gets icy cold!
Thanks again!
I worried I used too much pressure when I tried to fill it, because it was leaking out the nozzle and dribbling gas all over the torch.
im so glad somebody took the time to read the butane can for me. i just can t seem to bring myself to do it.
When we’re all here for “jewelry & clay” 😎😎😎
DAB A DAB A DOO-----420
Thanks, I just bought for kitchen purpose especially for creme brûlée. I will buy butane now. Thanks again for demo.
dabbing time xD
Yeah you right
Thanks, I couldn’t fill my torch for my dab mo. Very much appreciated.
OMG...My new torch wasn't filling or working because I wasn't holding it upside down! lol...Some days, right? Thanks for the vid.
I feel better knowing I wasn't alone
I'm getting a butane torch for cooking. Thank you!
I'm not here for dabs but I just realized I can with my torch. Thanks boys
This came in handy when I needed to know how to refill my creme brule kitchen torch. I had thrown away the box with directions on how to refill it.
Thanks Jill 💕 happy 4/20
God bless you because our salesman told us not to turn it upside down and it wasn't filling up.
@trekranger They generally get up into the 2000°F range. Some torches get slightly hotter than others, but the bigger ones put out a more powerful flame, and they hold more fuel. Each manufacturer lists the specs for their particular product.
Thank you so much!!! Just the video I was looking for!
@trekranger It depends on the type of solder you're using. The manufacturer should be able to tell you the temperature at which the solder melts when you buy the product.
thanks for the help jill erikson
Thank you Jill. - I also wanted to let you know that you skipped a few belt loops. Thanks again!
This lady doing God’s work. What we do in this life echoes in eternity. 🤙💯💪

Well search different video 🙄
Holy shit!! I was doing this soooo damn wrong my flame kept dying so fast! Until I saw this video it changed my solder life (:
thank you!! simple and effective
Hmmm....a wealth of information....almost as much as can be found on the refill can.

Butane is pretty safe because of how quickly it evaporates, just keep the can out of the sun and away from sources of heat, especially when refilling.
you've heard that belts go in belt loops, right? 80's bongo
You can get more in easier if you take a pen and push the valve for a few seconds to release some air pressure in the empty torch.
many thanks it was very use full and i did it.
Any Torch video = Dab heads perfecting the craft lol
This works!... After I’ve spewed butane everywhere 🙃
Smokin so much dank

I have done all of that crap and it stills does NOT refill.
Did it work yet?
@@durocherdude he’s probably dead

Jill your belt is not in your belt loops, any reason
could you comment on whether the butane one uses must be pressurized using the nozzle delivery as you demonstrated, or if the nonpressurized, liquid lighter fluid works as well? thanks
Thank you very much! Greetings from russian jewellers ;)

Anti belt-loop?
😂😂😂😂
+Shane How can you tell? The bottom of the belt loop is not visible.
Can you use a butane gas cartridge to refill? Not sure if there's any difference
Regular butane is fine for your average butane cigarette/cigar lighter but for torches like this _always_ used _refined_ butane because it prevents gunk buildup which you are definitely NOT going to like. I speak from experience.
ut000bs Yes, I use premium zippo butane for my torch.
ut000bs Mine won't work at all, its flame is like a giant lighter's (no blue sharp flame) I am hoping it is the fuel... I am using regular lighter butane

Works great for lighting fireworks :P
Yeah.. I'm gonna go blow some pottery...
can I purchase a "vase"?
+eric ganzyuk if you have mony l t me know
Pissed that she doesn't show the label of the butane fuel. I've been driving around everywhere looking for butane for my torch but now I have Coleman butane fuel that won't even fill my torches
Im really high and was trying to figure out why my torch won't work. Turns out I need to flip it upside down when I fill it lmaoo
thank you very much :)
Time to make some jewlery bois
Sweet! Now I can heat up my clay! Nah I'm gonna do some dabs lol
Do not, I repeat, do not buy regular butane from the store for this. You need refined butane or your torch will gunk up and be rendered useless in no time.
***** I didn't know this, I think I got 0.5 seconds of gas pressure to expel, then it clogged...
***** This comment should always be the first comment you see on the page. LOL
+blaze556922 I think this is what happened to my torch, is there anyway to fix this problem or do i have to go buy a new torch now?
+samual stein Buy some refined butane and run it through the torch after it's empty. I bought some 5x refined and before the fill was half empty my torch was running a lot better. Now I don't notice any difference in the way it works than when it was new.

do all butane torches heat the same way (heat wise) do some get hotter than others?
Very helpful video, thanks.
Does anyone know where I can get new tips/points for my RONSON Tech Torch... Thanks for your time.
Thanks fam you’re enabling my getting high asf
I use mine to light my cigars!
I couldnt understand why it kept spraying back i guess it was full lol these things really dont hold much fuel gotta refill it constantly
@artjewelrymag so at what temp does hard solder start to melt?
U r a gr8 help
When I try to fill mine, the gas sputters everywhere and leaks. Idk what the issue is. It's not happening bc I'm overfilling it :(
everytime i refill the butane can leaks as im filling it i can never seem to fill up my torch correctly what im i doing wrong? i have a newport torch
thnx!
Thank god I was sober enough to realize how she was wearing her belt
this woman has no idea we're using the torches for dabs lol
yo do i need butane fluid or any zippo lighter fluid?
When I do this the canister's nozzle leaks at its base. I don't get it.
That means it’s full big dawg
@@YimmyYames513 nope. Torch gives small flame, and dies after 10 seconds. The butane is barely getting in there. I think my canister is defective.
Time to make Creme Brulee!!!!
When was this filmed lol
Who else boofin some gas
Idk. This was kinky, but great.
Thanks lady, now dabs.
1:06 thats what she said
You missed the 1st step, forgot to burp your torch
how can you Not now how to fill these?
and if gas and liquid gas is comming out:
A its a bad torch that doesnt seal
B shes bad at filling it
almost burned down my house thanks
hot Titanium nail
Why is she wearing a belt not using any belt loops on her pants?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DO THIS OUTSIDE!!!! It much safer that way.
I thought she was gonna fill it wish my hopes and dreams lol
Anyone else notice her belt isn't through the loops?! Lol
Daaaaaabs
