Product details
Description
Vector KGM Formula-14 represents the gold standard in lighter fuel, offering a level of purity that far exceeds standard market offerings. While most butane brands refine their gas only one to three times, Vector undergoes a rigorous fourteen-stage filtration process. This removes virtually all impurities, ensuring a clean-burning flame that protects the delicate internal mechanisms of high-performance jet torch and turbo lighters.
This premium fuel is specifically engineered to prevent and even clear existing clogs in jet openings, significantly extending the lifespan of your favorite lighters. Beyond tobacco accessories, its consistent heat output makes it an excellent choice for culinary torches used in caramelizing desserts or for portable camping stoves during outdoor adventures. Each 320 milliliter canister provides a generous supply, reducing the frequency of refills and ensuring your devices are always ready for use.
For those who invest in quality equipment, using a high-purity fuel like Vector 14x is the most effective way to maintain peak performance and reliability.
How to use
- Ensure the lighter or device is turned off.
- Hold the butane canister upside down and press the nozzle firmly into the refill valve of the device for several seconds.
- Wait at least two minutes before lighting to allow any escaped gas to evaporate and the fuel to reach room temperature.

Ridiculously high caliber at a extremely fair amount.
I had been using Ronson "ultra premium" (the black canisters) in my Cartier electronic ignition lighter (circa 1993) that my wife picked up and had fully restored and engraved to me as well as in my Matco butane torch soldering kit, which I've owned for around 10 years and use almost every day. With the Ronson fuel, which actually cost more than the Vector quintuple refined fuel, I kept my lighter set to 3/4 of the way up and my soldering torch at a minimum of 2/3 to full flow depending on the heat level I required for the work I was doing at the time. I ran through about a refill a day on my lighter, smoking around a pack and a half a day, and got around 40 minutes to an hour of use on the Matco torch depending on how I had it set.When I received the box of Vector fuel I was shocked to see that each canister is around the size of a can of hair spray, where the Ronson fuel I had been using came in the standard small can that you see in stores, I'm estimating it might be 1/4 the size of the Vector canister. I bled my torch and lighter completely empty, as recommended in the instructions on the Vector canisters, then refilled both items - my lighter took 15 seconds to fill, compared to 30 with the Ronson, and I found that it produced a larger flame when set to 3 clicks above minimum fuel flow than it did previously at 75% flow. The Matco took around 25 seconds to fill compared to around a minute and functions so much better it's unreal. 1/4 fuel flow is more than enough for my normal work and just below half flow is comparable to full flow with the old fuel. It lasts for around 3 hours of use now at the lower setting and roughly 2 hours at the higher. I haven't had any reason to turn it past halfway, even when using it as an actual torch without a soldering tip on it.In the end, for around the same price as other supposed "ultra premium" fuels, you get a canister that's 4-5 times larger and the highly refined fuel has made every butane fueled item I've tried with it work at least twice as well as they did previously and require refills less than half as much. You can't go wrong with the Vector Quintuple, it's well worth the price and actually ends up being a much better value than cheaper fuel due to the canister size. It outperforms every type of butane charge I've tried over the years by a huge margin - give it a try, even if you only order one can to test, I can just about guarantee you'll toss your old fuel and order a good quantity of Vector to have on hand.

The premier butane
I have gone through numerous lighters over the years. Some cheap novelty lighters and some high-end, expensive lighters. I used Colibri brand fuel for the longest time and I would be frustrated that it seemed no matter the quality of lighter, I could not get one to last more than about a year. I figured a manufacturer of quality lighters would only put their label on a high-quality fuel. But after being frustrated by so many lighters getting "clogged" I tried upgrading my fuel. I moved to Xikar brand fuel which seemed to be a bit higher quality. Still I could not find a lighter that would not get "clogged" eventually, regardless of the quality and price of the lighter. I had resigned myself to just buying cheap gas station lighters. If they were going to be useless in a year, why spend the money on an expensive one?The symptoms were always the same. The torch would sputter and struggle to ignite and stay lit. Or for non wind-proof lighters, they would eventually just stop lighting. A purge and fresh fill would not fix it. I threw away a lot of nice lighters over the years.Fast forward to about 6 months ago. I stumbled upon a comment online about using ultra-refined fuel to keep lighters operational for year. I went searching and found this Vector 14x fuel for a good price on Dropy. I figured I would go ahead and give it a shot as I needed some new fuel anyway.I purged and filled my first lighter. I probably spent < $10 on it when I was travelling and forgot to bring one. It was working fine, just needed some fuel. The first thing I noticed is that I had to turn the adjuster down. What was providing a good flame with my previous fuel was way too intense with this Vector fuel. Impressive. I grabbed another lighter that was on its last legs. It was a decent lighter (Xikar I think) and it would only stay lit for a couple seconds of sputtering. I purged and filled it. Let it rest and gave it a go. It sputtered, but it ignited. And it stayed lit. As I kept it lit, amazed that it wasn't dying, I could watch as the clogged jet openings opened up and the flame got stronger and stronger. After going through maybe 1/4 a tank, the lighter was functioning like a lighter is supposed to. This fuel brought that lighter back to life.For the next hour I hunted down all of my favorite lighters that I could not bring myself to part with even though they wouldn't work. Colibri's, Lotus, etc. And every single one was coaxed back to life with this fuel. I am a convert. I think back to all of the nice lighters I ended up tossing out of frustration that this fuel may have been able to save. I will never go back to using a lower quality fuel. This stuff is amazing. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

FAQs
What is premium butane gas?
Premium butane gas, such as Vector 14x, undergoes multiple stages of refining to remove impurities and oils. This high level of purity prevents carbon buildup and clogging in the thin jets of modern lighters, ensuring a consistent and reliable flame.
How to refill a vector butane lighter?
To refill your lighter, first purge any trapped air by pressing the refill valve with a small tool. Invert the Vector fuel can, align the metal nozzle with the valve, and press down firmly in short bursts until full. Allow the lighter to rest for a few minutes before use.
Can this fuel be used for cooking and culinary torches?
Yes, because this fuel is 14x refined and ultra-pure, it does not leave any unpleasant odors or tastes. This makes it ideal for use in kitchen torches for browning meringues or caramelizing sugar on desserts.
