Tips and tricks for using a butane lighter for vaporizers

What Should I Consider When Using a Butane Lighter?

If you use a Dynavap, Tempest, or another Thermal Extraction Device (TED), you should also regularly maintain your jet flame lighter, as a good lighter for your vaporizer is essential to achieve the best performance.

Lighters wear out and therefore need to be replaced from time to time.

It’s best to close your lighter after each use. A cap protects the nozzle from dust and prevents foreign objects from entering during refilling. If your model has no cap, simply blow out the nozzle occasionally.

Press the button on your lighter slowly. This ensures better ignition and extends the life of the lighter.

Refilling the Lighter Correctly

1. Use only high-quality, thoroughly purified butane (e.g., Tycoon). Often labeled “Near Zero Impurities.”
2. Ensure there is no open flame nearby during refilling.
3. Set the flame size to low.
4. You can vent the lighter if necessary using a pointed object. Press the refill valve until no hissing sound is heard. The lighter is now gas- and air-free.
5. If you place the lighter in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, refilling is easier due to a slight vacuum. The butane canister should be at hand temperature.
6. To refill, invert the butane can and the lighter. Attach the proper nozzle. Carefully insert it into the lighter’s refill opening and press for about 5 seconds. Repeat if necessary.
7. Allow the lighter to return to room temperature before next use to ensure proper function.
8. Adjust the flame size as desired.

By properly maintaining your lighter and using high-quality gas, you can extend its lifespan and save money.
