Using A Cigar Lighter Right After Refilling
Windproof lighters are fantastic gadgets that ensure you can enjoy your preferred pastime no matter what the weather might be doing. However, you will eventually have to refill that lighter, no matter how much or how little you use it. While you might think you have a firm grasp on the refilling process, many smokers do not know whether the lighter can be lit directly after being refilled. Understanding the importance of this is vital. Here, you will find a handy guide to refilling that will answer your questions about immediate use.
First, you should not strike your lighter immediately after refilling it. This is because the lighter fluid is cold after being compressed by the propellant. Allowing the fluid to come to room temperature before you light is a very good idea. In addition, this will allow any spilled fluid (overspray) to evaporate, so that it does not catch fire and cause you injury.
How does the process work? First, hold the lighter upside down, so that the filler nozzle is visible. Keep it well away from your eyes. Next, insert the tip of the fuel canister into the fuel nozzle on the base of the lighter. Please note that some manufacturers recommend shaking your fuel canister prior to refueling your lighter while others do not. Read the can's label carefully to determine what you should do.
When the canister is fully seated on the nozzle, press it down. You will hear a hiss as the fuel begins moving from the can to the lighter. You will also notice the can grow quite cool in your hands, as will the lighter. Keep the flow of fuel intact for about five seconds before disengaging the canister. This helps to avoid overfilling the lighter.
Once the lighter is full, remove the canister and allow the lighter's contents to warm to room temperature. Once this occurs, you can adjust the flame height to your desired setting and ignite the lighter. If the lighter does not light, then you will need to repeat the refilling process. After each refill, you should ensure that the lighter and its contents are able to reach room temperature before you attempt to light the lighter again.
