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!
Well, in the interest of accuracy, please remember that oxygen is what causes butane and other things to burn. I think you mean to say "air" gets into the lighter. Since air is about 80/20 nitrogen/oxygen, it can dilute the fuel. If you were truly inserting only pure oxygen, you would be making a rocket.:)

I knew I would get a little flak for that :). Don't know why I wanted to sound smart and said Oxygen when I meant air. Thanks for the correction!

thanks. will keep that in mind as i refill again.

So, the jet lite 'should' produce a small flame on low right...not lighting on low is a sign of low fuel/improper refilling?

I've been searching for a Ronson locally, for about two weeks. I wound up buying the one lighter Walgreens had in stock, and it was an "Elite Brands"

At Wal Mart, they should be in the only aisle you can buy tobacco products in. Walgreens and Rite Aid usually have them behind the counter with the tobacco products.

I've been all over my town looking for a few of these guys so I don't have to worry about losing my more expensive lighter when I am out and about. Nothing yet, hopefully I'll come across one at some point and I'll probably grab a few in case I don't see them again.

A lot of Walmarts do not carry them anymore. Also the ones that do carry them often run out, that happens to the Walmart close to me. Most of the time they will be hanging on a pegboard in the checkout line amongst a lot of junk including the bics. Or if they have a smoke section they will be hanging around that checkout. They are in a blue cardboard package and trust me you have to look hard to find them. Most of the employees have no clue what you are talking about if you ask them - a real surprise there! Sometimes you can find them hanging on the checkout aisles at Big Lots for $3.00 but there again hit or miss just like Walmart.

A buddy of mine and I found them in the tobacco isle at Walmart. We asked an employee if they had them and they said they didn't carry them anymore, but there were a few left with all the butane bottles.

Seems like they can be a hit or miss depending on the area...

After walmart and 2 walgreens in Memphis, I found 3 at rite aid. They were not behind the counter with the cigarettes though. They were in a little section on the aisle side of an endcap.
