To fill a gas lighter with gas, you'll need a can of butane lighter refill. Here's the process:
-
Prepare the Lighter and Butane: Ensure the lighter is empty. Most butane refills come with multiple nozzle adapters. Select the adapter that best fits the refill valve on the bottom of your lighter.
-
Position the Butane and Lighter: Hold the butane canister upside down and firmly press the nozzle of the butane can (with the adapter attached, if needed) onto the refill valve on the bottom of the lighter.
-
Refill the Lighter: Press down firmly for approximately 3 seconds to allow the butane to flow into the lighter. You may hear a hissing sound.
-
Wait Before Using: After refilling, wait at least 2 minutes before attempting to use the lighter. This allows the gas to stabilize. This waiting period is crucial for safety and proper function.
-
Check and Repeat (If Necessary): Check if the lighter is full. If not, repeat the process for a few more seconds. Be careful not to overfill.
Important Safety Note: Refill lighters in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sources of ignition. Butane is highly flammable.
