How to maintain your torch / jet-flame lighter.

I have had several lighters over the last few years and have had great success with all of them. My Cybernetic Jet has been dropped on concrete several times, dropped in the lake once and has just taken an overall beating in the last 3 years. It has even had a part fall out of it after I dropped it. It still lights, first time, every time. I have yet to have even 1 lighter fail using the 
techniques outlined below. Will this work for you? The trick is good maintenance and proper refilling of the lighter. This goes for all torch lighters such as Blazer, Prometheus, Colibri and 
knockoffs. Unless your lighter is physically broken and will not spark or the tank has burst or some other drastic physical defect, it will work.

**Two things to remember. If there is an ignition spark, and you can hear fuel hissing from your lighter when you press the igniter button, chances are 99.99% that your lighter will light after proper adjustment.


Refilling your torch lighter:

Step1. Drain all existing fuel from the lighter using a pen, small screwdriver, or some other small pointed object by depressing the fuel refilling nozzle. 

Step 2. Turn the flame adjustment screw all the way clockwise to shut off all fuel flow. 

Step 3. With the fuel nozzle on your lighter pointing up, press the can of fuel into the lighter with the fuel can nozzle pointing down. Be patient, a lighter does not become refilled in 2 seconds. DO NOT pump the the fuel can into the lighter. On some of the 
less expensive lighters, this could cause the tank to rupture.

Step 4. After refilling, let the lighter rest until it reaches room temperature. The fuel is cold when refilling and will expand as it reaches normal temperatures. 

Step 5. Turn the flame adjustment screw ½ turn counter clockwise and try to light the lighter. Keep turning the screw in ¼ turn increments until the lighter lights. Make minor adjustments as necessary.
