Shake your butane fuel can and press its nozzle into the lighter's filling valve and press down firmly for about 5 seconds. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a complete fill. After filling, wait at least a few minutes before attempting to ignite the lighter to allow the gas to settle and reach room temperature.
