I have noticed after 4,5 years of smoking that the up and down motion is something you do to finish up. Keeping it in there for 20 seconds really changes the amount of butane in the lighter. With just the up and down motion, my lighter lit up to 10 cigars. If I also did the 20 second wait, I could light up 20 cigars. For reference, this is with my Colibri EVO lighter. That thing still works like new after 4,5 years.

Also if it's a new lighter remember to adjust the flame. I recieved my lighter with the gas on low and it wouldn't light properly.

One piece of advice I read only once is wait for the lighter to chill out before lighting it. I have a Zippo torch lighter, which I carry in the tiny pocket above the right hand side pocket in my jeans, and one week I became enraged with it. I couldn't get it to light up properly at all. Couldn't purge it nicely or refill it completely. At some point I thought I must do something to make the gas in it as liquid and compact as possible to purge it better and make room for more gas. I put it in the freezer compartment in my fridge, and it worked like new. I take it out of my pocket long before refilling it every time now, or put it in the freezer if I'm in a rush. It made all the difference to me. Most videos emphasise the importance of letting it warm up again after refilling it, but rarely talk much about making it cold again before you purge and refill it.

Okay so I’ll blow your minds, leave the lighter in the freezer for about 20 until it’s cold and that will attach the liquid butane rather than gas which means liquid is pulled in rather than gas forcing it’s way in

If lighters have the same temperature of your butane can, you will notice that the gas will not go into the lighter a simple fix is to put your lighter inside a freezer for about 15 minutes come back and the differential in temperature will allow the gas to quickly go in, give it a shot. It works beautifully every time.

There is no good reason for what he is doing and it’s shocking he even made this video. Purge the lighter first,shake up your butane can to create pressure. Hold it upside down and push down for about 5 seconds. If you need to keep pushing down and gently shake so the fuel can warm up. Warming up the fluid creates more pressure so it will fill correctly. Then your done

There's a sweet spot for when applying pressure. Find that sweet spot and hold the butane refill still! Like putting air in a car tire. I can pretty much guarantee I've gone thru more cans of butane than the guy that made this video. I've never once had to move the butane refill bottles and I have definitely never ever had to "warm" the torch after refilling. All that extra stuff he's doing is because cigar smokers sit around so much that they gotta fidget with things.

@@GanjaBreadman I’ve been in the premium cigar industry for almost 30 years. I’ve filled & fixed more butane lighters than you could in 3 lifetimes. You can do it your way. I’m showing people what gets the job done properly. By the way, you are also incorrect about letting the lighter warm first. That’s common knowledge to people that are actually in the cigar industry.

Most times when people bring a lighter back & tell me it’s not working is because they just held the can probably not in that “sweet spot” you speak of. If it works it works.
