Using a torch lighter has been a rewarding experience for me, particularly when it comes to lighting up my cigars.

In this article, I’ll guide you through the process of filling your Honest Torch Lighter so that you’re always ready to ignite your next smoke. So, pour yourself a drink, relax, and let’s dive in!
Things You Should Know
Understanding Honest Torch Lighters
Honest Torch Lighters are known for their reliability and performance. They’re designed specifically for enthusiasts like us who appreciate the finer things in life—like a good cigar. They use butane gas, which ensures a clean and consistent flame, making them ideal for lighting tobacco. Knowing how to maintain and fill your torch lighter not only extends its life but also enhances your smoking experience.
Steps to Fill Your Honest Torch Lighter
1. Gather Your Materials
- Butane fuel (preferably a high-quality brand)
- Compressed air (optional, for purging)
- A clean surface to work on
2. Purging the Lighter
The first step, and perhaps the most crucial, is purging your lighter. This process removes any old gas to ensure that your new butane ignites properly. To do this, turn the lighter upside down and press the refill valve with a small tool or screwdriver. It’s good practice to do this in a well-ventilated area, as old gas can escape.
3. Injecting the Butane
Once you’ve purged the lighter, it’s time to fill it with butane. Holding the lighter upside down again, insert the nozzle of the butane canister into the refill valve. Press down firmly for about 3-5 seconds, but be careful not to overfill. If you hear hissing, it’s likely because you’re filling it too fast. A gentle approach works best here.
4. Testing the Lighter
After filling, wait for a few minutes to allow the gas to settle. Then, spark your lighter and test it out! If it lights smoothly, you’re all set. If not, go back and check if purging and filling were done correctly.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Low Flame Height
If you notice that your flame is low, it could be due to either insufficient butane or a problem with the lighter’s adjustment settings. Adjust the flame height using the wheel found on the lighter’s base until you get that perfect flame.
Failure to Ignite
When your lighter refuses to light, check the gas level and make sure it’s filled properly. Sometimes, it could be as simple as a clog in the nozzle, which a quick clean with compressed air can resolve.
Check for Leaks
Periods of gas smell might indicate a leak. If that’s the case, discontinue use immediately and inspect for any damage. Better to be safe than sorry!
