Tips For Safely Filling Your Gas Lighter

Gas lighters are convenient for cigarette smokers. They are portable so you can easily fit them into your pocket or purse and take them around as you move. They are also affordable since you do not need to buy a new one when the gas gets exhausted. You can simply refill it and most lighters come with a small refill bottle.

Refilling Your Gas Lighter 

If you do not have the refill bottle in your home, you will have to go to the store to get it. As soon as you have it, follow the steps below to safely refill it:

Open the Valve at the Bottom of the Lighter 

Every gas lighter has a refill valve underneath them. Open the refill valve at the bottom and you should hear a slight release of air from the hole. This slight air release proves that there is no more gas in the lighter and it is ready for a refill. If you do not notice any release of air, attempt getting rid of the air by yourself. 

Fill it Up 

At this point, you can simply remove the seal from the small refill bottle, turn it toward the refill valve in the lighter and let the gas sink. In most cases, you will need to push it forward, toward the valve to initiate the release of gas. Repeat the action until the gas reaches the maximum line on the lighter. 

Seal the Valve 

With the gas safely inside the lighter, you need to seal the refill valve. Without proper sealing, the gas will leak out in no time from the refill valve. To prevent leaks, use your thumb to seal the refill valve first before you proceed to use the sealer that came with the gas.
