Ok, I just got mine and filled it. I ran into just a bit of trouble, but it may be because I was near the end of the can. What I found was that the valve seems a little deeper and its chamber is narrower on this lighter than on some of my others so it was slightly trickier to seat properly.Yes it does and I did actually try to use these, there are 5 different ones but they're all too large to fit into the lighter. The nozzle itself fits, and is metal but I am not sure if that matters or not
Maybe your filling tip has a graduated circumference, where it's slightly bigger around near the can, and smaller where it goes into the lighter's valve, and the wider part is hanging up on the tube-chamber surrounding the valve and thus activating the can when you push, but without the tip reaching far enough in to mate with the valve? If your can came with a longer tube, try that one and see if it can reach deep enough to seat on the valve.
One other thing I ran into was that for some reason (I was near the end of the can?) the first 1/3 of the lighter filled fine, but I could not get it to fill to the line unless I pumped it. It finally filled and it seems to work well.
Hope all this helps!
