    This tutorial shows how to refill a disposable NOT BIC lighter without damage it. Using a paperclip and a refill can. BUT when the lighter flint run out, the lighter will be useless (when this hapens, you can explode the lighter like in my other video)

    Haha the lighter I was looking to refill was the same color and model as yours and same with my gas bottle. It is like this was made for me. I used a mini screwdriver because I had no paperclip.

      Same here. I did everything he did except I didnt need the paper clip. I just turned the wheel a bit and used the original thumb press pad thing to hold the valve open. Worked great and now all my lighters are filled again.

    Clever way to keep these disposables out of the landfills! Thank you for recycling and for a great video! Just a suggestion, count how many turns before the refill, then turn back same number before testing the flame height............tweak if necessary.

    That light level lever crank trick is very handy on these cheaper lighters often set too high. Also if you use that trick on lighters with fluid that wont light, they will light again after a few cranks in a better direction(left or right).

    Really helpful bro, I'm 45 years old and I remember in my home town in Portugal where I originally come from I remember when I was a young boy every year we had a fun fair it's a traditional one it goes allover the country for a few months and I remember there was these men I used to see he was refilling disposable Bic lighters back then I remember the Bic lighters with a metal flame adjustable wheel and everyone was amazed by it but he never let anyone see how he did it he was telling people to come back after 30 minutes and for many years I was wondering how did he do it thank you bro this video it's kind of a childhood dream came true sort of speak.👍👍

  • @jimnielsen6667
    @jimnielsen6667 Před rokem +3

    You can take off the top of the lighter (black plastic, spark wheel etc) and then simply screw off the flame height adjuster and fill butane directly into it. Just gotta be fast screwing on the adjuster again before the gas vaporizes. The main reason you can't get that much butane into the lighter when you got the adjuster on, is because you build up pressure in the lighter. When gas goes in, air must come out. And by filling it directly into the flame adjuster hole (after removing the adjustment screw), it allows for the air to flow out of the lighter.

    Does this work for a classic Bic, I haven't seen any of these videos until just now but it just seems that it should work since the fuel comes out that way it should be able to go back in that way I'm beginning to think there's some kind of a backflow preventer or something

      @hyperboytkl1077 Před 3 lety +1

      Maybe after collecting those old lighters, and now armed with the knowledge of refilling and replacing flints, you could consider ‘overhauling’ those lighters, do a little cleaning, then sell them back like new. Kinda like recycling.

    Thank you for the excellent step by step tutorial ! My only problem is lighter flints are rather hard to find in my area in my country (The Philippines) due to the abundance of electronically ignited lighters available on sale all over town. So the sellers I was told, have “phased them out.” Any ideas to where I could readily find them? Another question is, will your procedure work with electronic disposable lighters?

    • @ThePaperAirplaneKing
      @ThePaperAirplaneKing  Před 3 lety +2

      You might find Flints on online stores, for electric lighters they usually have a valve in the bottom so refilling is just as easy as following instructions on the can

    Best way I've seen so far. The others all make a hole on the bottom and use a push pin as a seal. Not worth bothering. I did see one where the guy added a valve but where would you buy one? The lighter you are refilling looks like the cheap ones I have and they hurt your fingers. You have to push so hard on the wheel to light it. Bics might be worth refilling. I don't buy these cheap lighters. They came with the cigs.
