im corona Old Boy Lighter - Antique Brass Hammer Tone

Use high quality, ultra refined butane fuel like Xikar or Newport Zero. This will increase the lifespan of the lighter and make for a smoother lighting experience.

TO FILL:

• Check for Empty: Ensure the lighter is nearly empty to prevent overfilling.
• Bleed Air: Turn fuel adjustment wheel counterclockwise to the plus mark and release remaining pressure.
• Read the Instructions: Review lighter's user manual for specific refueling instructions.
• Adjust Flame: Turn fuel adjustment wheel clockwise to the minus mark.
• Fit the Nozzle: Match fuel refill nozzle to lighter's refill valve, ensuring a secure connection.
• Invert and Fill: Hold lighter and canister upside-down, press nozzle to refill valve, filling in short bursts. Press down for three seconds and release. Repeat three to five times (or more depending on the fuel capacity of your lighter).
• Refill Slowly: Avoid overfilling by refilling slowly and in short bursts.
• Wait: Allow fuel to stabilize for a few minutes before attempting to light the lighter.
• Adjust Flame: Use the flame adjustment dial to increase the flame size if needed.

We like high quality butane like Xikar or Newport Zero. Both will increase the lifespan of the lighter and make for a smoother lighting experience.
