Important: Airlighter ®s do not come with fuel. Airlighter Fuel or other butane needs to be purchased separately. 

We highly recommend using Bison branded fuel ONLY. Airlighter's performance and reliability is dependent on good quality butane and the right filling nozzle. We highly recommend using Bison branded fuel because the filling nozzle and fuel has been tested to work well. Low quality butane can create difficulty filling, possibly clog the internal jets and create a weak performing flame. The Airlighter will still work with other butane brands but we cannot guarantee the performance, reliability, or ease-of-filling of your Airlighter.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS - WARNING:  This product is tested with butane fuel and may still contain traces of butane fuel.  This product also uses butane.  Butane fuel, and byproducts of combustion of this fuel can expose you to chemicals including carbon monoxide known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

WARNING: Contents under pressure when filled. Do not puncture or incinerate container.  Do not expose to heat or store at temperatures above 120F (49C).  KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
