Still Watching My Back

I have had a Colibri lighter for years now. I know, I know, everyone bashes Colibri, but this thing has been great and super reliable for 4+ years, besides it was a gift from my GF. The issue is that when I fill the lighter, the fill valve stays pressed down slightly, allowing the butane to leak back out of the lighter. I bleed the lighter fairly often and use good lighter fluid. Anyone know a fix for this? Do I need to get a new lighter? Will Colibri service this (I have no warranty or purchase info)? Any help would be great.

Try a drop of rubbing aclohol around the stem, if there is any dirt there it may clean it out.

I jumped on their web site and as far as I can figure, Colibri only has a one year warranty. Since there is a sentimental attachment to the lighter I'd give them a call if the rubbing alcohol doesn't work. It probably won't be free since it's no longer covered by warranty, however, they may still repair it for a fee.
Or Xmas is around the corner, maybe it's time to ask your GF for a new one. ![]() |
