Can lighters be fixed?

[Big Lewinsky]

I have 3, my fave, a Japanese Godzilla now doesn’t hold butane, and my Firebird cheap one, you can’t adjust the flame up,
My nice round one is still really my fave. It works great. But the other 2 bum me out.

I'm traveling and on my phone but I think someone posted a thread about what you can do. You absolutely have to have good butane. Start out by taking a toothpick and breaking it in half and bleed out any residual gas by depressing the little fill valve then refill w the good stuff. Also try taking a can of air or compressor and blow out the flame area. Then wish for the best. It doesnt always fix things.

Some SMEs will be along shortly.
