My lighter issues

Here is what I bought, and I just refilled all my lighters and guess what? They didn't light, so I tried it again and now they light.....weird man, I think I need someone to show me how to do this.

Sounds like a herf....

The fuel makes a huge difference. I have two Blazer torches (one was "confiscated" by the wife), two other cheapo butane torch lighters, and some butane candles that are really nice. The brands listed are great, agreed. I use King butane and can recommend it highly. Big thing here is that King is very reasonably priced. I bought a 12 case of their big cans for $34.95 (shipping extra) and use it in all my butane torches and candles. Never a problem, works great.

Purge your lighter before filling, use good fuel, NOT Ronson...!! 99% of all problems go away if you follow those steps.

Good luck - N.F.H.

That's actually pretty common. The fuel will be very cold after the fill; give them 10 mins or so to warm up to room temperature and try again. Should be good to go then.

I was giving them 3-5 mins since I am impatient, but they have been sitting for good hour and 1/2 let me try again.

They seem to be doing ok now....thanks all and again for the noobness.

Sean...I'm still down for a herf.....get wit' me.
