As some of you know I have a cheapo colibri lighter that just wouldnt stay lit even after purging and refilling (I only use vector butane). The lighter was making me go crazy so I decided to take it apart.
I unscrewed the small screw at the bottom of the lighter and the whole lighter inner assembly slipped out of the metal casing. I then saw there was a little piece of metal on the flame adjust knob that purpose is to limit how high or low you can adjust the flame. I got a small screwdriver and pryed the o-ring and small metal piece off the adjuster and put the lighter back together.
I then cranked the adjuster up a bit and now I have a lighter that lights everytime and has about a 1.5 inch flame. The adjuster can turn even higher but I really dont need a larger flame then I have now. Its much easier now to toast my cigars and light them no matter how large the ringe guage of the cigar is.
