I have an old Wella Pyropen, butane gas powered portable mini soldering iron, very handy tool when you need to do a quick solder job. But the damn thing randomly stops working, it'll be fine for weeks/months and then one day I'll try using it and the gas will not want to flow or if it is its barely enough to keep a pilot flame alive. Refilling the butane doesn't help, I'll fiddle and then eventually throw it in the back of a drawer only for it to be discovered again a few months later and be found to be in perfect working order again.
Would could possibly be the cause of this behavior?
I use Newport butane gas(made in the UK) from the PnP cigarette counter, seems fine but I have seen mention that quality of the butane can make these things behave erratically, if so what should I be looking out for when it comes to the butane gas?
