Please buy a good quality butane fuel purchased from any hardware store.
With practice, you will get use to filling your butane torch.
1.Grab your butane torch and butane canister and go outside (You want to have adequate ventilation when you are filling the torch).
2.If your butane torch has a stand at the bottom that can be removed, go ahead and take it off and put it aside.
3.Remove the cap from the butane.

4.Turn the butane torch upside down. You’ll see a filling point on the bottom of the butane torch. Insert the tip of the butane canister and press down firmly.

The butane will flow from the canister into the butane torch. If you hear fuel escaping out the butane torch head during filling, stop and tighten the knob that regulates the butane flow. Fill the butane torch until the butane makes a slight spitting noise at the filling point (about a 10 count). Then replace the stand on the butane torch, stand it upright, and let the butane settle for about 30 seconds or so. Store my butane canister away from your working area.

Turning on the Torch:

Consult the directions that came with your particular butane torch for directions on how to turn on your butane torch, but there are some basic concepts that apply to all micro butane torches:
Ensure that your working area has a fireproof surface and put on a pair of safety glasses before turning on your butane torch. Point the head of the butane torch about 8 to 10 inches above that surface at a 45-degree angle and turn on the butane torch by starting the butane flow and clicking the ignition button. Adjust the flame to its highest point then to its lowest (usually a lever or knob) to get the feel of the size of the flame.

Understanding the Flame:
Now examine the flame itself. (Sometimes it’s best to view it under dimmed light.) You’ll see an inner and outer flame. The outer flame is a dark transparent blue. The inner flame is lighter and more opaque in color and comes to a sharp tip inside the outer flame. Just in front of that lighter flame is the “sweet spot” or the hottest part of the flame and the point to quickly heat metal and flow solder. You’ll move this tip up close or farther away from the surface of the metal to control the rate of heat on the metal.

If you move the flame too close to the surface, you will hear a sound that resembles wind or a slight hiss and see a dark spot in the middle of the heated metal. You have gone beyond the sweet spot of the flame. The inside part of the inner flame is cooler, which means it will take longer to solder your pieces.

After you are done examining the flame, turn the butane torch off. Place the butane torch upright on the fireproof surface. Remember that the tip will be hot, so point it away from you.Congratulations! You have conquered the first steps using a butane torch. Let me also recommend, as with any complex jewellery tool, to get out the instructions that came with your torch and read them. There is a wealth of information on that piece of paper!
