Best to Worst, the list is updated/reordered with the last non-volatile residue test result. (note there are two Xikars, UK and USA, two Fasfils, UK and Korea, two Purtanes, the original, and 9X, two Capital N-butanes, the original, and the new squat cans, and a few other oddities that are explained by perusing the entirety of the list)



Ecogreen's, or anyone else's bulk butane/propane refrigerant grade gases, R-600/R-290 may be just fine at any time, or not, and since I haven't been doing further checking, I suggest you distill it with a closed loop system, or at least test a sample before using it. The Certificates of Analysis you may find offered don't report the non-volatile residue, why is fully explained in this thread where I present the ASTM LPG residue standards.
