Hold the can of butane upside down with the nozzle inserted into the tiny hole for refilling the butane! When the cartridge is completely empty, then you can fill it up.This is an important step and I think was my problem the first time I tried this. Put your instrument into the small hole and press until there is no pressure left, no sound, nothing. Use the smallest nozzle and first use it (or a pin or a screwdriver) to completely release any remaining gas or butane that is in the lighter.So, I thought that I could help out here, for anyone who was once, like me, confused. The best advice was found on a message board, but without illustration. A video from a kid (who shouldn’t be playing with lighters) didn’t help out, and gave advice that was opposite to what eventually worked. The worst advice involved removing the cartridge from a cigarette lighter and then removing the cartridge from the long lighter, and putting the cigarette lighter cartridge into the long lighter AFTER you’ve made a few small adjustments. The weird thing is that the advice that I found was super complicated and often wrong. I thought of this task more recently and realised that at the time, it was unlikely for there to be advice up on the internet, but nowadays, there is advice on EVERYTHING. But the thing is, the first times I tried refilling them, many years ago, I remember it being a complete disaster.īut things move fast these days. I’ve always found it wasteful, though they only cost between $2 and $6, to throw them out when the butane has run out. That is why I have always used long lighters. In situations where a gas stove needs lighting, I have always had the fear that I will light the gas and my whole hand. I spin the little metal dial, get the flame up, and then when trying to light my tea lights (which is the main reason why I would use a lighter), I manage to angle the lighter so that it burns my fingers. Aim away from face and stay away from any open flame or ignition source.(Originally posted 14 December 2017): Does anyone else have this problem? I’ve never liked cigarette lighters. NOTE: First read the warning labels and instructions on the can. Adjust the flame to your desired height and start using the lighter.ĭuring the refill process, it is a great time to check the burner nozzles of your lighter and clear them of any soot or residue that might have accumulated.Set your lighter down and do not touch it for 20 minutes so the temperature of the fluid inside stabilizes.Press the tip of the refill can over the inlet valve and press down firmly for 4-5 seconds.Hold the lighter and the can upside down and insert the can nozzle into the lighter.Turn the adjustment dial to the lowest setting (-).Set the lighter down for a few seconds and repeat until no air escapes. Press down to release any air inside the lighter. Take a small tool, like a screwdriver and insert it into the refill nozzle.Follow the simple steps below and your lighter will provide years of service. The most common mistake made in filling a butane cigar lighter is not purging the air inside the lighter. Whatever brand you choose, make sure you are using at least 2x refined fuel, which means it has little to no impurities. Using a cheap brand of fuel can damage the inlet valve and, more commonly, clog the burner valve. Ronson and Colibri brands are among the best and most popular. Refill cans are available just about anywhere, from your local tobacco shop to WalMart. Refueling your refillable butane lighter is quite easy.
