But the gist of it was to get a max butane refill on your lighter, put it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes prior to filling it. Fill it, and let warm up before using it. OK.

So I tried it this morning. Normally, without all the purging nonsense I get about a 1/4 inch "air" gap in the reservoir. After tossing it the fridge for awhile, no muss, no fuss, it just FILLED with only a 1/16-1/8th in gap. Holy crap. Huge difference from it's normal. Not even going to try and purge that. It's almost maxed out.

It's my new ritual. It works. =d>

Fill

Press

Fill.

Repeat as necessary.

Interesting. 🤔

I'll try it next time I have to refill my Xikar Tech Single and see how much more I can squeeze in.

Thanks.

yes, hold upside down and do the purge, I believe that removes what little butane remains...but if you turn it right side up and purge out the bottom, you will get the rest of the air too.

First upside down, then right side up. I may have the gasses mixed up, but you'll be better off getting both.

I'm quite fond of bof of 'em

Ditto. (burp)

No wonder u putting your lighters in the fridge. 🤦

The smaller area, the more pressure. The liquid evaporates at the same rate. I'm getting much better jets now.

Not all of us have to deal with “mile high” problems. 😳
