Just a little more info for you guys that have owned or know about these. I have been working with it a little bit and here is what I noticed.

When the lighter is full, after each light if I hold my ear up to the lighter and I can hear a faint gurgling noise (possibly gas escaping). After a little while of lighting the lighter and letting the fuel go down to about the 3/4 point it stops leaking any butane and also stops making the faint gurgling noise.

Can maybe someone who has one of these lighters fill it up all the way and see if you can hear any noise.

Like I said before I just hate to have to send it back and wait a week or two (they're backordered) for a new one, when this may be the norm and the next will do the same.

Thanks all
