Grimweeder Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 so i went to poundland to buy some gas the other day an when i got there they actually had it in stock this time (usually they are out). anyway the usual bull brand used to be zero impurities an a pound a can so was really cheap an good. when i checked the can i noticed it now has a silver bull instead of a red one and no longer has the zero impurities logo on the front or anywhere listed on the can. does anyone know if they have changed the quality of their gas or was the logo just left out to maybe save money on the ink or something? or did they save money by not making it zero impurities? jus wanted to know if its worth buying it still or wether i should order online for 2-3x the cost per can for another brand. any help/info is much appreciated. i have a can i can test i bought for lighters. i can do the usual mirror test if thats any good if nobody knows anything.

Sancho Panza Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 i dunno about the near zero an weather or not they still make but i guess they do because asda have been stocking the stuff with the near zero sticker on it for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy Marsh Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 They told me they still get the zero impurities stock sometimes but it's upto the suppliers what they send, they just ask for gas. If everyone asks poundshop for the zero impurities cans they might order them specifically next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimweeder Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 well that was pointless my asda only sells liquid petrol crap for zippos. dunno why they dont sell normal gas. the search continues..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotnwhy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Al the pounds shops and other places round me that used to stock gas no longer do. The reason? They were "getting cleaned out with bulk buys the day they came into stock. Too many gas huffers in this town" First time I've ever known any shop to drop something that sells on account of ethics... I get mine from an eBay seller that has an online store. Cheaper than eBay, and you can get 12 large cans for under £25 without leaving your house! [edit] got my numbers and prices wrong... It is more expensive online, but still a fair deal in my view. And of course so much easier! Edited April 1, 2015 by wotnwhy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 you can buy Newport online for a pound a can but you have to buy 30 at a time. B&M also stock bull brand for a pound a can, the cans around my way are all still zero impurities but i'll be keeping a close eye on them now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling-archer Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Newport ftw, i thought bullbrand tasted funny and my pals vac purge with it, even then i find it wasnt as nice to me. I also found maplins was good too but no idea of the tech sheet data on impurities etc. Google the ppm tests on butane and pick the top performers i say (think skpharma did it) , i was suprised at how some big names were actually crap compared to others you see alot in cheap shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The lone stoner Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If you're concerned about using any brand of butane you can get an idea of it's cleanliness by doing a simple test. google 'skyhighler bag test' and you'll find it I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicfirth12 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just phoned bull brand and they said they can no longer can print the 'near zero' cans because that is newport's logo but they then went on to say that newport supplies bull brand?! I asked if the cans with red tops and the silver bull still contain clean tane and the answer was "some do some don't" Im goning to get some and do a test alongside the old labled can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Froman Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 just read the milligram scale bag mason jar method and thought -is spraying it onto a mirror no good as a basic test for impurities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
