Torch quit working on again didn't it.Well I'm sittin here I've got six of those cheapie Blazer type knockoffs.Seems about once a month one of em goes tits up,sometimes it's just an adjustment of the screw in the bottom.



Sometimes they are spewin a funky flame beacause of buildup inside the torch chamber and you'll usually just toss the fuggers in a drawer or out the truck window when you really want a cigar and the damn thing quits working at a critical moment.



Well I'm sittin here with three of em now not working properly and I look over at the can of butane,
Hmmmmmmm?



Here's the fix.Simply try to light the thing if there a flame blow it out,insert the can of butane upside down into the ceter of the torch chamber(little circle that the flame comes out of)and give it 4 or 5 good blasts of Butane.Presto all three are working beautifully!



Safety tip: Let the lighter and your hands thuroughly dry off(about ten minutes)before you try and light the damn thing OK! Like I said all three are woking beautifully,as I sit here thinking,Ya know?hair on the back of your knuckles and hands is really overrated if you ask me...LOL

For a much safer version switch out the butane can with a can of copressed air, the same find used for cleaning computer keyboards and cameras. I've been doing this for years and my prometheus lights like a dream every time!
