I'm doing something wrong when I refill my Jetlite. I bought it a week or two ago, and this is the first time I'm trying to refill it.
I've fully purged the lighter 3 or 4 times to assure it is empty, hold it to my ear to ensure no butane is coming out when the button is depressed. (BTW, that click in your ear is loud.) It is well and truely empty.
Next I close the lid, turn the lighter upside down, and put the nozzle of the butane canister on the nipple, and depress the cannister firmly onto the nipple. A brief "squirt" of butane comes out of the nozzle as I depress. I then hold the cannister in the depressed position on the lighter nipple for about 10 seconds.
I then remove the cannister, and set the lighter in the upright position on the counter for 5 or so minutes for the butane to "settle."
When I try to light the Jetlite, I get a blue flame for a fraction of a second, then it goes out. I can hear butane cming out of the lighter, so I presume it has been filled. If I depress the nipple, I get a strong shot of butane.
Am I doing something wrong? Why don't I get a strong steady flame like I did when the lighter was new?
