5 x TorJet Windproof Turbo Lighters Powerful Refillable Red Purple Black Yellow Blue Electric

Product Information

When you invest in a quality torch lighter, you want to make it last. To be frank, losing your lighter is a likely higher risk than poor maintenance, but you still want to make sure you get as much life out of your torch lighter as possible. To understand why torch lighters are a good choice, you need to understand how a cigar tends to burn. A common mistake made by many novice cigar smokers is to use the heat and roar of a torch lighter to scorch the foot of the cigar, incinerating good quality tobacco and ruining at least the first few puffs from your cigar.

So In this I'll cover diagnosis, repair and also dismantling and assembly (most lighters designs' are a common principle... )You now know the advantages of turbo lighters, windproof, and powered by hot and straight torch flames. Most torch lighters can be refilled. A refillable torch lighter can be refilled with universal butane gas when the gas runs out. As we mentioned in our tutorial on how to refill a kitchen lighter, it's just three easy steps: First, so you can properly maintain and refuel them, ensuring you can responsibly make them last longer by knowing how to work with them. Secondly, so you have a better understanding of what to look for when shopping for a high quality torch lighter. And lastly: the more you know about your torch lighter, the more effective you’ll be using one to create a steady, even burn on the cigars in your collection. Fuel Tank Now that you’ve found the torch lighter of your choice, the fun part begins: lighting your cigar. But with a torch lighter that’s capable of 2,500-degrees Fahrenheit, you want to ensure you’re lighting it properly. Whenever storing your torch lighter, you want to purge as much fuel as possible. Do this in the same way as when refilling your tank, by using a small screwdriver or thin metal rod to depress the refill nozzle, releasing the remaining fuel. In the event you forget to do this, your lighter may appear to stop working the next time you use it. If this happens, just repeat the same process of releasing the remaining fuel by depressing the refill nozzle.

If your cigar begins to canoe or tunnel for any reason, use your torch lighter to correct by spot-lighting when needed. If your cigar is tunneling, you may want to ease up on how often you’re puffing from the cigar. If the gas still isn't getting out the nozzle then the nozzle's clogged, symptoms include the lighter bursting into flame for a second during use. take some thin wire or a pin and put it through the nozzle to clear it. An unrefined fuel source, or a poor fuel source, can affect the smell and taste of your cigar, as well as the temperature of the flame. That’s why it’s beneficial to understand how lighters were developed, the fuel they use now, and what fuel torch lighters use and why. A Brief History of Lighter Fuels What is the secret behind the technical aspect that makes this torch lighter the best choice for use in windy weather? Learn the technical and basic reasons why the right one can smooth your outdoor adventure. I'll explain it plain and simple. The mixture of gas and air in the torch lighter is the key. Visually, torch lighters can vary by color, with some appearing plastic, fun, and with bright neon colors. Others display a more formal, elegant look. These are your more traditional styles—gunmetal or stainless steel. Consider matching the style of your torch lighter with the style of your humidor or cigar cutter . StyleThese powerful lighting sources use pressurized butane and piezo ignition to create an air-propelled, ultra-hot flame perfect for lighting cigars. An interesting downside of the single jet torch lighter: all the heat and flame is directed at a single point, which produces a higher heat level at a very specific placement. You want an even distribution of heat and flame. The larger the cigar, the wider the spread. Adding an additional nozzle helps. Thanks to the air pressure from the orifice, the mixture of gas and air is ejected out of the burner hole at a dramatically faster rate. While disposable lighters and Zippos still use butane, you’ll notice a distinct difference in the color of the flame between those and a torch lighter. Unrefined butane will produce the yellow color in the flame. Refined butane produces an invisible or bluish hue to the flame.

While torch lighters maintain the popular vote among cigar smokers as the best method to light cigars, there are those who still prefer soft flame lighters that don’t carry the same blowtorch effect as a torch lighter. Zippos, Bics , and other similar gas station lighters are included in this category. Soft flame lighters don’t fare well in windy weather, but some still prefer the sensation of being able to light their cigar by puffing on this flame. One of the more important components of the torch lighter is the protective cap that covers the nozzle(s) when not in use. This is especially important to prevent accidental ignition for any reason, and it also prevents potential burning after using the lighter. Because torch lighters burn so hot, 2500 degrees Fahrenheit, the metal around the flame nozzles will become extremely hot, and the protective cap keeps you out of danger and discomfort. Adjustable Nozzle

I've had the same torch lighter for almost 4 years. It's BAD ASS! I've already replaced the sparker and the hoses once, and I lost all the case screws, so I had to electric tape it together when I had problems with using hoses that were too small (they kept popping off the couplings from the pressure). Anyhow, NOW it leaks from the fill valve somewhere. I don't know if it's the little rubber washer that prevents gas from escaping or not (though I suspect it is), but I took it all apart. I can't do anything to the bottom, as I don't have the tool it would take to remove it from the tank. I DID take apart the TOP though, and after unscrewing and removing the spring-loaded nozzle, the inner piece it screwed on to had the spring and this tiny-ass little pointy guy, that fits both nicely in the spring AND nicely in the nozzle. But it can't go in both. I turned the gosh darn WHOLE THING upside down when I was getting it outta there and didn't realize the spring and pointy guy were in there. I even dropped the spring and spent a considerable amount of time looking for it. My wife was the one to find it, actually NOT on the floor, but on the bed, where I was sitting and working on this thing. I love the dynastash and it's unfortunate that it can't hold a lighter but this connects to the magnet really nicely which is the next best thing. As mentioned above, the TORJET is refillable with standard premium butane, and the lighter didn’t seem to have any issues when I switched brands during my testing. To refill the device, simply flip it upside down to reveal the fuel valve on the bottom, purge the remaining air with a draw poker or similar device, and then insert the fuel can’s stem and fill until you see the fluid close to the clear plastic bottom. Different from your standard Bic lighter that offer an inconsistent, dancing flame, torch lighters are designed to offer more control both over the consistency of the flame, as well as the amount of heat and flame you produce. A third and most recent option for creating a spark has been lithium ion battery torch lighters. Similar to piezo ignition lighters, these use an electric current to create a spark and produce a flame, but they claim to have an easier push-button mechanism than piezo lighters require. The downside, however, is that these are charged with a USB cord, and you’re not always aware of when your battery is low, opposed to a piezo ignition torch lighter. Protective Cap

Keep tabs on your fuel tank to ensure you never run out of fuel for your torch lighter. As you use your personal lighter more frequently, you’ll get a better feel for how long you have before you need to refuel, but that can also vary widely based on how high of a flame you’re using, what outside conditions are causing you to use a higher flame, like weather, and how many jets your particular lighter has. More jets equals a faster use of fuel. For this reason, consider purchasing a torch lighter that includes a fuel window. Fuel Window The fuel tank of a torch lighter stores the butane in liquid form. This takes up the bulk of the lighter and releases portions of the butane in gas form when the user activates the release and spark button.As a cigar enthusiast, you’ll eventually come to own several torch lighters of various styles, sizes, and types. Often you’ll meet enthusiasts who keep a collection, or even have lighters designated for certain occasions. Regardless, consider the importance of storing your torch lighter properly to ensure its longevity and that it still works when you return to it.
