Yup, the wick is the only part that's tricky, i suggest you do a video on how it's done and add a link to that video. Cause that's what ppl come for :)
Brilliant tutorial. I recieved a peanut lighter the same as yours today without any instructions at all. People just presume that everyone is a smoker so know what to do with the thing to fill it etc. With this video I now know how to fill it but also whats inside etc. I just need to go find one for the other light I got.
Ok here's what i did to get the wick through: pull the middle white part out, an inch or so and cut it off. This will make the circumference manageable. THEN tie a regular sewing thread to the very end of the outer shell, as tight as you can get. Make sure the sewing thread is a strong one. After this you may need to trim the end a little bit, possibly at an angle (mileage varies) :) And then gently but firmly pull it through... I inserted from the top and i disassembled the metal silinder altogether, so i had better access from the bottom side. Pulled it through with tweezers as soon as a millimeter or 2 of the copper thread was showing.
Actually as i was pulling on the sewing thread, i also used a blunt drill bit tool at the same time to help it (the end of the wick) along from the top, i would say a large paperclip should work just as well for this purpose.
I had already sussed this out, but its nice to know my thinking was right, the dolphin lighter I bought had Chinese instructions and were tiny, so they were little help, but due to the fact I have watched a lot of youtube videos on lighters, I was able to get it going easily.
just the information I was looking for - thank you buddy :) p.s. 'twisting' the wick in from the top worked best for me - still a little tricky (ty again from UK)
Lol.. guess I should have watched this BEFORE I poured the fluid into the screw hole and watched it pour all over the floor out the top! Thx fo the video....
I love the parcel hook. Some people just have no imagination. :D Good point about the cork screw too. Those things do have some interesting alternate applications.
Yes but when it gets short you can pull up more from inside. It's a slow process, it would probably take nears of normal use to consume it. Also it's replaceable.
I have a friend that owns a small general store. They stock butane liquid refills. Can I use that. I bought a peanut lighter a few years ago and it dried up a few days later. I have never refilled it, but I think it would still come in handy for something like camping.
@zxKrookedxz I think the stainless steel ones from Countycomm go for about $12 + Shipping these days. The alloy one shown in this video, like I sell on my eBay page go for about $7 shipped.
Crap, sorry about the premature post...creating somewhat of a point, push through the wick hole (from the outside) reach up inside the case and grab the tip of the wick with a pair of long tipped needle nose pliers...

Great vid, you saved me from buying another lighter, mine wouldn't spark, realized the flint screw came off, simple fix. Nice Job !!!!!
Dude, the wick replacement is what a lot of people look for! Pity
sew it through with a normal thread and than drag it through the hole
Yup, totally the ONLY reason I watched the video. Bummer!
Seriously, if you don't know how to push a wick through a hole, you have failed at the most basic things in life. I'd nominate you for darwin award.

A trick to get the wick threaded through is to cut the end at an angle creating a
That sounds like a good idea, thanks.

I would Recommend taking a needle and sticking it down through the top, then taping the wick to it (Like snaking a wire).
Attach a bit thread to the wick then feed the thread through the hole then pull it
Everyone wants to know how to replace the wick. I have several of these lighters and smaller and I have yet to find a better way to do that.
Thanks lazy lizard dude. Now I know how to refill my lighter and put in new Flint. 😊
Just the information I needed, got one of these today as a gift.

The pulling through is not the problem. the problem is getting a new wick into the hole.
Useful info, thanks for making/sharing this video.
I have a friend that owns a small general store. They stock butane liquid refills. Can I use that. I bought a peanut lighter a few years ago and it dried up a few days later. I have never refilled it, but I think it would still come in handy for something like camping.
Tengaryu These don't use butane, they use the kind of fuel that contains naphtha. Butane is a gas, these lighters need a flammable liquid.
Ok gotcha. Thanks.
Could you use Ethanol? Denatured alcohol?
@@Lazylizardgear I have used butane in mine and it works fine.
It's a washer/spacer to keep you from tearing up the spring if you run out of Flint
Just the info I needed. Thanks 😃👍
@classiclmaohumor Zippo size flints work in these.
Cool I have this and was wondering how to set it up.

Is it worth 25 with shipping included for this thing online?
Thank you!
Thanks!

THE ONE RING!
Jessica Sears Yup...wait...how can you see me? Are you a Ringwraith?
I don't think it likes me, it won't alter size to fit on the right finger.
@ckjunior78 -- 100% agreed!
Super-Tinker
I'm sure Kerosene would work if you needed to :)
Using a swiss army knife is like using a screwdriver for every task, just crap imo.
Too much work to light up a raw cone
I lost mine in a raccoons ass 😒
