Can Turboflame Phoenix lighters be refilled with propane gas?

Question

I have a propane can which I use to fill up my airsoft gun with gas. Would it be possible to refill a Turboflame Phoenix lighter/blowtorch with the same can?

The manual says you can use Butane gas, I'm just wondering if propane would work too and if I'd need a special adaptor.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Propane has a much lower boiling point than butane, that means it is a much higher pressure gas at normal temperatures. You'd have to change the jet, which you can't, even if the body was safe at the higher pressure.

At room temperature the vapor pressure of butane is around 30psi and propane is over 90psi.

Don't do it.

Answer 2

Electricity!
