To increase the flame of a lighter, first ensure it's adjustable. Locate the adjustment wheel or dial, usually found at the base of the lighter. Turn it gently towards the '+' sign to increase the flame. Do this gradually to avoid a flame that's too large, which can be dangerous. If your lighter doesn't have this feature, it's not designed for flame adjustment. Always adjust in a safe environment, away from any flammable materials.
