I'm heading into the Atacama and would like to pick up camping supplies in Calama, Chile. Does one buy butane/propane canisters at a gas station or are there outdoor stores? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

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.
