How To Refill a BIC Lighter - 2024

[@ramonsapien7768]

Hey Hacktuber, There is more than one way to skin a cat. That pin you installed after refilling the lighter will not seal. It will leak over time. I have a better way that does not require poking a hole in it. !) Heat the lighter ( in the sun, in an oven or a hair dryer). This will increase the pressure inside the lighter. Press the on tab to release the pressurized air/gas. 2) Place the lighter in the freezer for a few minutes. This will lower the temperature and pressure inside the lighter. The colder the better. Frozen is best. 3) Place the nozzle of butane (pointing down) on the nozzle of the lighter (pointing up). The lighter resting on a table or other secure surface. May have to use supplied adapter. 4) Simultaneously, press the on tab of the lighter (to open valve) and press downward on butane can to dispense butane. Hold in position (a few seconds) until lighter is refilled. Good Luck and Happy Holidays, Ray

[@geminisabah]

Or just use the part the butane comes out of on the actual lighter. Use that as the refill hole. 😊❤

[@ramonsapien7768]

@@geminisabah Yes, Gemini the same spout that the butane comes out of is what you use to refill it. If you skip steps 1-3 you may get a little butane in it. Until the pressure in the lighter equals the pressure in the refill can. At atmospheric pressure and temperature most of the butane will absorb enough heat to flash (evaporate) into gas. By removing the pressure and temperature you will get more liquid butane in the lighter. Until the pressures in the lighter and refill can equalize. Have fun and good luck. Safety first always. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Ray

Not only is this saving money on buying a new one but this is a new form of ' Recycling ', I plan to use this soon, TY for the tip.

[@CreatorTips.007]

This is such a practical and well-explained guide! I never knew refilling a BIC lighter could be so simple and effective. Thank you for sharing this amazing tip-it’s going to save so much money and reduce waste. Great job!

[@Hacktuber]

You're very welcome!

[@AdeezyAirlines420]

The people saying it’s pointless obviously doesn’t own any cool custom BICs💯🤣🤣🤷🏾‍♂️people are trying to hold on to special pieces here so this video is actually helpful

[@Hacktuber]

Thx for support and I am glad that you like👍

[@ZoroCoils]

NOTE: If you can't afford a refillable butane lighter, than you're probably doing something wrong in life.

[@JamesJames-r8t]

What if i'm just curious and wanna do this😢

[@JamesJames-r8t]

The Mechanics are fun

[@JamesJames-r8t]

I didn't know those lighters had those bbs in them.They're fun to pop out❤

[@Freybergers]

Both awesome and scary at the same time. PERFECT

[@Hacktuber]

Its little scary and unsafe,but I wanted just to show the way😔

[@MakeItHappen223]

That filled it that quick? U don’t supposed to hold for a certain time?

[@420addicted6]

love the vid bro iv been saving big lighters for a decade to refill my zippo for the spark but now i can actualy just fill them up and use a ton of old lighters

[@Hacktuber]

Glad I could help

[@kzarnold3678]

Thank for the refresher it's been a few years that I needed a lighter and didn't want to leave the house and also have everything needed to get the job done 👍

[@TheChrisLeone]

The real trick is to add a homemade flint wheel and button on the butane can itself

[@HonoringGeneralG.S.PattonJr]

Does the tack stay in place, say, if it's in your pack or pocket? Probably not so much I'd think.

[@moyacrx]

Una gota de loctite y solucionado el problema

[@kzarnold3678]

One drop of super glue or trim the thumb tack so it doesn't catch on something and put a little bit of electrical tape over it for insurance or who cares cause you know that some one will end up putting it in their pocket and you will never see that lighter again

[@JayBallard-f6v]

Thats cool but what happens when the lighter has to much pressure will the tac shoot out

[@Hacktuber]

For safety do not fill up the lighter max

[@chrishorst1318]

I always noticed that circle on bottom same as the refill port on reusable lighters, but sealed over. Idk why it took me this long to investigate, but thanks for providing the explanation. I swear every reusable lighter I ever owned is stolen from me, which speaks measures about the petty, thieving, nature, of ppl whom always surround me. I'll never buy a reusable lighter again thanks. You got my like n shares.

[@Hacktuber]

Thx men for feedback,I am sorry that your lighters are stolen😁

[@projectJ30]

Don't automatically assume people are consciously trying to steal your lighter. I've innocently ended up with friends lighters in my pocket and vice versa. It ends with a "hey do you have my lighter" and the rightful owner gets it back.

[@lenav-xy7qy]

I did this cause my lighter just went out and i did this now i can use my lighter instead of the stove or going to the store

[@22stargirl]

"Working like a charm!" I love this guy!

[@Hacktuber]

Thank you man

[@6AxisSage]

Cheers! I knew youtube would come through for me 😊 big grin on my face every time im using this lighter now hahaha

[@leoguimaraes8228]

my thanks from Brazil! You are a genious

[@Hacktuber]

You're welcome!

[@Iammrhabib]

Did you know you can just go straight into the outlet that holds the flame? The ball end will vent. And one must realize this is not a one way valve system

[@ahmedmahdy3777]

Did you know in Egypt we do this way since 2004

[@fruiticise9296]

Thank you for this video! I always feel bad throwing the lighters away when they're empty, especially if they have a cool design. Good to know they aren't done for!

[@Hacktuber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@911axe]

As a young fellow many years ago, rather than seeing the other still working parks go to total waste, there's a little lighter hack that is a great stand in for a mini firework. Need to carefully remove the wheel, all while not loosing the spring loaded flint which will want to fly away at random directions. Usually those brand still have 3/4 of the original flint not used. I guess unless someone is attempting to light something in windy conditions all the time. But yeah, take the piece of flint and the little spring, stretch the spring out some. Then, wedge the flint into the end so it's held in place. Use your new working lighter to heat the flint red hot, then quickly throw it against an hard surface such as a curb or rock. The glowing flint sparks apart in all directions surly surprising those around who have never seen it done. It goes without saying, only done by adults, and using an elevated caution mentality.

[@philldownes8685]

Oh and dont forget to mention the gas does come out where the pin is and you can get it burst into flames.

[@Hacktuber]

Its risky please dont try it

[@LuluGauna-d1b]

How do you take the flint out of bic lighters

[@Tex_Prepper]

It’s not hard to. Just try it.

[@mumblez22]

Pull the metal guard off the top. Pop the wheel out and under is a spring with a flint. Block it with your hand so the flint doesn't go flying. There is always a big piece of flint leftover unlike the cheap see thru lighters that always have a tiny shaving of flint left. I pull them out and keep them for my Zippo lighter

[@Adub408-h2o]

Unfortunately, this temporary innovation only works for like 2 or 3 refills. Maybe 4 if your kucky. Then the flame gets smaller and smaller until it doesn't spark anymore. But it's worth it. I still recommend it if you're broke and if you can find butane for 2 or 3 bucks.

[@mikeyb537]

Does this with smoke buddy..." Nothing to worry just some gas escaping" Flicks big towards bong bowl… "Rickey Bobby spawns in and starts screaming”’

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

Pretty cool hack! Thank you

[@Hacktuber]

I fill my lighters for years,I never buy new one

[@AaronPWeiss]

Big lighters are almost $3 in the us.

[@Hacktuber]

This way you will save some little money and learn new hack😄

[@SanuManna-w4y]

Clipper lighter is best

[@HankMcCoy83]

Real talk

[@fakhrulnizam4743]

Seriously? In my country just only $0.30

[@butchvito]

Buying a single Bic lighter from the gas station is outrageous. I buy them in the 5 or 6 pack at Walmart. It comes out to about $1 per lighter.

[@DiegoLopez_3]

I still have special bics that aint been able to use in years. Didnt knownwhy i kept them until now

[@Hacktuber]

Good now you can re use them

[@istemihanvarisli]

Dear Friend, thank you for the video :) Non-filling lighter probleem in our house is solved now. Thanks to you :)

[@Hacktuber]

No problem,I always refill my lighters,save some money🙂

[@MiamiMillionaire]

I've done this before, unfortunately the Gas sometimes still escapes after some time. What helps is if you dip the pin 📌 in superglue before pushing it in 😁

[@Hacktuber]

Super glue will help after you place the pin,to secure that gas will not escape

[@МальчикБоббиКЛД]

Газ который в зажигалки разъест суперклей 👎

[@Merrulas]

@@Hacktuberbut if you use super glue, how are you supposed to refill the lighter a couples times by removing the pin?

[@Zoerixx]

Cyoacrylics or jb weld. It's a one time refill

[@Merrulas]

@@Zoerixx oh

[@salah458]

Hi, my bic lighter doesn’t have the tiny metal ball inside, I grabbed another empty one just to be sure : they both have the same kind of valve as shown in the video but on the inside it looks just like plastic with no metall ball whatsoever, so are my bic lighters un-refillable ?

[@Hacktuber]

Try to make tiny hole with some tool and try it does it work

[@winnon992]

They make very small drill bits but you’ll have to go slow or you’ll break them

[@deborahpadgett2417]

Wouldn't it be easier to unscrew it, fill it and then screw it back in? It looks to me that it would work. I'll have to try it. ❤❤❤

[@dabomb7105]

I was bored and this works I used a dead mini bic and got it working again 😊

[@Hacktuber]

Good for you! 😊

[@Icantevenstandit]

It's great for an emergency..thank you

[@garryhegarty8889]

Lately, in Australia, the bic run out so quickly compared to 2 years ago,.., thanks.

[@Hacktuber]

They cant change the price but they can fill it up with less gas😄

[@awparrish]

Very cool trick. I still prefer Zippo, however. Personal preference

[@gunnarallgottsmann]

Brother, I just checked my empty Bic lighters, unfortunately, there’s no ball anymore, it’s just fused together. Though , I live in Europe, seems to be different from your country. Have a wonderful, happy and productive time 💯👌 🤗😉 ❤️✔️ ✌️😊 🕊️🍀❣️

[@MaraDaCoriovallum]

Many times i refilled this typ of lighters from above....you have to hold the nossle open with a mini pliers or something like that an than refilll it....goes very easy when you know how....

[@Hacktuber]

After doing this couple of times you will learn to do it much faster🙂

[@RodrigoFerreira-uy]

That’s nice! But it’s better buy a clipper an you can refill and change the flint.

[@Hacktuber]

I just show what you can do with those empty lighter,less waste for planet

[@Clarence_13x]

I’ve learned that it’s better to put the lighter in the freezer for an hour before, then you fill it twice to let the gas push out any oxygen and stop boiling. Then you cover the hole with a 3/4” long penny nail.

[@Catjegirl100]

what do you mean excactly by 'filling twice?'

[@Hacktuber]

Nice idea,for sure I will try that,thx

[@Absquatula]

I'll just stick to Clipper... - Is metal - Can be refilled easily (and was designed that way) - Grinder is replaceable

[@odinson7429]

Or, just buy a $10 refillable lighter and use the can to refill like normal. Tell Bic to "stick it" and don't support them if they want to be so refill unfriendly.

[@AlexELDERY]

Eso funciona, en mi vida de drogadicto todo el tiempo lo hacía, solo hay que esperar 3 minutos antes de usarlo.

[@manuelferreira4345]

I did a short video on this 2yrs ago it was flagged and taken down

Use clipper

[@stevenmartens8298]

Y would i get such a pos light, wen for 10 more dollars, i get a 4 jet lightet, that re fills, dont have to change a flint, and lasts way longer then a clipper, i have both, so would love to hear your up side of clipper vrs bettet.. and go
