Ok,normally you turn lighter to low,in this case,leave it as-is. Turn lighter upside down,insert butane can & press down. When butane starts to come out,its full. Wait a minute or so & use.Chubba said:I fail at filling up lighters (something I have NEVER done, used Bic for 10 years), gave it a dry run and the lighter flame stopped at 240F
I put the lighter onto the can and I swear it seems like nothing is happening, do I just hold it there? I read online that I need to turn the flame all the way to "minus/off" before I refill... I also read to hold the can upside down and push into the lighter (also upside down) rather then sticking the lighter on top?
Hmmmm :/
Ummmm.....HOLY SHIT!!!! Sounds like that torch is bunk sir. I guess you can use the stove for now Just be very careful not to scorch the wood!!!!Chubba said:Nop, doesn't matter where I put it I don't get a jet flame.
It sounds like the gas is coming out the side rather then the tip, goes from being shutoff to REALLY loud.
I put a bic flame infront of it and the entire lighter/my hand went up in flames.
This happens a LOT when you use the el cheapo chinese Blazer knock-offs. I would personally Email Eddie & let him know. You paid for a torch that works & should get one,...not have to go out & buy one before you even get to use your SV (except by choice).Chubba said:Yep, it's good as dead I think... it's not a torch lighter anymore, it's a big leaking piece of shit, gas is coming out in every direction... no blue flame anymore, just massive yellow flames.
Guess I better go down to the tobbaconist tomorrow and buy a high quality torch.
EDIT: My boiler maker brother came in and confirmed it's rooted, he's taking me down to the hardware store tomorrow, says I can get a brutal butane torch for $30 that will absolutely blast, all hope is not lost
HOW?!!!!?quomist said:I know your pain Chubba. My torch died and subsequently lit me on fire so I need to get a new one too. I have a Vaporstar but refuse to use it with anything but a torch.
