How to Refill a Colibri Lighter: Step-by-Step Instructions
Before You Begin:
* Safety First: Always refill your lighter in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
* Identify your lighter: Make sure you have the correct lighter fluid. Colibri lighters generally use butane, so you'll need butane refill gas.
* Prepare your lighter: Make sure the lighter is completely empty.
Refilling Steps:
1. Locate the valve: Colibri lighters typically have a valve located on the bottom or side of the lighter.
2. Turn the lighter upside down: This ensures the fluid flows into the lighter properly.
3. Insert the butane nozzle: Align the nozzle of the butane canister with the lighter's valve. Do not force the nozzle.
4. Press down on the nozzle: Hold the nozzle firmly against the valve and press down, allowing the butane to flow into the lighter.
5. Listen for the filling sound: You should hear a hissing sound as the butane fills the lighter.
6. Stop filling when full: When the lighter feels heavy, stop filling. Do not overfill.
7. Release the nozzle: Once the lighter is full, release the nozzle from the valve.
8. Wait for the gas to settle: Allow the lighter to sit for a few minutes to let the gas settle before using it.
Extra Tips:
* Clean the valve: If you have trouble refilling, gently clean the valve with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
* Check for leaks: After refilling, check for leaks by spraying a small amount of butane into the air.
* Store properly: Store your lighter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Note: Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your Colibri lighter for the most accurate and safe refilling procedure.
