FAQs

What type of gas is in this cartridge?

This cartridge contains a propane and butane mixture, designed for optimal performance in various temperatures.

How long will a 440g cartridge typically last?

The duration depends on the torch's gas consumption rate and the intensity of the flame used. For continuous use at medium settings, it can last several hours.

Is this cartridge refillable?

No, these are disposable cartridges and are not designed to be refilled.

What does the EN-417 standard mean?

EN-417 is a European standard that specifies safety and performance requirements for non-refillable, self-sealing gas cartridges used with portable appliances.

How should I dispose of an empty cartridge?

Empty cartridges should be disposed of according to local regulations for hazardous waste. Some recycling centers accept them after proper puncturing to ensure they are completely empty and depressurized.

Can I use this cartridge in freezing temperatures?

While the mixture provides better performance than pure butane in cold, extremely low temperatures can still affect gas vaporization. For very cold conditions, consider a blend designed for colder climates or a larger cartridge.

Troubleshooting

Torch will not ignite or maintain a flame.

Ensure the cartridge is properly screwed in and the connection is sealed. Check if the cartridge is empty. Verify the torch's air intake is not obstructed.

Gas leaks detected at the connection.

Turn off the gas immediately. Unscrew the cartridge and inspect the valve and torch fitting for damage. Re-seat the cartridge, ensuring it is straight and hand-tight. If the leak persists, discontinue use and replace the cartridge.

Flame is weak or inconsistent.

Check for obstructions in the torch head or nozzle. Ensure the cartridge is not running low on gas. The ambient temperature may be too low, affecting gas vaporization; try warming the cartridge slightly if safe to do so.
