    He dropped the rubber spacer on the bottom of the piezo igniter.. very important when it clicks the same time the flame comes out ...timing ...some need the extra space and some don't try and replace it with the same piezo igniter. If it's real difficult to light still ground the body to that piece on the bottom and make a circuit. Another trick I learned sometimes there's a cut in the insulation and it's shorting out the spark is below where it's supposed to come out I use super glue as paint it insulates then the spark comes out where it's supposed to. And when cutting it I use nail clippers and cut it flush to the top of the ceramic piece and then just bend it over don't remove the insulation it's already cut there

    Thank you for the video but it would be nice if you kept in the tricky bits. Attaching the wire to the ignition was nicely missed 😉 I am not having a go Honestly but you might re-edit your vid and put that in as it can be one of the biggest pains. Stay safe and healthy much love to you.

    Mine is a metal jet lighter with a hinged lid. It's also supposed to light up a picture in the front when the lid is opened, it uses 3 little watch type batteries for that. The lid has to come off before I can take the top of the lighter off to get to the igniter and the lid is held on by real small metal pins that I'm going to have to drive out. I have a feeling this one is going to be a pain. I just hope I can find a cheap lighter with the igniter that will work.

    This is why I use the new Zippo that uses flint and butane, I just don't get how to repair the clicker in the torches. I'm not saying what is better since this fix will probably last which is also efficient, but comparing the whole video length to my flint lighter it takes me about 1 min to replace flint even though I have to do it more regularly. Their actually are some torches that work off flint believe it or not, but Zippo does not.

    • @spicydiarrhea5662
      @spicydiarrhea5662 2 роки тому +2

      I'm using the zippo with piezo mechanism. The clicker is quite eternal so I don't worry about that, BUT when something goes wrong I'll just learn how to replace the clicker or buy new "filling" to the case.
      No more fuel loses and constant adding of the liquid, the flame is wind proof, hotter and more efficient, lighter is for once a reliable tool in time of need. 8/10 would recommend

      But yeah you are right about it being somewhat windproof, also you can hold it down a little bit better since it doesn't travel upwards.

      Buy a cheap vintage lighter from the usa or Japan and you can have a piezoelectric igniter made to last forever and swap it into any torch or lighter you want. Personally I buy vintage lighters and repair them. They are like gold vs foil. I haven’t used a plastic lighter in years. Except for breaking them open for the gaskets to use in my repairs. Lol

      Not necessarily (but usually lmao) These lighters hold up insanely better in wind than any other lighter I've used and there's no bad taste from them either, that's why I use them. Well, that and the fact that they're more common than bics or zippos in the area that I'm in right now. Only started using a torch because after getting here I couldn't find zippo fluid (or even the zippo butane insert) to save my life! The .99 lighters around here are refillable torches, so had to get one. Tried to go back to my zippo when fluid for it finally arrived, but it tastes nasty to me after having used these. Sure wish they weren't so gd damn unreliable though lol
