Thank you! I was about to throw out my eagle torch. It always had a low flame issues. I purged the whole lighter first and refilled. Then found this video. Life saver!

[@jessicacole3548]

This man is a life saver and saved us a trip to the Arab mart in a snow storm right now 🤣

[@moeharb259]

Hahahahahahah

[@jakeofalltrades7535]

Perfect! Knew how to move the gas but didn’t know where the metal clip was supposed to be as it all flew apart when I opened it. Lit right up after I secured the clip to the base of the butane rubber tube. Thanks!

[@din9862]

i was a little skeptical at first but i followed along with the video and my torch works better than it did before. thank you so much!!!

[@Dude90077]

Great to hear!

[@smokeandmirrors6167]

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES BROSEPH!!! I have had my eagle torch for probably 5 or 6 years and it's been reliable af up until my last move to a new place. Your pro tip got her back in action!!

[@Dude90077]

Glad I could help

[@colonike007]

Thank you as someone mentioned previously this technique will work with the Torches experiencing a lack of power low Flame issues but I literally just did it and how much works like a champ so for those specific issues this video these techniques that he uses work great

Excellent!

what fuckin torch do you use that lasted you 10 years wtf

The flame of my this type of lighter grow smaller n smaller even after I refilled it full. Luckily and thankfully l found your video and follow your method; n now the flame is restored back to its original size. Thank you

[@xavierholguin4209]

Just watched this video and was very informational on how to fix the inside, I learned tho my valve was out of alignment and had a bit of buildup that was making the flame sputter and not a cone shape, try scraping it gently and lining it up straight again!

[@jackGDoubleS]

My adjustable flame thing leaks when ever I put it high flame, when it's low flame it don't leak

[@Jahoot0105]

Thanks a bunch. I have a collection of lighters and now I have the tools and knowledge on maintaining

[@larryborshard7824]

Excellent close-up video showing all the details, and thorough explanation. Thanks! Looking forward to resurrecting my useless lighter. Thanks again! (Update: It worked! But that metal piece fell out, and I didn't put it back in right. The flame wouldn't shut off! I moved it down more on the valve that opens to let fuel pass, and that worked. Whew! Thanks again!)

[@Dude90077]

Glad it helped!

[@sirlancer23]

Thank you for this I bought the cheep knock off version that walmart sells several years ago and it was doing the same thing yours was so I threw it in a drawer thinking I would fix it one day. I found it while I was looking for something else and decided to try to fix it. I found your video and was able to follow along and fix my torch.

[@Dude90077]

You're welcome!!

[@TheStunnerFTW]

Very CHEEP huh

[@DarranJHankey66]

Even real PROF aren't quality now, esp double jetted ,I'd never touch one

[@grumpy039]

Didn't help mine. Just got it worked for about a minute and a half then stopped. It's full of butane won't light even using a lighter, butane no longer comes out even though I can see it in the lighter.

[@MrTimothybratton]

@@grumpy039 sounds like u have a blockage

[@groovynelson1575]

Thanks! Worked for me and reminds me of turning the old bics or any other lighter like that. Turn up the adjustable. I light torches. Thanks again.

[@Dude90077]

Excellent!

[@stevenc8140]

These can develop a “vapor lock” which has to be purged by inverting the lighter and sticking a paper clip on the fill valve to release the pressure. Also I cleaned the front nozzle with thinner and a brush to remove unseen residue buildup. And this worked great. No screwing around needed.

[@BirdFromYakiVegas]

Good looking out 👍🏼... I had no spark so I hit it with a soft wire brush. It cleaned it right up, sparking and working like new. ThanQ for the tip

[@mybloodalittledarker5216]

What type of screwdriver

[@hiddenaether]

fuck man i wish i woulda read this comment before tearing apart my torch...

[@philvigil6128]

I seem to get a problem with the balance isnt in synch with the ignition switch sparks too early no fuel. Bend arms up on the u shaped lever that wraps around switch so gas is releasing the spark occurs

[@nxdus]

literally just wasted my butane with that 😂😂 time to buy a new torch the one it got is either fake or just cheap asf

[@isaacstrong5393]

Holy shit the exact video I was looking for and it actually worked! Just concerned about how now I think too much gas comes out and the flame stays on for a second or two after I let go. Great video!

[@wadepatton2433]

you're getting it hotter than designed for. I could be quite dangerous. I'd move it back half a turn.

[@hiddenaether]

@@wadepatton2433 No, its simply releasing extra gas that has built up in the hose due to higher pressure buildup from adjusting the regulator... Its perfectly fine (perhaps not as safe as if it didnt do that) but not gonna cause a lost hand or anything... Just blow out the excess flame when you arent using it

[@rickcalbert8814]

The little wishbone-shaped piece can get bent a little, that'll make it stay lit after releasing the gas

[@Metalhead-4life]

Exactly what I needed, like the old adjustable Bic lighters. just wanted to make sure it would go back together. Thanks!

[@Dude90077]

No problem 👍

[@careynichols1686]

Just so everyone knows, doing this isn't always going to fix your lighter! In fact, this is only going to fix the ones that have a low flame or problems with not enough gas. In my experience, most of the time it's the ignition switches that go bad and good luck finding those!!! I have a graveyard of parts and I take them apart all the time and use something from one to fix another but if the ignitor switch is bad then it's not going to work no matter what you do until you replace the switch. Good luck guys!

[@iceebalboa3177]

I saw the ol Bic lighter trick & began looking for my keys.

[@jackGDoubleS]

My torch is leaking when ever I put the adjustable thing high. When I put the flame low it doesn't leak any fix

[@maddogkilla1]

Eagle just needs to make a better quality lighter. Honestly, the lighters wouldnt be shit of they weren't guaranteed to malfunction after a few weeks

[@benjaminneaves3195]

@@iceebalboa3177 I definitely remember those days especially when you put it up really high and someone asks for your lighter and the flame burns off their eye brows!

[@BirdFromYakiVegas]

They had ignition switch problem kept getting stuck I sprayed WD-40 in there and just let it sit for a week I don't want to spark it and blow myself up work like a charm got it unstuck and been working fine ever since

[@deathgrinderb3284]

dude i had just got mine like a month or two ago. and its already not flaming. it still has fuel in it. so good to know.

[@BodomFox]

This is a great fix that I've applied to majority of my lighters. More people need to know it!

[@gaetaboots9292]

Thank you for taking the time to record this. I’ve had my Torch for almost 3 years and a just recently stopped working. I was able to fix the flame adjuster and now the trigger button on the top stopped working . “ doesn’t click”. Hopefully I can find a tutorial on that. God bless you good sir

[@Dude90077]

Sounds like you messed up the metal piece Look at the video at 2:46 and make sure your eagle torch looks like that There's a metal part all the way to the right underneath the plastic part that needs to be there Along with where I'm pointing the screwdriver Other than that I don't know what to tell you

[@jennyhardy280]

Take the black thing out & turn it around

[@bamaincali]

@@Dude90077 can you maybe make a video on that? I am having problems with the click igniter and it doesn’t click all the way anymore. I think the safety stop is somehow keeping the igniter from igniting.

Yes take the black thing out and flip it around it works everytime

[@MohsinMokarami]

Excellent remedy. Thanks Dave.

[@jennifereckman5916]

I just want to say that I just watched your video and it's been the most helpful video I've ever watched as far as using these Eagle type cheaper torches and I really appreciate what you did and you explained it so well so hats off to you I'm hopefully mine works because this one that I have I'm trying to fix right now you need to push on it it doesn't even want to click it just like stuck it's like click when you push it so hopefully that does the trick maybe I can figure out what it really is but thank you so much for the help I really appreciate it happy Fourth of July

[@texasgangsta]

This helped a lot but still doesn't want to light up sometimes. Before you wouldn't hear the butane coming out when u clicked it but now u really can hear it but sometimes no flame. This happened after half the og butane was used. Could the igniton switch really go bad after half the use of the torch?

[@toney4921]

Dude! You are the freaking man!! Thanks for the video!!

[@user-mt9tn1ni4g]

Wow.. just imagine we were doing the same exact thing with disposable lighters what 40 years ago. 😂😂😂😂 With a little ingenuity you could refill and old school Bic lighter.. that was 30 years ago!! But yes thank you for the video..

Huh?

[@hiddenaether]

Yeah using a thumbtack to break through the refill hole, slam a can of butane inside, put the thumbtack back in

I took mine apart and I figured out where all of the pieces go except for a tiny spring. My torch is smaller than this one but same brand and the insude basically is the same. Any idea where the spring goes in assembly?

[@MrClydieBoy]

My eagle torch is the exact same color and model as yours and it isn't lighting up at all just like yours. I filled it up to the top and it still doesn't work no matter how much I try and I even tried lighting it up with another eagle torch. I will try what you did. Hopefully it works.

This works! It may not always work , in that case use one of the solutions the other comments highlighted

[@moss8448]

flame adjustment is good having issues with the igniter that stopped igniting (no spark) that was the fix I was hoping would be addressed.

[@adamsimms1680]

How long does it last for you after?

[@charliemeen2241]

I live a mile above sea level, and because of the low oxygen and pressure the butane doesnt produce enough vapor to keep the torch lit. One fix is to increase the total amount of ⛽️ over the maximum set by the manufacturer. U can also heat the lighter with a space heater but be careful or youll ruin your lighter and may destroy the fabric of the universe🔥 in the process. Good luck, we're all counting on u.

[@yolosolo3813]

Thank Bro! This really works!

[@markbradfield219]

Worked great, thanks :)

[@Dude90077]

Great to hear!

[@coondogtheman]

I have one like this and the clicker part that generates the spark has broke. It will press and the torch will hiss but it wont click and light but if you use another lighter then it works. I ended up buying a new one at the same store. Not sure what I'll do with the old one.

[@Sakred420]

Same deal wish I could get a tip to get the clicker aligned right or whatever steps necessary to light independently without a jump start off another flame.. it's strange cause if I mess around with the lock slider for a real good while I might be able to get it to spark up on its own so I know it's capable..

[@jeremy88lovingood]

I've got a trick for people to try. Turn your lighter backwards with the torch piece facing to the right. Have the gas all the way up or nearly at the max. An then literally just start walking in one direction (just enough to create a little air passing by) and at the same time start pressing the ignition. Try it a few times and I swear 8 times out of ten 10 it'll work... That is as long as the only problem your torch has, is that the butane won't ignite from the spark. If it has no spark; then obviously it isn't going to work regardless. Torches I thought were done an needed to be trashed have worked after using that odd trick. One more little trick is to leave the torch out in the sun for a little while till the butane inside heats up enough to catch the spark with ease. Good luck with these damned things. Frankly I advise just buying a blue or yellow butane canister and a torch top with an ignition built in. Not very good for public just tho lol

[@huwezzagi]

Used to be able to do the same thing in action to a cricket lighter by lifting up on the adjuster to slide to low and let it down to turn up. Flame would get higher. but I think they done something about it because I haven't been able to do it to the newer ones. My question is does this lighter have a flint and you do you need to change it. And if not how long is it going to last to make it worth buying the fluid to refill it

[@Dude90077]

There's no flint it's a Piezoelectric spark generator which can last for up to 10 years

Hey man, u should do a video on how to disable the safety switch! Thanks!

[@dannymiller7187]

Just open up the lighter and pull the switch itself out. it’s easy. I did it to my torch the other day.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

my neighbor gave me here jet torch lighter because she quit smoking and its a nice piece and all but i find the flame high setting not high enough for my liking, thought about taking it apart to do that trick but i can only find one screw on the top of the lighter head that sit on this elongated metal plate with a hole on the other side which sits over the top the nozzle and cup flame assembly and when i tried slowly prying the plate up after removing the screw it started pulling up the cup and nozzle and i stopped because im worried it would pull it off the gas line and would either never be the same or id have a hard time putting it together in proper working condition, i did not even want to attempt this but wanted to give it a try and see how far i could go in order to reach that adjustment lever ,anyways i pushed it back in and put the screw on , guess ill only try this if it fails me one day and i got nothing to lose trying again

I have this same lighter, but my problem is the thing you push on to light it won't click. Is there a battery compartment or has the white rectangular thing to the right of where you are working come undone in some way? Mine just pushes up and down and nothing happens.

I have the same problem.. I can hold onto the button and still use the torch it just needs a jump start I guess you could say.

Spline…..a rectangular key fitting into grooves in the hub and shaft of a wheel, especially one formed integrally with the shaft which allows movement of the wheel on the shaft. Such as spline gears in a transmission

spline is a term that describes the how the O.D. of one part and he I.D. of and another align and fit. An example of the way the term should be used is," the pinion gear splined well to the output shaft. Spine is not an object, it is a description of how two parts align and fit together
