If it was broke, I would send it in. It isn't broken, I just think it has a weaker flame then others. I have it on the highest setting and after purging and refilling it is working much better. I wouldn't buy one again, but it doesn't suck like I thought at first.

I don't want to sound condescending but you are you bleeding the lighter before filling it up, no?The damn lighter runs out of fuel so fast without making the flame bigger I don't want to make it any worse. I'll just use a different lighter.
You need to bleed the lighter every time you refill it to get all the air out of the tank so the fuel can fill it completely. You may not be geting a full tank, making it seem like it doesn't hold alot.
Some of it could just be the lighter, the Exec doesn't seem to have a very big fuel tank.
no tank to see so I never know for sure.
How?
