Hey All,
I just acquired the self ignited Weller Portasol butane soldering iron/blow torch for the MA61, what type of gas do I use? I know that Lighter fluid doesn't cut it... Any help would be appreciated?
Cheers.

it should use butane like what good ciggie lighters use, just dont let the butane leak onto ur hands while ur refilling, it gets very very very very very cold

I use one of these units and only use lighter gas in it and it works fine.
