How to Tell When a Butane Lighter Is Filled
- 1). Hold the butane lighter upside down and angle the fill hole away from your face. Turn the flame adjustment wheel to its lowest setting. Some lighters have a screw that require a small flat-head screwdriver to adjust the flame height.
- 2). Press the center of the butane fill hole with the small flat-head screwdriver to allow air to release from the lighter.
- 3). Shake the butane refill canister vigorously and place the tip of the can nozzle over the refill hole. Press the can and nozzle down to begin filling the butane lighter.
- 4). Release the can from the lighter once air begins to pass through the seal between the nozzle and the refill hole. There is a seal around the center of the refill hole that allows air to expel once the lighter is full. The butane lighter is now full.
