Default Re: Cleaning your lighters/lighter care

I started noticing my Ronson Jetlites becoming less reliable after I removed the adjustment restriction washer and dialed up the flame length. At first I thought I was just going through more fuel and started refilling more oftend, but I noticed more and more puff-outs and mis-lights even with a known full tank. Instead of going out to the garage and pulling out the air compressor, I just gave them a few good blasts of butane right in the jet nozzle. This caused a bit of puff-out on the first couple of strikes afterward (I assume burning off the clean butane that dislodged the gunk) but after that they were back to new.
