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.
Same here. I did everything he did except I didnt need the paper clip. I just turned the wheel a bit and used the original thumb press pad thing to hold the valve open. Worked great and now all my lighters are filled again.
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.
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).
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.👍👍
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
You might find Flints on online stores, for electric lighters they usually have a valve in the bottom so refilling is just as easy as following instructions on the can
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.*
dear Adrian Lopez, Greetings from New Mexico! Thanks for this video on refilliing the disposable lighter. Very professionally done. Please make more videos. pierre
Maybe after collecting those old lighters, and now armed with the knowledge of refilling and replacing flints, you could consider ‘overhauling’ those lighters, do a little cleaning, then sell them back like new. Kinda like recycling.
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
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.
@@m.i-ansari You can you have to take everything apart and refill from the flame valve. Theres a video. Its in another country. Then he puts it back together.
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
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!
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
+Meal Worm Gamer You can also use LPG canister for gas camping stove(7/16ths UNEF threaded canisters type). But you will need an adapter made for filling lighther with that kind of cartridge. It is not pure butane but a mix of butane/isobutane/propane.
The Paper Airplane King everybody always laughs about my lighter hoarding Questioning the amount of empty lighters I have I told em one day i will have use for them. ..they always say i can't refill them. ..i knew i could. ..just never actually googled it until today LMAO! Jokes on them!
I don't see the need for the paper clip. Why not just push the lever you hold down when you use the lighter normally? That is what lifts the valve up to let the gas out. From what I saw in your video there is enough room for your finger to hold the lever.
samysam1313 The Plastic lift that releases the gas will Flex as you press down. The Paperclip eliminates Holding down the plastic lift valve. He did it the right way.
these are literally the cheapest lighters you can buy though, 3 for a dollar where I live, thats like 33c, hardly worth risking butane exploding in your face
well to be faster u can actually craft ur own tool.fork handle as a lever and a metal pen as an unscrewer.however u need to master the skill of "reflinting"because it is required in the procces.
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.

Why not just press the lever to open the valve, then refill?
If you take the spark wheel out how do you put the flint back in
Thanks for instruction. If I knew it in past I could save a lot of lighters. Better late than never. Thanks again.
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
you watch JLaserVideo?
I knew that was the only way possible because I didn't have any refillable. Blessed thanks
Best vid i seen how to refill a cheap lighter worked like a charm
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
Wouldn't it be the same thing if you just pushed the button instead of using the paper clip?
The button is flexible and when I press the can down the valve closes

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
True its sometimes hard specially with regular size clips
What is the yellow canister called? I want to buy the same one just in case
The Paper Airplane King So it is NOT butane then?

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

Not anymore your not 😭 #2020
This was the best refill video. Simple and easy. These Ultimas are the shit too.
Can you do this with the other disposable lighthers as well?
Is it a must to do the anti clockwise turning part? Can we jump straight to the paper clip part?

I wonder if this would work with the original old Bic lighters from the 70s with the metal flame adjuster wheel.
How much gas averagely should be wasted in the process?

Did you buy that blue tip on your refill can or did it already come with it?
Will it work on "crocs" mini torch lighters?
+Adrian Lopez if you press down on the button when inserting gas will it still work
Dude you’re a life saver thx 💯
thanks i found an even better version of this method using the paper clip
U saved my live bro! Subscribed!
You dont really need a paperclip, it worked for me just by pressing the valve
yayy
I thought i shouldnt make difference.. Now i can refill my colt
Thank you 🙏🏼 I got a macho Randy Savage lighter but you can’t refill but now I can after this video 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Wow thanks 😂 I finally did it
Can we fill up from bottom where valve is there?
if your lighter has valve yes, you should use that. no point using my trick if ur lighter is refillable

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
What was the point of the paperclip? That's what the buttons for
how do you take the metal cover off. mine won't budge?
so counter clockwise is to loosen or to tighten the valve??
***** thanks because i will refill a 1$ pocket torch
***** thx.
I don’t have butane gas ?
How do I fill it without refill can?
+Adrian Lopez (Innovations) your trolling right? :-)
I think adrial knows that. The question probably is similar to mine.
Yeah I thought so ;-;
Can I use lighter fulid (like to one you use for grilling)
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

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?
hehe, noooo. I mean a camping butan gas cartridge :-)
+Adrian Lopez (Innovations) like this
+Adrian Lopez (Innovations) a can of butane does not penetrate the bottom of a disposable lighter
This managed to get me enough to get it to light my last cigarette.
Any reason you use the paper clip instead of just pressing the button?
It's harder to hold the button down because of how long you need to do it.
It's because the black plastic part which lifts the nozzle is fragile, so when you press on the nozzle it bends decreasing gas flow.
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!
Won’t the flint run out at some point?
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 :)
+Adrian Lopez (Innovations) Thanks, you really helpd me out
Is this butane?
worked like a charm, used a sewing needle instead of paperclip
Now can you use that to transfer the butane into another lighter as well?!
@@kassik588 Damn. I don't know?? I mean if you can pull it off you can just buy another lighter atp
@@kassik588 nah, refillable butane lighters are the way to go
Interesting, wonder why you can't press the button to open the valve. I guess I'll find out when I do this.
So what happened
This video sure help me tonight, thank you
Would butane work?
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
one more tthing though, how can I make sure it don't blow up??!
The next would be how to insert aluminum foil to the lighter nozzle. Haha
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
Why would you use the paper clip as a lever instead of just using the gas button..?
My thought exactly
@@cloz650 It's because the black plastic part which lifts the nozzle is fragile, so when you press on the nozzle it bends decreasing gas flow.

Sameee
does this work with djeep lighters too?
Will lighter fluid work
It must be gas
I did everything but lighter doesn't work yet, What Can I do?
Im so high i was trying to refill it and noticed that i just had the flame on low💀💀💀
Can you help me when I try to fill it does not play fill it and it fills up from the other side of the lighter
Really helpful, thanks!
nice video man you are the real deal no bullshit straigh to the point
There are like 10 for a pound all over the UK or just buy a clipper as it is easier to replace the flint.
Clippers have the smallest flame possible. Only adjustable ones are good.
i think i need those red adaptors you pulled off the top of your can to fill mine the right way
Price of LPG can ???
Does butane gas works on lighters?
THE PAPER AIRPLANE KING your name sound like one of saitama enemies.so not all portable gas works.
THE PAPER AIRPLANE KING he he he classic saitama emote ;) anyway tnx ima buy the lighter one
You have your clockwise and counter clockwise mixed up, the first time was clockwise and the second time was counter clockwise
are you sure about that
Guess what i did not turn it back to ordinary size and it became a flamethrower......................wow
Yep I know
+Lorrax Gaming Yeah I've seen people burn off eyebrows because someone jacked up the flame as a prank. It's extremely funny but also not really.

Will it explode I’m scared for my life genuinely
Or pour lighter fluid on a empty lighter let the outside catch on fire and spark up
You actually turned it counter clockwise.

+Meal Worm Gamer You can also use LPG canister for gas camping stove(7/16ths UNEF threaded canisters type). But you will need an adapter made for filling lighther with that kind of cartridge. It is not pure butane but a mix of butane/isobutane/propane.

You just need to turn it clockwise until flame is normal size
