Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
Try filling it with butane, let sit upright awhile, then let the butane out through the filling valve. Hopefully this will purge it.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
Anyone from the Boston area know where to get some of these? I tried two Rite-Aids, CVS, numerous convenient stores, and even a military apparel shop and no one had them. I am trying to avoid going online and paying 3x the amount in shipping that others are paying at wal mart.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
I carry two on me at all times. Love them. My $50 Lotus broke, I gave it to my local B&M owner to have him send it in for warranty repair, and I haven't bothered to ask for it back :)

Captain53 thought I should try one and here's what happened.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
Only issue I've had with one of these is using it in Estes Park, CO. 7500'+, took it down to a mile and it was fine again.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
I have a couple of these and they have worked great. Just using regular butane in them.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
I looked all over the place for them and finally found them for $3.00 a piece at Big Lots, here in Eastern North Carolna.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
new to forums..just a question about refilling- I'm new to refilling butane lighters.
I followed a youtube video instruction- pushing the valve to release whatever air out first, then pumping the butane canister a few times into the lighter. My jet lite lights up again..but only on high. On low, it won't light up & I'm certain it maintained a smaller flame on low when it was new. Is this normal? Is this a sign I haven't filled it full? (when it was getting close to low..i noticed that it wouldn't light on low but still lit on high). I've purged & tried refilling a few times now with the same result. Just curious..thanks. |
Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
One thing I would say about purging is to make sure not to just let go of the valve after you hear the big release of gas. After that big release get your ear right up to the lighter and wait till you hear the soft hissing stop. That soft hissing is the key in purging a lighter because it is not the butane but the excess oxygen in the tank that prevents the fuel from mixing and lighting properly. I personally don't "pump" the canister into it as I feel that it can insert oxygen and not fill it completely. Instead I just press the canister firmly into the lighter until I hear it hissing from overfilling(typically just a few seconds into the filling, depends on size of tank) then release it and wait for a few minutes before attempting to light it again as the gas has to warm up to room temp before being effective. Also turning the lighter to "low" while purging/filling may aid you, then after it is warmed up and ready to go, you can turn it back up to your desired flame height. Hope this helps! And welcome to the forums!
