When refilling a regular jet lighter for lighting a bong or dab rig, following these instructions is vital for safety and optimal performance.
Materials
- Jet lighter
- Butane fuel canister
- Small screwdriver or tool that fits the refill valve of the jet lighter
- A cloth or tissue to clean up any spills
Method
Step 1. Prepare Area
To ensure the safe handling of butane fuel, it is important to locate a well-lit area with adequate ventilation. This will help minimise any potential risks or hazards.
Step 2. Bleed Existing Fuel
To safely release any remaining fuel in a jet lighter, press the fuel adjustment wheel until the flame is no longer visible. This helps prevent the mixing of different fuel types.
Step 3. Locate Refill Valve
To refill your jet lighter, find the refill valve at the base. It is usually a small circular opening marked with an "r" or an arrow for the correct direction.
Step 4. Shake Butane Fuel Canister
Before refilling, shake the butane fuel canister to thoroughly mix the fuel and ensure it is at room temperature.
Step 5. Insert Nozzle Into Refill Valve
Insert the butane fuel canister nozzle into the jet lighter's refill valve securely to prevent any leaks.
Step 6. Refill Jet Lighter
To release fuel into the jet lighter, firmly press the butane canister while keeping both the jet lighter and canister steady.
Step 7. Allow Time For Fuel To Stabilise
After refilling the jet lighter, wait a few minutes for the fuel to stabilise before using it. This allows the fuel to settle and release any excess air.
Step 8. Clean Any Spills
To safely remove any spilled fuel and prevent residue, it's important to use a cloth or tissue to clean the jet lighter after refilling.
Step 9. Test The Flame
Once the fuel stabilises, test the flame. If the flame appears weak or flickers, adjustments or another refill may be needed.
By following these instructions, you can refill your jet lighter with butane fuel safely and efficiently, making it ready for use in lighting a bong or dab rig. It is crucial to prioritise safety at all times and handle the butane fuel with caution.
