To refill a flip lighter, first ensure it's completely cool. Open the lighter and remove the insert by pulling it out of the case. Turn the insert upside down, and locate the filling port, usually covered by a cotton pad. Lift the pad slightly and insert the nozzle of your lighter fluid into the port. Gently squeeze the fluid container, filling the lighter with fluid—stop once it's full. Avoid overfilling. Replace the cotton pad and insert back into the lighter case. Let it sit for a few minutes before using, to allow the fluid to spread evenly.
