To determine if a lighter is refillable, look for a refill valve—usually a small circular indentation or nozzle at the bottom of the lighter. Most refillable lighters also come with branding or instructions on their packaging indicating they can be refilled. If you’re unsure, consult the manufacturer's website or product documentation for confirmation. Additionally, refillable lighters tend to be higher in weight and quality, distinguishing them from disposable ones.
