Initially I thought it silly to watch a video on how to refill a butane lighter as I've done this for years as a cigarettes smoker, but figured why not.

Come to find out lighters should be purged, which I had never heard or read before. But I'm lost as to why one ought to turn the gas down to the lowest setting. Anyone?
Don't know for sure, but I recently put my Xikar back in service. Always seemed to have trouble with it and just tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it (like a few other torches through the years). Anyhow, I decided to send it back and was reading where to send it back to and seen something about remedies to try before sending it back. I purged it and hit it with some compressed air and refilled it. So far, so good....
