To refill a lighter with lighter fluid, first ensure the lighter is completely cool. Turn the lighter upside down and remove the filler cap or pad to expose the filling chamber. Use a lighter fluid bottle with a fill nozzle to insert into the chamber, and gently squeeze to fill, being careful not to overfill. Wipe away any spills immediately. Replace the filler cap or pad, and let the lighter sit before igniting it, ensuring any excess fluid has evaporated. Doing this in a well-ventilated area is advisable to prevent fume inhalation.
