Default Re: Cleaning your lighters/lighter care

Lighter maintenance isn't really that hard. Granted, some lighters just suck. But, I've had very good luck with a wide range of lighters by:

1. I use Xikar butane. One large can has lasted me years - mostly using dual and triple torch for 10+ cigars per week.

2. Purge as OLS described - screwdriver, toothpick, key, etc....I don't do it every time I fill, but every 2-3 times.

3. Compressed air to clean the jets, as CigarNut mentioned. Won't take long before you can recognize when to do this -a little sputtering or ****-eyed flame, or.....anytime you know there's gas and you can see it sparking but the lighter isn't quite right
