instead of surf'n through all the other BS here's how the dude said you can do it:
When it is empty take a pair of needle nose pliers,pull the brass out the top of the cylinder(try not to ruin the o-ring),under that you will see a solid white piece of material,poke a hole with a needle in it.Push the brass back in.Get one of those KING butane cans with the different tips.Find the tip that fits in the brass.Cut a very small v-notch in the tip of that.Place the butane cartridge on a table,and insert tip of KING butane can in it.Press down.You can now re-fill your bottle any time.

.......The brass fitting is what stops and starts the flow.When you poke the hole in the material that is under the fitting that is what allows you to be able to re-fill the cartridge.When you put the brass fitting back in push it in real good.Then fill it with the KING butane can.The whole process is to poke the hole so fluid can go in.Everything else will be just like it was.
Well I don't have an empty one laying around..LOL..but here are the basics.Grip your needle noses right here..
Pull that brass fitting out,and under it poke a hole with a needle.When I say under it.I do not mean the brass fitting.I mean under it where it was sitting.The hole will go into the chamber of the cartridge.This will allow the butane to go in.Again.Make sure you use an empty one.It may hiss,but don't be scared.A sewing needle,or pin is preferred..Without poking this hole the canister will not re-fill.Push that fitting back in..Make sure it is seated.
Get a can of this..
Find the fitting that will fit in your brass fitting...
Cut a small v-notch here..
Put the tip in,and push down...Only fill about like the new ones are.U can make a mark with a permanent marker to know when to stop.
Voila!You're in business...Now don't tell everyone...only your friends.
BTW this post will self destruct in a few minutes..lol

now just figure out what to do about the "blue things"
lasting for about 15 minutes...I cant run a butane out without going through tons
of those damn things
thanks s420 I figured some one would cut out the bs and post the pro tip
Bone....
one blue thing lasts me about half a bottle of gas. once one side turns colors, flip it over... it will last longer than you think
nah..they are ragged way before a half a bottle...Hunting in the Congaree Swamp you
gotta have fresh bluesor you are toast..
Yeah, I always a lot more of the "blue things"
I've always said they could be making as much as they wanted to on a Thermacell - I would pay whatever they wanted to sell them for.
oh yeahhhhhhhhhhh
just soak the damn pads in some deep woods off let them dry and then try that. If it works then you have a solution. If you start getting carried away......well then back to the drawing board.

the guys on that site tell how to reuse the blue things too.
copy and paste that here so we don't have to keep going back there.
I read through the bs about recycling them to use them as scent pads but stopped looking over there once I got to the butane refill part......

Mentioned trying Permanone on the pads.
"The pads are soaked in Allethrin which is just a different name for Permethrin, the main ingredient in Permanone."
They're a sponsor ain't they? Let's ask'm.Them cartridges are seasonal up here and the skitters are usually hungry before and after the retailers got the stock out.
We gave you Corn,you gave us clap,bad trade.
if they are really a sponsor, do we really wanna broadcast that we are trying to get out of paying for their refills?
use to be.......
