Fixing a broken butane lighter…
You must be logged in to post a comment.
I have a really old rowenta electronic. the flame works, but I need to
start it with my jet lighter because looks like the ignition system uses a
22.5 battery to work. Do you know if these batteries still exist?
I wouldn’t suggest taking a lighter to school at all these days. Probably
would be considered a weapon…
I have a pretty cheap electric butane lighter, but when I press the button,
there is no spark, is there a way to recharge it somehow? Thanks
i have a prometheus kkp. ive taken the lighter apart so i could figure out
why my lighter wont light. it seems that gas is not being released at all
from the tank. ive tried fixing the adjuster knob but that wont do
anything.
Was hoping u could help me out here I have a jet light that’s not shooting
gas to the spark it’s filled up n all I was messing with the flame setting
n it spazzed out in me n I tried to fix it but when I took it apart
something dropped out what do I do
I have a beautiful Rocket Lighter that works perfectly. I am putting my
belongings in storage for 2 years and figured I should empty the lighter
fluid before storing. Would you agree? The crazy thing is that I purchased
it on Ebay and was shocked when it shipped from England to California,
filled with lighter fluid in it. I just hope that it works as well once I
refill it in 2 years. Do you see any issues?
So helpful, great video man :)
is there anyway to fix a windproof lighter.
who makes that lighter?
it is cool!!
I have a colibri with 1 jet. It has fuel (butane) but no spark ! Can
someone tell me what to do !!
You’re a good person to fix your friend’s lighter!! The spark is
piezoelectric (it’s just the opposite of inkjet printers where voltage is
applied to the printing head). The only thing I can add, it helps to warm
the can of (refill) butane first before filling. I guess this raises the
pressure of the gas. I agree with Oliver, completely purge all the gas out
before refilling. In my opinion, the piezoelectric spark element is the
first thing to fail, especially with cheaper Ronson brand lighters; the
plastic element case cracks.
I have a colibri with 2 jets, but one of the 2 jets gives a regular flame
instead of a jet. Any idea what the problem could be?
@cutlerylover i have a lighter just like this, but no gas seems to be
coming out what so ever, would you know what could be the problem? and i
know there is butane in it
hey, u saved my lighter! thanks for the vid!
turn down the gas …..
i have a theory, as i have tried it with some of my other lighters, because
of the speed of the jetfire which goes away to fast try lowering the amount
of the gas from the jet lighter. please try it ant let me know if it works.
thanks
Hahaha nice vid I hope you make more this vid help me thanks
Before filling a butane you should take a small screw driver and push down
the intake valve to release the gas, this is the most common problem with
refueling them when you think they don’t work. If you have a spark then
release the gas first.
Liked you video on fixing the butane lighter. Can you help me out of where
to find or buy filling valve at the bottom of the lighter?
where do u guys get that cool dual fire lighters. in my country, it’s
either normal fire or jet fire. not both.-.-
love this video–its really fun to watch. My guess is that there is a kink
or clog in the clear hose that goes to the natural flame extender. COOL
STUFF
thank tat helped me alot
Do the electric striker mechanisms last long or do they wear out making the
lighter useless?
Want to try an fix my butane lighter? Its leaking fluid when you try to
fill it. Its leaving where you fill it.
did u said: looks like a little BONG or something…,, ??
great vids jeff if only you could make them quicker 🙂
residue from the gas! im good like that
betcha $20 the bottom is scatched to hell because Tex tried to adjust it
with a fukin recon 1 haha
ive had this issue so many times its usually that the lighter is dirty and
releasing fluid at a slow rate clean the valves with rubbing alcohol if
that dosnt work go buy a cheapo electric lighter at a dollar store and
remove the igniter and put it in your lighter… the next issue could be if
the wire coming from the igniter is too close, too far, or not centered
from the metal valve… just move it with a pen
super-informative.
@wax147 BOMB
Is it possible to find a new ignition module? I love my eagle lighter, and
I -REALLY- don’t want to replace it.
Yeah! 720p HD video. Awesome Jeff.
you should see if you can get a macro mode, or macro lens for your camera,
if you can interchange them, would be perfect for your close up videos
maybe if you try tinkering with the flame adjuster it might light that
second regular flame
I have a lighter that I like very much and I can hear the gas in the line
and it doesn’t light. Something isn’t right because it worked before. If I
sent you my lighter, could you look at it and see if you might be able to
fix it. I would pay you. If you want I can send you a picture of it. Not
many people want to fix it. I appreciate you thinking about it.
cool
It’s been 2 weeks and you most probably have a different lighter by now,
but if this happens again, you probably only have to adjust the little wire
that gives the spark. Make sure it’s striking in the right place. If that
doesn’t work try and give it all a good clean and if all else is right it
should work. If it still doesn’t work, it’s not worth trying much else
unless it’s a particularly close lighter to your heart.. You can try
bleeding and refilling the lighter too.
use a really small drill piece and drill out the hole.. a tiny big bigger,
i think that when the jet flame is on its sucking all the gas away from the
hole and the hole is too small
@brownbear696969 did you watch this is 720?
I have a Colibri Moelectric 88 lighter, it is a piezoelectric lighter as
you know. When I depress the button there is no spark, can’t hear any noise
of hammer striking either. Not sure how to open the lighter; there are two
screws at the bottom of the lighter. Of these two the smaller one is for
adjustment and the large one cover the fuel charge point. Any help will be
much appreciated. Kind regards
The problem I’m always having is that I can see it spark when I click the
lighter but it won’t ignite, you can take a second spark or flame and light
it with that, so fuel is coming out but it won’t ignite off of its own
initial spark. I need to figure out how to fix that shit.
