Filled My Lighter

[rodwha]

I don't purge mine but I do put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes before I fill them. Something about it lowers the pressure in the lighter to allow for a better fill. The only thing I can think with closing the gas valve is that maybe there will be less chance of fluid leaking by the valve?

Now that I'm thinking about it I noticed my lighter quit filling at a point (it has a window to view the fluid, which totally charges me with negligence for having a dry lighter). Maybe an equilibrium was reached that could have been fixed by chilling mine. Hmmmm...

I have a cheapy with a clear reservoir that I noticed after I started chilling them I could get it much fuller.

i have a "cheapy" as well with a clear tank and when it dose not fill the whole way i will purge it some and than top it off and all is fine. my input on turning the flame adjustment down was to minimize air getting into the tank like the famous quote says. i seem to get a better fill with the dial down and closer to a full fill
