gk404 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I went looking for this the other day and couldn't find it anywhere. Hopefully someone has a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk404 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Looks like eBay has it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Try Whip-it premium butane. Best stuff I have ever used. I don't even purge my lighters. Usually find it in pot shops. quickme, Louich and gk404 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HakkaDog Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Thanks for the info guys. Yeah looks like eBay is the only place to get it from at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HakkaDog Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Actually now I'm wondering if CBSA will charge duty or import fees. It sucks that the eBay sellers only have the 1.9oz cans, but looks like this is the only place to purchase from right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louich Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Buy the one on Canada humidor and be done with it. you are ordering a controled substace ( gas) there will be a CBSA mandatory stop most probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HakkaDog Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 @LouichIt's not the same Butane. I already have the regular Xikar. Your right, CBSA will most likely stop it. I will just wait and see if Canada Humidor will be carrying them. They were released 2 years ago, just a little surprised no Canadian retailer carried this one as of yet, or if they did, I was unlucky to find one.

mcicvara Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I got both but don't see much difference in perfomance. Purchased black one in the states. gk404 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going try some hoping it would improve the performance of my lighter... I guess I should be looking for a better lighter instead. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HakkaDog Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Thank you for the info. From the review videos it showed a significant improvement. I'll stick to the regular Xikar for now, until Canadian retailers carry it or when everything calms down, I'll grab one when I go see my family in NYC.

Good move, tje important is to have 'filtered' gas so it does not clog the burner or the lighter. I have the 'old Xcar' gas and it does the job all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazie Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I just loaded my go-to lighter with the lotus triple filtered stuff. Wow. Like night and day, I am sure the xicar would be the same. I didn't think it would be like this, crazy how much better and responsive it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HakkaDog Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I got a response from CH, they advised me that no Canadian retailer carries the high performance butane because Xikar has not put a french translation on the bottle, this is a must to be sold in Canada.

Maybe order from Amazon? Since COVID, I'm getting all sorts of stuff from other countries without any French language in my Amazon orders.

HakkaDog Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Unfortunately, CAN Amazon does not list it. Have not checked US Amazon, but even if they do, I won't risk ordering it as it will most likely be seized at the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
