I've been complaining to people for years that the butane canisters never work. Never once has anyone said you need to release pressure and sure enough it works!! Thank you for posting this. Imagine how many people feel really stupid after getting it to work after all these years LOL!!
This reminds me of when I was a first time home owner, got a bottle of caulking. I cut the tip off and nothing came out when I squeezed the bottle. Okay so I got a caulking gun.....still nothing came out. I never punctured the seal LMAO
Bruh the way I grabbed my dried up torch that’s been marinating in my closet without fuel for months, released the pressure like you did and it works fine af 🔥 the way I never knew you had to take out pressure could’ve saved me from buying all the other ones that came after
Thank you man very very helpful I was Soo confused but once I found out I had to release the pressure it worked!!!! Thanks again mate I wish you the best
Thank you for posting this video. It got so annoying having to stop in the middle of a good meth smoke session to go by another lighter. Now I can tweak all night uninterpreted much love!
@@rhuckabee44 I thought it all came out of the top part, the end it lights from. I told 3 of my friends and they said the same thing. "Wow I didn't know that. no wonder it never refilled".
@@RandomCowboy420 It can’t release itself. Try adding water to a birthday balloon and see if you can fill it up with 100% water. Air doesn’t disappear or we’d be dead. More butane gas and less O2 gas.
I don't understand why I always have trouble. I always bleed all the excess before filling it, when I fill it the fluid spurts everywhere and I'll get like 2-3 lights off it then it's empty again... what am I doing to get air in there!?
I fixed the problem. I wasn’t applying enough downward pressure. I really had to put it in there it naturally feels wrong but it gets the job done. You stop when actual fluid starts to spurt out
Press slow. Also use a bleeder if possible. It purges from the 2 ways air is released instead of 1 that you have closed off with a pinpoint to release. That hole and under it both release pressure. Works a lot better!
I let the air out and then put the butane upside down and cover the fill hole, yet it always sprays all over me and I can't ever fill it. I always make sure to let the air out first, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there a good torch that you would recommend? Thank you in advance 😊
Not bad just be careful not to damage the valve and get an empty ballpoint pen ink plastic clean of anything and that will protect and properly bleed both ends or get a real bleeder tool. Worth it!
The problem is that the refill butane is not properly seating on the lighter valve. Look for refill butane that has a half-dozen plastic tips molded into the butane cylinder’s plastic cap. Select one that fits snugly over the lighter valve. Press the cylinder onto the plastic tip firmly and hold it there until a spurt of butane shows the lighter is filled.
Does it have to be completely empty to release the gas and refill it? I wanted to top off a half full blink torch but I don't wanna go releasing the butane accidentally instead.
It does not need to be empty. Hold the torch vertically and, of course, upside-down. Press the torch valve. It won’t hurt anything if a little butane squirts out - that shows you have released all the air.
Not exactly true. You can and will break your refill valve. Air pressure forces everything out breaking it permanently. Not all but cheap ones will. And yes why would you save a second to get less butane in?
How are you supposed to know if it's full if you can't see inside the tank?? I camp next week & don't want to buy a new torch I really like my handheld for starting tinder.
So for anyone having problems. I have a possible solution. I was opening the butane valve to fill it. Then closing it when it was filled. Wasn’t working my brother in law who’s clearly more savvy than me figured out you need to leave the valve open. Hopefully this solves some problems for somebody
How about wen ur smoking and u only getb1 or 2 solid lights and then it acts as if it's dead a buddy showed me last summer how-to purge and he didn't do it anything like u did in this video and seemed way more effective he pressed the valve in but wen the air finished draining he flipped it holding the valve in and it continued to drain again hebdid that likeb3 or 4x but I still can't get mine to come out of limp mode or whatever it's prob is
Yeah, why yawl saying don't use that brand??!!? Should know that's the can I just used because my roommate bought it. Probably the cheapest for sure since he picked it up 😅 Seriously, I noticed it seemed to get cold very fast. Is there something about the fuel itself that's more dangerous if accidentally inhaled?
Cause it's super cheap fuel which will clog your lighters. You need to get triple filtered butane or higher even. You can almost always get a lighter to work with good butane like vector.
I never knew u had to bleed it do u know how many butane lighters I've thrown away not knowing it was something that damn simple I feel so damn stupid 💔
If I still have butane in my torch and I just want to top it up will doing this waste what I still have in it? Like should I only do this when my torch is properly empty?
Only top off if absolutely necessary and purge some air slowly then add more butane if you know your torch can handle it. Otherwise never do this because it will break it! If anything keep a cartridge with you so you can fill 18ml when its out. They are $2 unless you fill it yourself.
... Actually if the air pressure is out, you shouldnt need to "go untill it stops. Mines clear... without the air pressure i finally leaked out... It filled in like 3 seconds.
See that method looks a bit complicated... I never refilled a lighter b4 and I don't think I will... unless it's a easier way... I have the items, but I ain't tryna blow my Damn self up... SEEMS,THIS IS MORE FOR THE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE .. forgot my dad always have a refillable lighter, so ill ask him... thanks for the video tho... it covered the safety methods..
Damn I never knew that my first time trying to re fill I ask the store worker how to refill all he said just poke it in and push so I did that and the whole gas leak on me no wonder
I refilled both my torch and lighter.. The torch was working after the refill. But the lighter did not work even though I refilled it. Does anyone know why this would be, why the lighter will not work?
What’s not shown here is that some butane canisters are sold with a metal stem that will not seal to the torch fill valve. These canisters have a half-dozen tips molded into the cap so the user can select the tip that fits the torch valve. Also, a very small straight-blade screwdriver is easier to use to depress the torch fill valve to release any residual pressure before refilling. Just make sure the blade doesn’t block the valve orifice.
Well go on and make it then. Since you're so clever and can do so much better. Also, differentiating between seconds and minutes is theoretically very simple too, yet you seem to have had difficulty.
I've been complaining to people for years that the butane canisters never work. Never once has anyone said you need to release pressure and sure enough it works!! Thank you for posting this. Imagine how many people feel really stupid after getting it to work after all these years LOL!!

So you don't need to release pressure?

Thank you so much! that is the 1st time that it ever worked for me. I never knew to let the old air out.
Glad I could help. You very welcome
Where did you think then air would go so the gas could fit?
@@rhuckabee44 I thought it all came out of the top part, the end it lights from. I told 3 of my friends and they said the same thing. "Wow I didn't know that. no wonder it never refilled".
Its empty so it must not have anything left in it. Wrong! Wow
@@RandomCowboy420 It can’t release itself. Try adding water to a birthday balloon and see if you can fill it up with 100% water. Air doesn’t disappear or we’d be dead. More butane gas and less O2 gas.
So it wasn’t just me that didn’t know to release the pressure… I don’t feel so bad anymore 😅
I've had real success with putting it in the freezer for a while and then refilling it before it has a chance to warm up
Literally the only video it seems like on RUclips that helped me with my problem 🤦🏻♀️ thank you so much!!!
I don't understand why I always have trouble. I always bleed all the excess before filling it, when I fill it the fluid spurts everywhere and I'll get like 2-3 lights off it then it's empty again... what am I doing to get air in there!?
Ik having the same trouble please tell me if you fixed your problem
Same also going back to propane
Make sure you align the tips so the fluid can flow unobstructed
I fixed the problem. I wasn’t applying enough downward pressure. I really had to put it in there it naturally feels wrong but it gets the job done. You stop when actual fluid starts to spurt out
@@shortyclarkchc19 ^^
Thank you so much. Been wondering why only a little went in. Release the pressure!!!!💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏽
Glad I could help
Do me a HOT RAIL 🔥🔥 AND GET"UP THERE"
I wish I knew about letting the air out first about 20 years ago, lol thank you young man. I thought when I got older Wisdom would occur lol
Better late than never !!
I said the same thing😆 Thank you for showing me this,,,,,I've got 5 torch lighters now lol
@@kaitlinpowell4126 5..!!! You are rich..😂, glad I could help
Hell yea I use to make a mess of this shit 🤣like what am I doing wrong 🤦🏿♂️ I brought a few more lighters after this vid lol
Thank you! The company provided the worst instructional video for refilling and THIS is how they should've done theirs.
idk mines are still spraying everywhere with very little making it into the lighters I've tried jamming it in harder and same results
It worked for me! I was able to refill my torch after I let out that resisting pressure!
Glad I could help
Same, I had that problem too, it freaked me out when the air and a little butane came out though 🥲
@@jessicamerced9116 yes it’s a bit of a surprise coz you don’t expect it, glad I could help
Press slow. Also use a bleeder if possible. It purges from the 2 ways air is released instead of 1 that you have closed off with a pinpoint to release. That hole and under it both release pressure. Works a lot better!
I have hell of a time with every torch I’ve had. Really messes up dab

Try using the different tip attachments that are inside the cap of the butane
Why do you shake the torch after you fill it aren’t you supposed to do that when you empty it of air?
Thats terrible u know how many mini torches i have ran thru because it kept squirting back at me when i tried to refill smh . Thank u
Haha, well at least that won’t happen again. Am glad I could help, you’re welcome
This was so helpful tysm (though I probably shouldn’t have used a fork to release the pressure)
Not bad just be careful not to damage the valve and get an empty ballpoint pen ink plastic clean of anything and that will protect and properly bleed both ends or get a real bleeder tool. Worth it!
Can you fill it with a little fluid left in it
Appreciate it I was able to take a dab cause of u!
I did this and my refill butane just keeps spewing the butane from the insert point in lighter, what do I do
The problem is that the refill butane is not properly seating on the lighter valve. Look for refill butane that has a half-dozen plastic tips molded into the butane cylinder’s plastic cap. Select one that fits snugly over the lighter valve. Press the cylinder onto the plastic tip firmly and hold it there until a spurt of butane shows the lighter is filled.
I filled up the tourch with fluid and no flame what am I doing wrong?
THank you so much bro this was the most helpful video ever
You are most welcome, glad I could help
Does it have to be completely empty to release the gas and refill it? I wanted to top off a half full blink torch but I don't wanna go releasing the butane accidentally instead.

Thank you very much for the info👍🏻 mine didn’t come with instructions did t want to blow myself up 😂
Do I push the rubber seal or the brass refill spout thing?
The brass
@@jaredwhite6069 thank you, I figured it out by finally just going for it. The brass monkey yo, beastie!
I always thought that was a screw at the bottom,iktr chocolate brotha
😂😂.. a screw!!…. Well good thing is now you know . Glad I could help
How are you supposed to know if it's full if you can't see inside the tank?? I camp next week & don't want to buy a new torch I really like my handheld for starting tinder.
2 seconds then release, 3 times. It will be full. Otherwise bring butane or another torch. Or weigh it.
Thank you soooo much.
When you let the air out, are you also letting the butane out?
A small amount yeah gonna smell like it but it's air that's been mixed heavily
Thank you I’ve been wanting to refill my techno torch it’s my favorite
You’re most welcome, glad I could help

Use better butane
@@NikkiLee23BBy I use whip it and now neon witch is purified 11x so wats any better lol and I order mine by the case it's cheaper that way for me
Think it was just the lighter I was using I was having issues with

thanks!
For people who don't have super vision dont bother watching
Never use Ronson On torches!

Preciate the video
Aye I was like #1k
Well today I learned mine wouldn't refill because I didn't vent excess pressure.
Thanks was very helpful, thank you.
I'm having the same problem I'm trying to add the zippo propane to my torch lighter and it's spilling everywhere and mind you it's very cold. Lol
I never knew u had to bleed it do u know how many butane lighters I've thrown away not knowing it was something that damn simple I feel so damn stupid 💔
I refilled my but now it wont turn on lol what did i do wrong?
Is it safe keep one of these in my room cool temperature. ?
If I still have butane in my torch and I just want to top it up will doing this waste what I still have in it? Like should I only do this when my torch is properly empty?
Only top off if absolutely necessary and purge some air slowly then add more butane if you know your torch can handle it. Otherwise never do this because it will break it! If anything keep a cartridge with you so you can fill 18ml when its out. They are $2 unless you fill it yourself.
Excelente!! Gracias!!

I’ve refilled small lighters before and you do the same with those it’s not to different
It might look intimidating but its very simple actually, Just take all the precautionary measures and you should be okay
Unless it’s a huge torch in a tiny room you’ll be fine. Just don’t be stupid.
Damn I never knew that my first time trying to re fill I ask the store worker how to refill all he said just poke it in and push so I did that and the whole gas leak on me no wonder

You need lighter fluid for a lighter bro🤣🤣🤣
Butane lighter? You have to wait a few minutes for it to warm and stabilize. If not you didn’t actually fill it.
Thank you very useful
Thank you
I filled up mine with the zippo lighter fluid is that why?
Nope. Its all the same right? Oil in my gas tank…
Thx bro
Any time
thanks for showwing me how... yo i have that same blue lighter.
You are most welcome bro… that’s what’s up
Thanks my guy, that was super helpful!!!
Ahh thanks I forgot to empty the airrr

Those tips are low quality and you rip off. Newport butane has quality ones free. Exactly about bleeding. That tiny hole releases pressure too.
man the bigger metal tip sucks that’s what i got
@@bloqq5956 i think i got that one too and it sucks. I have to find an adapter piece for it
Can you still refill the torch without emptying pressure?
No you cant
Too much resistance
Appreciate the video 📹 💯
You bet
Thank you for the information. It helped. Removing the air is the key.
Where u get the gas to buy
Walmart, Home Depot, lowes, etc. I bought mine for about 5$
Marine taught Bible over 60 years Shepherdchapel on YT explains whole bible God bless.
Thanks it worked like a champ!
You’re most welcome
What are you pushing? I can't see. WTF
The volume is too low
Why not just wait until it's actually empty?Seems like a waste to release what's in there already just to refill.
Sometimes it’s to little gas or just built up pressure
Because the flame dwindles hence needs refiling
Seriously? Are you happy with a drink half filled? Take out the wasted ice (air)! And fill the whole thing. Otherwise what is the purpose?
Make sure it’s well ventilated this shit is toxic!!! Lmao
This should be a 60 minute video - no longer - the process is very simple
Well go on and make it then. Since you're so clever and can do so much better. Also, differentiating between seconds and minutes is theoretically very simple too, yet you seem to have had difficulty.
I don't think it requires an hour of explanation
