    You need to look for, the butane cans that have the little assorted
    nozzles inside the cap or moulded as part of the cap. It will
    announce on the can label that they will fit all nozzles. someplace
    that sells smoking stuff generally has this type of can.Take them
    and dry fit them to the torch for fit. The torches and cans are not
    going to give a real tight fit most times.To fill hold the can with
    the nozzle up right on a table/bench, with the adapter in place.
    Bring the torch down the torch fill port down on the nozzle. Press
    and hold down will filling. you may have to crack the valve while
    filling on occasion if the charge doesn't last, to purge the torch
    fuel cell. Also you can turn everything upside down and fill the
    torch with liquid gas. It will get cold, and most of them do leak to
    some extant. I have had a number of them over the years and have
    found they don't provide the best return time/use wise. The larger
    butane torch about 5 inches tall and self standing works better. 

    harborfreight.com Item number: 42099 

    Is a picture of an example of the torches. Harbor frights site is a
    great source for info,pictures and tools. If you are so inclined.
    They also list the other types of pencil torches and you can down
    load the product manuals for most of the items on the site so you
    can read the recommended instructions. 

    The usual disclaimers, legalize apply and the standard safety
    warnings when dealing with torches and pressurized cans of fuel. 

    Been there, still doing that but use a glove if they leak to bad!
