Plugged lighter

[CaptBirde]

i dunno...im just saying, i had a problem, with what im assuming was the butane, and i followed the instructions multiple times on refilling procedures...and the damn thing just wouldnt stay lit...than i switched over to the colibri fuel and all of a sudden it started working flawlessly...

im really not an authority on this.... im just sayin wat worked for me

BTW i was using ronson fuel before

I have first hand seen more than 1 lighter go from non working to fully functional with the addition of quality butane.

Ronson being the culprit of many clogged lighters. I know one trick for badly clogged colibris is to take a VERY fine syringe needle(attached to syringe) filled with ZIPPO fluid. Light it and it normally will burn off the clog. I have not tried this before but it has been rumored to work. I only use good fuel in my lighters.

I avoid the whole issue and use a bic most of the time. In all but the worst wind it works just fine.

I have a copper Zippo I'll admit I use regularly as well.

Gentlemen, The truly 'smart' guys read instructions first, the butanes recommended by
a manufacturer truly are more refined. General rule of them should always be "If your
investing in a quality purchase, always protect your investment with the appropriate
recommendations".
