Proper care and maintenance will keep your Vulcan torch working safely and efficiently for years. Follow these simple steps for refilling and basic troubleshooting.
Refilling a butane torch is simple but requires care. Always refill in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sparks. Using high-quality, multi-filtered butane will help prevent the torch's jet from clogging.
If your torch sputters or fails to ignite, trapped air in the tank is the most common cause. First, try bleeding the tank as described in the refilling steps. Second, ensure you are using high-purity butane, as oils from cheaper fuel can clog the nozzle. If problems continue, the ignition spark may be misaligned.
