I had just bought an adapter so I can use the 220g butane canisters with my backpackers lightweight jet stove (weighs just 100 grams), for a 70% savings in fuel costs/expense. At the same time I bought another propane butane adapter so I can mix my own 70-30 butane propane for my colder weather camp fuel.
I wonder if the little torch would work with 100% propane.?.
Is there a fill adapter that will allow using a 14-16 ounce propane tank, to fill up the micro torch?
