Blazer Lighter

[Sunward]

Well, I have had this BLAZER Gemini™lighter for less than a year, and it stopped on me. I tried using rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to clean the jets, no luck. Then i tried adjusting the spark gap, still no luck. The lighter sat for 2 months on a shelf not being used. After stealing the wifeys Bic's 3 times, and getting lectured, i thought maybe i would try a new tactic to clean the Blazer's twin jets. Compressed air (for use on computer circuit boards) One blast and it works like brand new. Musta been a particle stuck in there, resulting in me slowing down my cigar consumption. Just thought i would post this very simple solution to an annoying problem.

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip. Do you bleed it before filling?

It seems that the same happens to Colibri lighters. Sometimes the ones I use have the same problem and a burst of air helps solve it. Thanks for the heads up. :thumbs:
