Veerrrryyy interesting!!!
Thank you again SH. Also thx for catching my dumb dumb slip up about the freezer and butane. I need to remember to be clear about what i am telling people when it comes to dealing with potentially deadly solvents.

Hi SkyHighLer, couple of quick comment and question for ya:

First: Really cool that this thread was started roughly four years ago and is still updated, that's dedication!

Second: I don't see Griffin Sunflame 7X fuel tested yet. I'm curious if you accepted cans from others to test? I'd like to in send you three or five cans to see what the results were.

It's not because I'm into concentrates (just haven't tried em yet lol), but because of an argument between me and a businessman over the quality of his colored-flame butane lighters manufactured in China. He blames the quality of the fuel I'm using (without knowing what it was), and now I'm curious to know where I stand on the matter after using both Griffin and Benzomatic fuels.

I figure if I send some Griffin cans to you, the results benefit both me (selfish) and the readers of your thread here.

Let me know, and again, nice job on this research!

^ I ordered a case (no singles available.)

Also ordered a case of whip-it! Premium 420ml for retesting, and hopefully use...

 

[SkyHighLer]

Special Blue 9X had 0.007g of residue

Special Blue 9X, Korea? 300ml can, reads on the bottom "150512"

The residue had a light yellow tint, and very little odor.

I like the oil I've been getting with the whipit! premium 420s... Will be tuning in to catch your test results

 

[TerpChild]

I love whip-it premium, i am curious if ultra pure is the same stuff but maybe a little more propane added into the mix to make the flow increase? Same 400 and 420ml bottles, ultra pure says northsea like whip it prem does.
Anyone out there used ultra pure to make oil?

 

[SkyHighLer]

Medicali 9X had 0.034g of residue

Medicali 9X, Korea? 300ml can, reads on the bottom "150108"

I'll be continuing the retesting for awhile, any other brands I completely missed?

 

[TerpChild]

Medicali = rebranded power 5?
