In this article I will tell you how you can extend the life of a lighter that does not have a gas valve.
To do this, we need an empty disposable piezo-lighter, gas canister with a set of adapters, two matches and tweezers.

necessary tools and materials


We start by disassembling the lighter, remembering the location of the parts.

Next, with tweezers or a sharp knife, you need to unscrew the flame adjusting screw by about 1-2 turns.

We take the matches and with a knife sharpen their tips a little.

We put the bracket in place and slip the matches under it.

With this, we raise the gas valve. We select an adapter that fits tightly on the tip of the valve, and remove the lighter with matches for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator freezer. By freezing the lighter, we will achieve a better gas flow when refueling. We take out the lighter from the refrigerator and immediately proceed to refuel.

refuel the lighter


Attention! Refueling away from open flames. With one hand we put a can of gas on the valve and press it. We withstand 10-20 seconds and, without releasing the spray can, we pull out the matches with our second hand. Next, remove the spray can and proceed to the assembly of the lighter.
Turn the adjusting screw almost all the way. We put all the details in place and check the height of the flame.

How to fill a disposable lighter


This method of refueling the lighter withstands about 6-8 times. Then the valve wears out and begins to "poison" the gas. This way you can refuel and silicon lighters. But if you have to remove flint and a wheel, then it is difficult to put them in place after refueling.

    In this way, we refilled disposable lighters exactly 20 years ago. so this is not news.

    It can be easier. Without taking apart the lighters. We take the needle from the syringe, cut off its pliers, insert it into the nozzle, the end of which is cut off, and the other we put on the spray can with gases. At the same time, we press on the bolon and the gas release button on the lighter
