Do you always purge?

[piperdown]

I never purge my Ronson. The thing is a tank and takes/has taken so much abuse that it almost seems sacrilegious to baby it.(For those wondering, yes it is still the same Ronson I have had for years)

I do purge my others though. As Don said, try using shorter bursts of gas.

Humph, my older Ronson no purge, some of the newer ones seem to need it.
Normally I just throw it in the freezer for 10 mins, fill and count to 10 and it's good to go.

This is what I started doing a little while back. Works like a charm.

I've had the same experience with my Ronsons, but have never tried the freezing thing.
