Recently my jet lighter will not hold any fuel. Each time I try to fill it up the fuel just comes right back out the bottom.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or is it trash?

Thanks

It's just a Nibo Effect 71, I've had it for about 5 years no problems. I noticed it wouldn't hold fuel after it was in the car for a whole weekend, with temp about 100. Hell, my pos Colibri has held up longer.

toss it, you got your 5 years worth. buy a xikar and your set, ronsons are POS...you'd be wasting that 3$. use that towards a xikar.

It blew out the seal & won't hold fuel. The Butane expands in the heat & will do this EVERY time. I know, I'm a FOG that had this happen to 2 of my best lighters.

Toss it & buy a new one.

I keep my vector table torch (i think thats what its called) in my car year round. Extreme heat and cold. Its about 4+ years old, no problems. I havent had a lot of lighters, most suck, but this is the best $25 i spent on a lighter...not the most convenient to always carry in pants pocket, but its doable

Treat yourself to a new one. 5 years is very good for some lighters. Tanks usually last three or until his daughter finds them. Then we can't find them.

I agree with most on here (wrong board btw). Been there and done that.

It can be a pia unless you pull a Rickamaven & buy a box of cheap Galaxy Lites in assorted colors (or similar) wholesale. Not torch lighters but get the job done- occasionally the lighters need a little, simple flame adjusting but sooooo cheap and easy.

Agree..... Get a xikar....if it blows, konks out , your dog chews it, etc.... They replace it for life......The tech lighter is around 18- 22 dollars depending on what site you get it....SOME even ship for free.
