BIC Mega Happy Standard Utility Lighter - Red

Product Information

After gaining access to this hole, you will need to widen it so your refill valve can fit correctly inside. When deciding what size drill bit is needed, ensure that whatever diameter tool used should not exceed more than slightly wider than the width measurement taken from previous steps when noting down measurements before drilling begins. When inserting your refill valve, slight agitation around its circumference may be needed with a razor so as not to damage any wiring present in the interior area of your Bic lighter.

These lighters are refillable, preventing you from needing to buy more, saving you money in the long run. The body of the lighter boasts a fuel level window so you can easily tell when it is time to refill them, and at the bottom is a concealed hook for either attaching this to your waistband for easy access, or for hanging up to store in a safe area when no longer in use. Butane would spill everywhere if you simply pressed the butane canister valve into the hole you created. As a result, you’ll need to add something to the valve to provide a proper seal.In a pinch, a large rubber band would suffice. Cut a tiny hole in the rubber band with your pin and insert the valve into it. Or, if you have a good-fitting rubber grommet, that can work too. Step 4: Once you have gathered all these essential items, you’re ready to refill your BIC lighter. Why You Should Do This

However, some extra force might need to go into making sure everything is secure during this insertion procedure. And with that, all left to do now is give your lighter a try and enjoy its rejuvenation! 2. The Refill Valve What You Need Using a drill bit or something similar, you could make small openings into the divider to allow room for your valve and still be strong enough to keep it from collapsing when applying pressure of fuel is added in the fifth step of this process. Step 5: This way, too much fuel won’t escape the chamber once filled, as an airtight seal is necessary for this purpose. Step 3:Fill the lighter with butane while keeping it upside down. A classic-size Bic lighter takes about 30 seconds to fill. Although, if this is your first time, I recommend you put less, as you will see in step 5. Step 5: Yes, it is a good idea to shake the canister of butane before filling a lighter. This will mix up any sediment that has settled at the bottom of the container and ensure that you get a consistent fuel flow into your lighter.

Due to this, wear protective gear before beginning so that no harm comes your way, and grab a bottle with fuel as you slowly pour it into the lighter until its chambers are covered entirely. Knowing how to refill a disposable lighter, on the other hand, is a useful survival ability and just good to know. To get past this obstacle, simply insert your pin and push it in until you can feel the ball inside trembling. This lets you know that the seal has been broken, allowing any lighter fluid to pass through this opening again. Step 2:To do this, simply unscrew and remove the screw from the lighter base itself – some fluid may come out while doing so that must be discarded before refilling with new gas later on. And of course, a word of warning, you are playing with fire here, so please refill the butane lighter at your own risk. 1. The Pin What You Need When poking into this opening, be careful not to make puncture any further than needed as doing so could cause an unwanted fuel leak once filled and could also put the lighter into a state of disrepair. Step 2: Now that your hole has been made larger to accommodate for a boost, make sure you flip over and shake up the lighter so any debris leftover from drilling comes out of its interior area before continuing with the next step. Step 4: Place a refill valve at the bottom of the lighter using this process. This encourages you to reload the Bic lighter several times.

You should also ensure your butane container had enough pressure before refilling your lighter and confirm that there was no faulty connection when you filled it with fuel. Does butane float or sink in air? This method is more straightforward but can get messy. The video above will show this process. Step 1: If you use lighters excessively and need to replace them, you should consider purchasing a refillable lighter. A sliding tab near the arm of the lighter allows you to easily alter the size of the flame so you can tailor it for specific tasks. If your butane lighter is not working after being refilled with fuel, there are a few potential causes.In the bottom of your Bic lighter, you will locate a small hole. This is where you need to push with something like a pin or drill bit before it lands within the interior area of the lighter.
