To fill a refillable lighter, ensure the lighter is at room temperature first. Turn the lighter upside down to access the filling valve. Take your butane fuel canister and insert the nozzle into the valve, pressing down firmly for about 5 seconds. Repeat this process 2-3 times, allowing a few seconds in between to let the gas settle. Once filled, wait at least 2 minutes before igniting to let the butane gas reach room temperature for optimal performance.
