Default Taymar blowtorch cartridge replace

Every 20yrs or so I need to do a bit of water pipe soldering - last

Anyhow out comes the old Taymar LG870 and the RF89 Butane cylinder is
empty (maybe I should have unscrewed the torch after last use).

Now I understand Taymar is defunct. I have a cylinder for a small
camping gas burner but that is a Butane/Propane mix and looking for
other cylinders on the net yield similar results - Butane/Propane mix.

So what can I use? Does the Butane/Propane mix make a difference?
Can I use the smaller cylinder? I don't want to unnecessarily fork
out £20 when the torch last worked fine.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
