BIC Mega Happy Standard Utility Lighter - Red

Product Information

After gaining access to this hole, you will need to widen it so your refill valve can fit correctly inside. When deciding what size drill bit is needed, ensure that whatever diameter tool used should not exceed more than slightly wider than the width measurement taken from previous steps when noting down measurements before drilling begins. The last phase before completing this process is to close it up! Taking away any finger and inserting a push pin should certainly do it. Pliers and a file can be used to make the pin more flush with the lighter’s surface so that it fits perfectly while still sealing any gaps. Fill the lighter with butane while keeping it upside down. A classic-size Bic lighter takes about 30 seconds to fill. Although, if this is your first time, I recommend you put less, as you will see in step 5. Step 5: This step should be done carefully with caution as any mishandling could cause significant damage or, worse, loss of life if there is ever an explosion when in use. These lighters are refillable, preventing you from needing to buy more, saving you money in the long run. The body of the lighter boasts a fuel level window so you can easily tell when it is time to refill them, and at the bottom is a concealed hook for either attaching this to your waistband for easy access, or for hanging up to store in a safe area when no longer in use.

Once you have gathered all these essential items, you’re ready to refill your BIC lighter.

At the base of your Bic lighter’s fuel chamber, there is a rubber divider typically kept in place to keep it isolated and separated from other chambers for extra safety. If your butane lighter is not working after being refilled with fuel, there are a few potential causes. Carefully follow all safety precautions when refilling a lighter with butane, as it can be dangerous and potentially cause an explosion or fire if not handled correctly! Are you supposed to shake butane before filling?

Knowing how to refill a disposable lighter, on the other hand, is a useful survival ability and just good to know. This method is more straightforward but can get messy. The video above will show this process. Step 1: Place a refill valve at the bottom of the lighter using this process. This encourages you to reload the Bic lighter several times. To get past this obstacle, simply insert your pin and push it in until you can feel the ball inside trembling. This lets you know that the seal has been broken, allowing any lighter fluid to pass through this opening again. Step 2: In a pinch, a large rubber band would suffice. Cut a tiny hole in the rubber band with your pin and insert the valve into it. Or, if you have a good-fitting rubber grommet, that can work too. Step 4:

When inserting your refill valve, slight agitation around its circumference may be needed with a razor so as not to damage any wiring present in the interior area of your Bic lighter. And of course, a word of warning, you are playing with fire here, so please refill the butane lighter at your own risk. 1. The Pin What You Need When poking into this opening, be careful not to make puncture any further than needed as doing so could cause an unwanted fuel leak once filled and could also put the lighter into a state of disrepair. Step 2:In the bottom of your Bic lighter, you will locate a small hole. This is where you need to push with something like a pin or drill bit before it lands within the interior area of the lighter. Using a drill bit or something similar, you could make small openings into the divider to allow room for your valve and still be strong enough to keep it from collapsing when applying pressure of fuel is added in the fifth step of this process. Step 5: Simple to use, these Bic Mega Lighters are essential for any busy food service professional. They’re perfect to have on hand for any table top candles, food warmers, and for firing up your BBQ. Now that your hole has been made larger to accommodate for a boost, make sure you flip over and shake up the lighter so any debris leftover from drilling comes out of its interior area before continuing with the next step. Step 4: Inexpensive, versatile, and easy-to-use, these refillable butane lighters are great for restaurants, catering operations, and any other food-serving establishments.

Butane would spill everywhere if you simply pressed the butane canister valve into the hole you created. As a result, you’ll need to add something to the valve to provide a proper seal. Butane is both lighter and less dense than air, meaning that it will float in the atmosphere. This can make detecting a butane leak more difficult because it won’t sink to the floor like other fuel vapors. If none of these tools are available near you, then an appropriately sized flathead pushpin should work fine, too.To do this, simply unscrew and remove the screw from the lighter base itself – some fluid may come out while doing so that must be discarded before refilling with new gas later on. Butane can be quite pressurized, so as soon as any gas flow gets cut off, it’ll want all of its fluid out like a tempted faucet that just got shut! To prevent this, place your thumb on the Bic lighter’s hole when removing the butane canister so that nothing gets released. Step 6: When you reload, there are no irritating push pins, no pressing your thumb over the hole, and no liquid fuel spurting anywhere. This way, too much fuel won’t escape the chamber once filled, as an airtight seal is necessary for this purpose. Step 3: However, some extra force might need to go into making sure everything is secure during this insertion procedure. And with that, all left to do now is give your lighter a try and enjoy its rejuvenation! 2. The Refill Valve What You Need

Insert your pin into the small hole at the base of the Bic lighter. This is necessary if you want to properly refill it with butane gas, as a ball seals off this opening and prevents any lighter fluid from coming out or going in. The entire body of the lighter has been designed to fit nicely in your hand, so is comfortable to use repeatedly if needed. You should also ensure your butane container had enough pressure before refilling your lighter and confirm that there was no faulty connection when you filled it with fuel. Does butane float or sink in air? If you use lighters excessively and need to replace them, you should consider purchasing a refillable lighter. Due to this, wear protective gear before beginning so that no harm comes your way, and grab a bottle with fuel as you slowly pour it into the lighter until its chambers are covered entirely.Instead, its presence will remain suspended near or at ceiling level until something causes agitation of the room’s lower levels—like from airflow resulting from opening a door.
