Andrew, I have watched several videos of how to fill a torch, but you, my friend were the only person who explained it well enough to give me the confidence I needed to fill mine! Thank you so much for your advice and great instructions! Have a blessed day!🙏❤

Very educational and professional video Andrew. Clearly spoken, no background noise, explained excellently.

[mikepechulis]

Very thorough and clear explanation. Liked that he used several different torches to show how to do the refill

Definite thumbs up. I have been so scared of attempting to fill my cooking torch- now I can finally make the brûlée part of the creme brûlée because I finally have the confidence to fill it! Ps how wonderful to have no background music- thank you- hearing impaired people often have a hard time with so called background music. This video is pure professionalism, a pleasure to watch.

Thank You Andrew! Throughout the whole day I was not able to fill my torch with the butane gas. The reason being is because in the afternoon that is when i bought the torch and gas. So I thought I knew what I was doing because I had the Torch facing up while I was filling it up with gas. So when I turn it on it does not flame. So i thought that the can was broken because I gave it some tries again. So i went to the store to buy another one and this time a more expensive one. Lol so when i got home it still did not work, so I looked up some videos on how to fill the torch. Most of the videos did not explain much and even sometimes boring. But when i stumbled across your video. I saw it completely, and Holy Sir you did good :D! You explained and was very clear on steps. You were not boring to hear either m8. And Sir, this video is underrated and deserves to have more views. Thank You.

Thank you for your thorough information! I just bought my first butane torch and was intimated on how to fill it with butane and use the torch. I truly appreciate your easy-to-understand instructions.

Thank you for explaining the procedure in such an easy and calm way. I watched about six videos about filling a tourch and was still afraid of doing it myself. Now I think I'll give it and try.

Missing step: After turning torch upside down in the filling pose, but before placing butane bottle on the torch, compress the filling nozzle of the torch with the tip of a ballpoint pen. Making sure the torch is in the upside down (ready to be filled position). Push the torch filling nozzle in for one to two seconds. This will release any pressure that usually would prevent your refill from having success, and leaving your torch only half-way full. By adding this one often unknown, yet simple/safe, step to the filling process you have guaranteed a successful torch fill.

HI Andrew I used these torches for a while, but I got so fed up of them running out of gas in the middle of soldering a piece of work, therefor the flame not being hot enough to melt the solder, I saved like hell and invested in the ez or orca torch well worth the money, great stuff again keep em coming .

[slyoldfox]

Very good Andrew, covered both safety and practical aspects. Very helpful.

[freddymac]

Thank you for a thorough and easy to understand video. I have my first torch (for searing sous vide meat) coming today and there has been some trepidation on my part about filling it. I definitely feel more confident after watching this. Once again, thank you.👍

[lloydster]

As commented previously, this is the clearest explanation that I have found on how to fill a butane torch. NOW I know why mine was "sputtering" after I refilled it! Thank you.

[TakeMeAWeigh]

Thanks for this:) I just purchased some supplies and found butane the other day. I have yet to fill the torch so this video was perfect timing.

[derylwilliams]

Like most of us, I now feel confident to have a go!! Thanks Andrew!!

[shaunarichmond]

Thanks had this butane torch over a year now never knew how to fill or even if it is full when I bought it all this time it was as easy as refilling a lighter the ones I already own and refill with this gas!

[AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Step by step, no extraneous chatter, everything clearly explained and shown, and safety measures emphasized. Can't get any better than that!

[aubreyfb]

Thank you so much for this video. It answered all the questions I had about using my blowtorch and filling it with gas. Perfect video and very well explained, touching on all important points I was concerned about beforehand!

[theexmann]

Thanks. Just bought on of these torches for cooking and wasn't sure how to fill it. Very helpful.

[drbsamra]

Very clear instructions. I found it very helpful. Thank you.

[MatthiewMarks]

Thank you for explaining this so clearly. I just bought my first butane torch and the instructions that came with it say "Stop refilling when the gas starts to overflow. Do not overfill." I was so confused by that and needed a video just like this one.
