HK-47Good morning, HK-47! Yes, the torch uses standard butane. But, please be mindful of the brand (s) that you use. Most butane from overseas has a lot of impurities mixed with the fuel and is NOT recommended as these fuels could clog the valve. A couple good brands to use is Bella Tavola and Zippo. Both fuels have been filtered at least 3 times and are made in the USA.
The fuel capacity is about 1.5 - 2 ounces giving you a long burn rate.
