Adjust Flame Settings: If your lighter hisses or does nothing when you depress the trigger, the flame setting may need adjustment. Hissing with No Flame: Lower the flame setting on your torch lighter. Check if this resolves the problem, as excessive hissing often indicates the flame setting is too high.
A clogged nozzle is a death sentence for a torch lighter. Once clogged, the flow of butane gets restricted and the lighter will stop producing a flame. Even though a hissing sound can be heard, a contaminated nozzle diminishes the flow rate to the failure point.
Often, a lighter can have too low of a maximum flame height setting (due to the restricting ring) and the lighter will not light (on rarer occasions, the max and minimum may both be too high, not allowing the lighter to light).
The hissing sound means gas is flowing correctly when open, if you hold down the button on any bic lighter you will hear the same noise, nothing to worry about.
If it doesn't work, clean the battery contacts, install new batteries, and check the incandescent bulb and the switch with an ohmmeter to confirm continuity. If the continuity of the bulb and the switch checks good and the flashlight still does not work after you re-assemble it, replace the flashlight.
Turn Off the Power Saver Mode
On some phones, the power saver mode automatically turns on when the battery is low. This mode often disables certain features, including the flashlight. To fix this, you can try turning off the power saver mode. To do this, open the battery settings menu and turn off the power saver mode.
Butane is an explosion hazard and causes a dangerous fire when vapors are ignited from heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. Butane is heavier than air and may travel long distances to a point of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat or fire.
Conduct a leak test in a well-ventilated and spark-free area where there are no open flames. Attach torch to fuel cylinder. With the valve open, without lighting, rub soapy water on all connections. If bubbles appear, gas is leaking, and the torch must be repaired or replaced.
Luckily, you can effectively clean the residue with a can of compressed air and a clean cloth. First, turn down the flame control to its lowest setting, then depress the butane nozzle at the top of the lighter where the flame distributes with a small screwdriver head, effectively depleting any remaining air or butane.
Make sure the lighter is fueled. If it is filled and not lighting, check the wick. Trim and replace if needed. Be sure the wick is properly interwoven in the cotton packing located in the inside unit.
Replace the Flint
If your jet torch lighter fails to produce a spark, the flint may be worn out and need replacing. Flints are the small, cylindrical pieces of ferrocerium that create sparks when scraped by the lighter's wheel.
Moderation is key.
Don't overfill – stop adding liquid butane when the hissing sound stops.
Torch lighters have two valves (the burner valve and the filler valve) — it can leak from either or both of these. You can use a set of tweezers to tighten the refill valve located at the base of your torch lighter. Turn clockwise and be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage your torch.
While this is fine practice with a deodorant spray or air freshener it is NOT OK to shake your can of butane right before you refill your butane lighter! Shaking the can increases the amount of propellant in the mixture that goes into the lighter tank.
A: Unless they actively smell of the additive used in butane (much like the natural gas additive scent), you can store them anywhere that is cool and dry.
A temporary hissing sound is common when you refill a butane lighter as fuel and air escapes in the process. But, if the noise persists, butane is leaking out, which is dangerous because it can ignite. Send your lighter out for repair, or toss it away, if won't stop hissing when you refill it.
If the pressure is not released after each use, it can build and build with every refill, meaning less and less butane will flow into the gas chamber every time you refill it.
The possible reasons for the non-functioning of the torch are: The torch bulb may be fused. The cells may be discharged. The cells may not be placed in the correct order.
When looking at a torch igniter that is not working, there are 3 components to consider: Is there a spark? Is there a flow of fuel? What is the cleanliness of the torch tip and tube?
Get yourself some canned air like the kind you would use to clean a computer keyboard and give your lighter's jets a couple of quick air blasts to free up anything that may be clogging them. Then, take a q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol and gently swab the jets to eliminate any remnants.
