  1. Ignore that other load of tosh.
  2. Do not refill your lighter immediately after using it. You should allow enough time for the lighter to cool off.
  3. The flame height adjuster on the bottom of the lighter should be set to minimum by turning CLOCKWISE with a small screw driver. The smaller, usually Phillips head, screw is for dismantling the lighter and should not be touched. The adjusting screw is a larger screw with a standard (slot) head. Some lighters come with a key to turn the adjusting screw. Some models have an adjusting wheel that requires no screwdriver. Please DO NOT FORCE the adjusting screw. If it is hard to turn in one direction this most likely means that the adjustment screw is already at the (-) or (+) limit. Try turning the other direction.
  4. Push the refilling valve with a screwdriver to let out the air inside until no hissing sound is heard. Hold the lighter away from your face. Air inside the fuel tank prevents butane gas from being injected into the tank and causes the lighter to malfunction.
  5. ALWAYS refill the lighter in an upside down position to avoid injecting air into the lighter.
  6. Shake the butane gas refill can, press the stem of the refill can directly onto the refill valve on the bottom of the lighter. Keep them in a straight position and let the gas go into the lighter for about 5 seconds. Repeat for a shorter period if needed.
  7. Allow 3-4 minutes to let gas and lighter components reach room temperature.
  8. Turn the flame adjuster counter clockwise to reach the desired flame height.
  9. Hold the lighter away from your face and body and ignite it carefully. If there is no flame, repeat the refilling process.

  10. If you experience gas leakage with a hissing sound while refilling the lighter, either you are not holding the lighter and gas can in a straight position or the stem of the gas can is not suitable for the lighter. In this case you need to use an adaptor which is usually supplied with the gas can.
  11. Premium butane is required to ensure optimum performance of your lighter. Lighters require the cleanest butane available at a pressure of 45 psi. Recommended using Premium Triple Refined Butane Gas that are packaged in 10-13 oz. cans with a metal fill tip nozzle. Non-premium butane with plastic fill tip nozzles are not recommended as they may cause inconsistent ignition and performance. Impurity of the gas can cause clogging of the burner valve or malfunctioning.

    WARNING: PLEASE, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR LIGHTER AWAY FROM THE REACH OF CHILDREN. USE COMMON SENSE IN HANDLING YOUR LIGHTER.

    Troubleshooting: If you are having problems with your lighter, make sure that:

    You are holding the lighter upside down while refilling. If you did not hold the lighter upside down, there will be air inside the butane tank. You will need to let the air out and try refilling again.

    The flame height is properly adjusted.

    You are not using cheap or incorrect fuel.

    There is no dirt or debris in the lighter. Try blowing forcefully into the top part of the unlit lighter.

You must use only Dunhill butane. No other tips will work. Just go to your local tobacconist that sells Dunhill lighters and they will have what you need. Also, make sure you bleed out any other butane by leaving the top unhinged for a few moments before refilling with the high quality Dunhill butane. Been there, done that! I have several Dunhill lighters. LOL

P.S. DuPont lighters require the use of thier butane and tips. Believe it or not, there is a vast difference in quality from off the shelf butane and those made specifically for higher quality ligters,

I have a Vertigo triple flame jet lighter and I can't get it to take butane. It just spits it back at me. I already let the air out. What do I do ?

When I have trouble fulling butane lighters I try and see the size if the little nozzle in filling port on the unit..
If you do not use the correct size adapter to fit the little nozzle it will spit back.
Are you using a regular butane pack?
Or are you using a lighter refill pack with all the adapters?
Once the lighter refill pack is empty you might be able to use them on the regular butane bottle...

I need to buy Cartier gaz fill tank. Cartier shop in Prague doesn't have them. Whre can I get them on line? Is there an alternative brand of gaz filler bottles that I can use?

I am going to guess that you are talking about a Cartier cigarette lighter.

This is a photo of mine.

I use Zippo butane, but any high quality butane is acceptable.

It is easy to find an adapter to fit the nozzle on the bottom.

Be certain the lighter is upside down, with the bottom of the lighter facing up, and the butane is being pressed down into the lighter, so the butane nozzle is pointing straight down.
The lighter will get cold as it fills with butane.
A burst of 5 seconds should be sufficient

I have a dunhill lighter pat. #3910750 des. pat. #235456. When I fill it with butane, it leaks out of the top of the lighter. What is causing this?

Sounds like the valve that regulates the gas flow is sticking in the open position even when the lighter is not in use. Try spraying a light machine oil like WD40 on the gas jet aperture and any other moving part whilst your at it. Wipe excess oil from the lighter and leave for several minutes for the oil solvents to evaporate. Light the lighter a few times in rapid succession to enable the oil to penetrate. If the oils done it's job the gas should no longer leak.

I need to buy a butane tank for my Cartier lighter from the 80's, Cartier wont sell me one unless I agree to repair the entire lighter. So where in NYC can I find a place to purchase a tank?

If you can't find a used reservoir tank on eBay then you'll have no choice but to have Cartier service the lighter. Nobody sells new ones other than Cartier.

60's vintage ST DuPont Ligne1 small version lighter flame too small

Try Compressed air at the pilot flame jet or drilling the jet slightly larger. If no blockage is present, most likely a problem in the regulator pilot circuit.

WHERE CAN I GET A RESERVOIR FOR MY CARTIER LIGHTER

The reservoir tank can be the bane of existence for a Cartier lighter owner. Unlike most butane lighters which have gas tanks integral to the lighter, Cartier utilizes a user removable tank. Cartier only warrants the tank for two years. I've also seen tanks that say 12 months. New Cartiers come with one spare tank. I've seen spare tanks come up on eBay from time to time, for $30 - $50. If not, picking up a beat-up Cartier on the cheap just to remove and use its tank is an idea. Cartier does not sell spare parts of any kind (other than flints), so if your lighter needs a new tank they will probably insist you get a complete maintenance service, which can cost up to $300.
