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.

I love potheads. We're so creative.

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.

dude you are a fucking genius. PROPS HOMIE! Thanks for teaching me how to refill my lighters. I had this big ass can of butane and this is so awesome! NO MORE SMOKING BOWLS BY THE STOVE WITH A TOOTHPICK LOL

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).

Thanks for instruction. If I knew it in past I could save a lot of lighters. Better late than never. Thanks again.

Best vid i seen how to refill a cheap lighter worked like a charm

This helped a lot, I was developing my webshooters and didn't know how to get the gas propellant into the casing. Thanks a bunch

This was the best refill video. Simple and easy. These Ultimas are the shit too.

U saved my live bro! Subscribed!

Great fix! I just wanna elaborate that you don’t use the lighters to smoke cigarettes. Keep the lighter and toss the cigs. Haha. A PSA from an ole geezer.

I knew that was the only way possible because I didn't have any refillable. Blessed thanks

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.👍👍

This video sure help me tonight, thank you

Really helpful, thanks!

This is some Cuban-level ingenuity.

Thanks for the tutorial. I found a drawing pin was a bit easier to use as a lever as the paperclip would keep bending

perfect also flints are easy to replace too. great job! only prob is now i will be picking up abandoned lighters.

thanks i found an even better version of this method using the paper clip

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.

dear Adrian Lopez, Greetings from New Mexico! Thanks for this video on refilliing the disposable lighter. Very professionally done. Please make more videos. pierre

Thank you, Easy and works well

Thanks for sharing this man, you’re a genius. I’ve been trying to find a way to do this for some time now but couldn’t really figure it out. Cheers

Thank you 🙏🏼 I got a macho Randy Savage lighter but you can’t refill but now I can after this video 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Thank you! Very helpful.

Nice. Filled up my long lighter this way.

+Adrian Lopez if you press down on the button when inserting gas will it still work

Did you buy that blue tip on your refill can or did it already come with it?

Thank you. It's very usefull when emergency

Awesome video! But can I ask why you need the paper clip? The button does that anyway?

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

much needed in cuarentena times! gracias bruh!

nice video man you are the real deal no bullshit straigh to the point

Thanks mate it worked 1st time for me. 👍👍👍👍👍

Is it a must to do the anti clockwise turning part? Can we jump straight to the paper clip part?

Will it work on "crocs" mini torch lighters?

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?

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.

i think i need those red adaptors you pulled off the top of your can to fill mine the right way

I wonder if this would work with the original old Bic lighters from the 70s with the metal flame adjuster wheel.

Can I use lighter fulid (like to one you use for grilling)

how do you take the metal cover off. mine won't budge?

I remember the good ole 80's when I used to do this and other dangerous things in single digit age lol. I'm going to get a pen and use the ink tube to use these cheap 3 for a dollar lighters to refill my refillable lighters. *Butane quality is unreliable and worst of all, those same "reputable" brands are also expensive.*

You dont really need a paperclip, it worked for me just by pressing the valve

Wow thanks 😂 I finally did it

This is pretty cool, but how would you replace the ferocerium? As long as that can't be replaced effectively the lighter is still gonna break, likely before you run out of the refilled gas.

Doesn't seem to work for mine as far as i can see the difference is the color, tried the paper clip with covering over as well nothing, i've got some more laying around cause i wanna see if it can be done, but on the different side i just made a vape pen into a solder gun

Hey I appreciate you bro

He has exactly the same lighter spot on lol

does this work with djeep lighters too?

This managed to get me enough to get it to light my last cigarette.

The next would be how to insert aluminum foil to the lighter nozzle. Haha

Great hack, Cheers!

Can you do this with the other disposable lighthers as well?

You actually turned it counter clockwise.

I have the exact same yellow bic lighter as u. The flame adjuster u r using in this i have the same excep its green

works, amazing! thank you :)

It works 😂 Im literally filling up all my empty lighters ahaha

What about that "Flint"? How do you replace it? This would be very helpful, because your Butane is ok. But not hardly any flint left. Thanks! Courious minds want to know!

Could you do this with a djeep lighter please I need hep refilling mine

Thanks bro shit works!!!

How much gas averagely should be wasted in the process?

Im so high i was trying to refill it and noticed that i just had the flame on low💀💀💀

What is the yellow canister called? I want to buy the same one just in case

good bhai...👍👍👍

Which fuel is used to rifill

Sat here smoking a joint, my dogshit lighters dying but I got a can of clipper gas, searched this video and viola, sorted, didn't have to move

thanks man

Can u use ronsonol

He literally has the same lighter as me

Would butane work?

There are like 10 for a pound all over the UK or just buy a clipper as it is easier to replace the flint.

one more tthing though, how can I make sure it don't blow up??!

There's a reason I only buy refillable lighters

OMG! Are you fukin kidding me? All this time and all i had to do is watch your video? You are so fukin awesome for this! Great video btw...perfect

we have the exact name, first and last and from one Adrian Lopez to the other thank you lol

Nice

Won’t the flint run out at some point?

Guess what i did not turn it back to ordinary size and it became a flamethrower......................wow

Any reason you use the paper clip instead of just pressing the button?

Thanks

Great video - add voice

Wouldn't it be the same thing if you just pushed the button instead of using the paper clip?

Hi, I am looking for a tutorial to make a adapter to fill a lighter with a gas piercing cartridge. Would you be upo for it?

I don’t have butane gas ?

so counter clockwise is to loosen or to tighten the valve??

You have your clockwise and counter clockwise mixed up, the first time was clockwise and the second time was counter clockwise

Hi, can i refill a cricket lighter, i cant find anything about them. Cause i like its small size and i want to use them :)

Eso funciona asta que dure la piedra. that works how long the stone lasts. Gracias 😊 thank!!

Is this butane?

Brilliant

My g

to be honest, this video is good, but I would just buy a new one.

Why would you use the paper clip as a lever instead of just using the gas button..?

thx

Or pour lighter fluid on a empty lighter let the outside catch on fire and spark up

Price of LPG can ???

What was the point of the paperclip? That's what the buttons for

Wicked

you said turn the flame adjuster clockwise twice, at the beginning and at the end ,wrong first you turn it counter before refilling then clockwise back to position of choice
