Is isobutane propane the same as butane propane?

Butane, isobutane and propane have different vapour pressure and boiling temperatures. Butane, n-butane, and n butane are all the same thing, as are isobutane and i-butane. The poorest choice for cold weather, with a -0.4\xb0C boiling point, is n butane vs isobutane at -11.75\xb0C. Propane is the best at -42\xb0C.

Can I use propane instead of isobutane?

For cost-effectiveness or winter use, white gas is best. If you're going on a light-and-fast backpacking trip, go with isobutane or butane. Or, for fuel efficiency while car camping, propane is your go-to.

Can you use isobutane propane mix with a propane stove?

Propane can burn at MUCH lower temperatures than butane (because of its higher vapor pressure). Just because your stove takes a fuel blend doesn't mean it can be used with pure propane or butane. Always use the fuel recommended for the stove.

Are isobutane canisters reusable?

To refill isobutane canisters, I use the G-Works Gas Saver Plus (R-2) (Photo Set 1 top right). G-Works Gas Savers are available in two versions: Gas Saver (R-1) & Gas Saver Plus (R-2). Both designs incorporate a two-way transfer valve \u2013 gas vapors flow upward while liquid fuel flows downward.
