$38 from Amazon. $6.28 for butane from Amazon and $5.00 form Home Depot. The butane from H/D is a much better value

Lighter Butane is designed for Lighters, it contains impurities, and does not burn as hot.

WB1/WB2 Weller butane is supposedly "Filtered" and runs cleaner, and designed for Weller Portable Soldering Irons.
