Once upon a time when I was a smoker (80s of last century) there were lighter gas bottles with 6 adapters in the cap. There was always one that fitted.
This one here comes with 5 nipples according to the Dutch description: http://www.aanstekerwinkel.nl/zen-ca...products_id=15
The one underneath might be easier for you to order from. If you click on the image you can see a little thingy at the bottom of the zoom-in picture that shows you a red plastic ring with 5 snap off filling nipples.

Nope, Brad, the one from you is serving me totally without issue and I'm still loving her. Thanks again!
Here is a picture of the nozzle on the problem child. I have adapters that came with a Blazer bottle, and at the tobacco shop the guy tried all the ones from a Xikar (however it's spelled) bottle - nothing has worked so far.
I'm not sure how well you can see it, but there is the pin, and when the pin is depressed, the hole for butane is barely any wider than the pin itself. The top of the pin looks a bit like a flathead screw, but I'm not sure if that is useful information or not.

How about this: a specialised on line Colibri lighter store: Colibri Lighter Accessories
They should be able to help.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

Holli, what is the diameter of the small hole?
May be, the simple "Colibri Premium Butane" is good.Alex Ts.

I have a similar can of Colibri butane with a similar red nozzle, but no go. It's an older, non-standard valve.

Now I'm trying to find butane, made in China, but it has a cap with 6-8 different adapters. Problem, that now is night, and my wife is sleeping.

I have purchased adapters for Dupont lighters in the past, even vintage BRs (the ones that use almost impossible to find adapter versions of Dupongas.)
I know someone with a vintage Dunhill in your same situation who he made an adapter for. He's very reasonable and friendly as well.Last edited by Bayamontate; 12-09-2009 at 05:23 PM. Reason: Spelling
