Setup: Butane Refilling
The mollie Mini Butane Torch Lighter is shipped without butane gas. You will need to purchase a long-tip butane canister separately. Ensure the torch is completely cool before refilling.
- Turn the torch upside down.
- Insert the nozzle of the butane gas canister vertically into the filling valve at the bottom of the torch.
- Press down firmly for approximately 5-10 seconds. Repeat 2-3 times until the torch is full.
- Wait a few minutes after refilling before igniting to allow the gas to stabilize.
