4. Setup: Butane Refilling
The lighter is shipped without butane fuel for safety reasons. It must be refilled before first use.
- Use Quality Butane: Ensure you use a high-quality butane fuel. Low-quality butane can clog the lighter's jets.
- Vent Lighter: Before refilling, invert the lighter and use a small tool (like a pen tip) to press the refill valve to release any residual air or gas. This helps ensure a full fill.
- Refill: Invert the lighter and firmly press the nozzle of the butane canister into the refill valve at the bottom of the lighter. Hold for approximately 5-10 seconds. Repeat 2-3 times for a complete fill.
- Wait: After refilling, wait for at least 5 minutes before attempting to ignite the lighter. This allows the gas to stabilize and reach room temperature.
- Check Fuel Level: The integrated fuel window allows you to monitor the butane level.
Note: Butane is not included with the lighter.

5.3 Adjusting Flame Height
The flame height can be adjusted to suit your preference. The adjustment mechanism is typically located at the bottom of the lighter.
- Locate Adjustment Screw: Identify the small screw or dial at the base of the lighter.

- Test: Ignite the lighter to check the flame height and adjust as needed.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lighter body with a soft, dry cloth. For the jet nozzle, use a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol if residue builds up. Ensure the lighter is completely dry before use.
- Cutter Maintenance: Keep the V-cutter free of tobacco debris. A small brush can be used to clear any blockages.
- Storage: Store the lighter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure it is empty of fuel if storing for extended periods.
