Lighter Refilling

[SuperChuck]

One more thing BT, every so often, you have to purge the air and remaining fuel out. Maybe one of the FOGs here can elaborate better as to why, but sometimes my Nibo torch won't light, and it won't take any more fuel. I have to drain it, refill and then I could solder with it if I wanted!!!

Whenever possible, I purge mine every time I fill it. I usually use a small screwdriver to depress the fill hole. Probably not something you want to do while smoking, or near an open flame. :)

MONK:
Thanks for pointing that out. I meant to, but forgot. My Nibo does not spray back at all.

CHUCK:
In our younger days, purging it near a flame probably would have been the hilight of the day!! When I purge mine, I just hold the lighter valve (not the refilling valve, the main activator clicker) open 'till it's drained. I'm kinda hesitant about damaging the filler stem with the prybar ...... shit ....... I mean screwdriver!!

hehehe.. I spent a summer cooking at an outdoor restaurant. The pilot light on one of the fryers didn't work, so I used to just turn on the gas and flick matches into it until it exploded. Lost a couple eyebrows that way. :)

Yeah, but I'll bet you never had a problem keeping a cigar lit.
