Just buy a crickit lighter.

Do you ever have a probem with gas leaking between the valve and the lighter? Do you keep the rubber seal on the valve when you insert it in the lighter?

you could have at least sourced them from cheap refillable lighters instead of a 10 dollar cordless soldering iron lol.

Man there is almost 0 info on setting Kea up from scratch for V4 and v6

This is pretty neat, but its very unlikely that the flint is going to last more than 1 refill. After depleting the stock gas on a bic lighter there is only 1-2mm left of flint (new flint is 5+mm) and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an easy way to replace the flint without breaking the top mechanism. Personally I strip the flints from the bic lighters for use in zippos.

Just use common sense......

Your a legend, great utility. Save me an hour of doing it manually

If you google parts for refillable lighters it'll take you to Amazon

Caliper. Micrometer is a whole different tool.

Thank you. It is very helpful.

Hi 👋

Thank you for video and utility. I have managed to use your tool and added my reservations to kea using cmd prompt.

And you don’t have to make the nozzle flush with the bottom of the lighter if you go to the truck Stop and buy those lighter on a leash things. The Bic slides down into a rubber mold that’s about 1/4 length snug so you won’t see the bottom of the Bic. And you fasten the other end of the leash to your pocket or belt and you can let it go when you using it and it snaps back to your belt like a key-back. I just snapped at some dude who called you boring. Look your comments. Old people save lighter in Later dude!!

Hey bro! I buy my nozzles from eBay. I used to be able to buy just the nozzle but like you said you cant find them anymore. So I buy lighter parts. I buy them sometimes 25 at a time. I m a lighter and flashlight freak! I smoke cigars so I have a torch lighter in every room in the house and they sometimes break down and sometimes I take them apart and can’t get them back together so I’ll take the nozzle out of it and make another forever Bic. I have so many lighters that they WILL last as long as I live! Lol

Thanks for the utility, made the migration simple.

Thanks for the tool and video. On first install Kea seemed to use "Auto collect option data" which seemed to dish out my router IP as DNS. When I disabled this options and pushed out the correct DNS servers and domain name / domain name searches, despite having restarted the service and disabling ISC it was still dishing out the router and no domain name (tested on iphone and windows). I had to reboot OpnSense firewall to get it to all come up correctly. Anyway - awesome migration tool - thanks

Thank you very much for the tool. You made my day

Works!

Or, you could simply buy a Clipper lighter. Less expensive and superior in every way to a Bic!

How Many Refills can you get outta a bic before it runs out of spark?

This is the best of all the videos on YT on this subject.

fenty heads....

Chances are if u are trying to make ur bic refillable u probably have a few fucked up refillable torches n such u can extract a valve from one of those instead of buying one...

Try a Google search for "butane lighter replacement refill valves" you'll find all the listings you ever want

This is like trying to save a 1985 Buick Century

It is called a wood drill as the names suggest its for drilling into wood

You filled the llighter at the end and i could hear it leaking 😂 but ut does wirk just some super glue or something to keep it from leaking good video

The first drill bit is called a “bradpoint”.

But why? Just buy a refillable lighter.

Why not just buy a refillable lighter?

why can't you just drain a lighter by pushing the button down instead of the pin thing from the bottom?

had the same idea using a push down one way fill valve from a broken lighter , the valves on bics where the flame shoots out are of course push up valves with the lever/button

I'm going to do this to my Texas Flag bic lighter when it runs out, and it's almost there now. I've had that lighter for years. Thanks for the info!

TY For the info!

Thank you thank you thank you! You deserve thanks for skipping past the tedious stuff that so many other KZfaq how-to videos needlessly contain, largely because of either ignorance or laziness on the part of the individual who made it. It's so refreshing to see someone who _can_ be bothered to learn the most basic of video editing skills, and I don't mind anyone taking a little bit of pride in doing so. On that note, I even enjoyed your making it clear that you are specifically, intentionally putting the tiny required bit of work in, to avoid wasting my time (and, I presume, to also take advantage of a knock-on bonus effect, and avoid leaving viewers with the impression that you're just another inconsiderate DIY doofus, like so many others on YT). Hell, that doesn't even address that you're displaying what I think is absolutely the best solution for re-using Bic lighters; thank you for sharing!

There must be a way to refill from the top jet. Without doing any of this. Maybe its making an adapter for the refill canister that has a rubber o-ring. Then push it down onto the gas jet whilst holding down the 'go' button till full. I'm going to go try.

buy a torch lighter in any corner store for a few bucks and get valve. good video tho ty.

That's an interesting idea. Have you tried adding more coils? I think it would help a lot to have a finer "resolution" in the rotation. It also looks like each coil is simply being powered on/off when it may give a smoother transition to have each coil ramp up and down with a sort of sinusoidal duty cycle pulse width modulation. That way it won't be as jerky and kick itself off, like handing someone something you want to make sure they have it before you fully let go. So only at the peak of the next coil in the rotation does the previous coil turn all the way off. Or something like that, those are just my initial thoughts anyway

Nice idea. But it's impossible to find any retailer that will sell such valves at a reasonable price.

Bill Hicks had a 2 lighter a day habit.

Probably already said, but that is a caliper, not micrometer, good Sir.

Never hold what you’re drilling…ever. I’ve seen a bit go right into a hand, while still rotating. Happens so fast.

but dont show anyone your big now, or they will try to steal it even more ;)

A bit more extensive or difficult than your normal DYI project. But probably a bit more comprehensible to your everyday, hardcore tweakers. But I bet you a hundred bucks that the everyday tweaker doesn't finish this in one sitting, as they have 44 other things ("projects") going on at the same time. 😆

3d printing nozzle.... 😁👍.. Problem solved... 😳

Hey, I would like to reproduce this for a chemist friend. I'm using a step motor driver DRV8825 to drive 4 coils (I found "levitation coils" on amazon that I think are suitable for this). But I can't make the magnetic spin. I don't know if it's a issue about magnetic field strength or driving issues. What current intensity do you drive the coil with ? What kind of coil do you use ? If you can share any project file with me that would be a great help. Thx !

Good job, thanks for the demo!

you can usually buy cheap refillabke lighters and take the stems out when they die🤷‍♂️

Unreal the amount of negative comments on this video. The video was very well done. Thank you

OR.. you just buy a refillable BIC. They exist.
