Just a additional suggestion - you are able to countersink that valve - before poking the small hole all the way through - use a larger bit to waddle out a counter sink pocket - clean it out - then poke through - .

[@LowenKM]

Exactly, much tidier looking, and a refill valve scavenged off a dead torch lighter also works well and tucks nicely into the countersink for a more flush fit.

[@fiatia4072]

No

[@rhuckabee44]

Barely. If you’ve ever seen how thick the bottom is it’s not thick at all. You can see the metal ball through both ends.

[@rhuckabee44]

He would have to get a new valve to be flush.

[@davidnichols1568]

Just get a clipper lighter. You can refill them. Also, The flint assembly is removable.

[@rafaeltorre1643]

The flame is different and I love clippers because you can customize them. Use better flints, springs, wheels. And I found a way to get a bigger flame at all times. I love my mini clipper. Its tiny and blue frosted so you can see through it in the light. It works better than the bigger one.

[@theebobbyrio1695]

liked this video very much, i was already trying to do the throw away kind the colores ones sure you know, found a way, ehh took some doing but slowly yes it did, found a better was easy concept to easy, it worked, but i just made a solder gun outta a vape pen, and it turned out pretty good.

[@LANDYV]

I used a thumb tac and rubber piece from the bottom of my toaster worked great no tools needed...

[@RieyoraGosasufre]

Thanks 4 ur help .nice

[@rafaeltorre1643]

Those o rings can be found in any clear disposable Chinese adjustable lighter. Don’t throw it away! Lol

[@mariopuzo4509]

Use a soldering iron and make hole smaller than valve , force it in sort of gently but hard enough not to move and be straight . Heat valve and soften plastic.push in til flush .

[@albertsheakalee4470]

Hello Sir. Where do you purchase these refill valves you put into the lighter thank you so much I would love to start refilling my lighters. hope to hear back thank you.

nice. thanks man.

[@mattcrane6725]

If u mess the rubber o rings up sewing thread works I take them off and soak my thread in apoxie then wrap it around the valve in the groove were the o rings were then push it in and seal it up with apoxie or super glue the bit size I used was a 1/8

[@JPtheGamer650]

*epoxy?

[@mattcrane6725]

Yeah it works great

[@rafaeltorre1643]

Might as well use Teflon tape aka plumbers tape. Easier and just as available within having to buy both. But also the orings are found on any plastic disposable lighter so its cheapest to just buy a 3 pack at family dollar.

good info can anyone tell me where to buy those valves?

[@Blakehx]

Very cool thanks! Where can you buy these valves online?

[@guyverslab9864]

Blakehx never looked for em, but with the right search u sould be able to find em on Amazon or eBay or somewhere easily. but with shipping and such it is probably best to find a place that sells cheap lighters that have the removable refill valves, probably be cheaper haha. idk though.. post ur results if u can

[@dirkdiggler2870]

Ive used these before...as long as the seal is good and tight and secure you'll be glad you spent the $ on the valve. I've used a refillable for almost 2 yrs before it started to leak. Fill valve- www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAJ38XO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GhOtCb7XSJK6F

[@nabbi2010]

Thanks much brother. Is it possible to lower BIC lighter flame or any way to control it? Please reply if anyone know that.

[@LUCKIPUP]

Rafi Ferdous I think you remove the flame shield and twist the nozzle that spits the flame idk if you turn it left or right

[@guyverslab9864]

Rafi Ferdous with the bic there is no way to adjust the flame.. but if u do it with another kind of lighter that already has that option, u should ve good.

[@LeftHandedGamble]

Rafi Ferdous yes put in freezer

@@guyverslab9864 cerca un Bic con regolazione gas anni '80 / 90. Trovo tutto, per un accendino, eccessivo. Con umiltà, ma un Bic lo carico in pochi minuti, o con una forcella all' uscita, o induco una guarnizione sul posteriore.

Twisting the nozzle doesn’t do anything

I have one of those but I been using it for so long that it shoots two flames n always burns my finger n most of the time it shoots super small flame how do you fix that??

[@darkshadowsx5949]

i dont know why would want one of these crappy lighters refillable. but it was interesting to watch.

[@74KU]

Well Bic lighters tend to have flint for days in them.. I have found half inch lengths left in lighters totally empty after daily smoking use. Most refillable here for example are cheap nasty affairs that probably wont see out 2 tanks of butane before they die or... heinously expensive (think Zippo, Douglass etc.) And to be honest, of all the disposables I think Bic lighters are the one lighter that is actually worth making refillable.

[@matthewsalvador9783]

@@74KU thank you for explaining I totally agree

[@74KU]

@@matthewsalvador9783 Cheers man, I am glad there are other people out there reusing these sort of things and not just shelling out for a whole new lighter.. that said I do have a whole rainbow of empty Bics on a shelf.. maybe a job to make them all refillable (well maybe not the "rare" ones)

[@davidray6988]

i honestly refer the clipper lighter they are already refillable and reflintable so i would recomend those or zippos

[@74KU]

I have had those literally fall apart in my pocket on the 2nd tank.

[@rafaeltorre1643]

@@74KU Because you got a fake counterfeit. Its the most counterfeited lighter. Real ones have been tested left out in the woods for months and was perfectly fine. The only thing I don’t like is the flame is wider. Bic’s are thin. But I love my clipper mini. You can customize them with different parts and not callus your thumb. Lights 95% of the time effortlessly the first time. Theres lots of tricks to improve a clipper lighter.

[@esod8285]

It's not that hard to get rid of the remnant plastic pieces, the plastic ball is pretty much the exact size of the drill bit that makes the valve fit and if you chip off the little barrier in tiny pieces with enough shaking you can get it all out. And I would use a better butane, there is sulfur in that shit and if you want the valve that the flame comes out of to last its worth ordering some stuff that's fileted online or they have it at your local cigarette shop.

[@rafaeltorre1643]

If using a BIC its a fixed flame so there’s no sponge or filter so nothing to get clogged. It will degraded before it clogs a hole so will need to be switched out before then. But agree for anything else with an adjustable flame because it will clog it up fast because its filtered to adjust the flame. Which is almost most lighters anyway.

Why don't you push the valve right in flush?

Generally the valves have 2 little o rings on em.. the location of those rings designates how far u need to push the valve in in order to get a proper seal

It's only a 33¢ lighter. What is so special that you have to keep it forever.

$2 up here in Canada.

$2.00 in America I was tired of buying lighters it’s like buying a pack of cigarettes lol lol the irony is a bitch

[@rafaeltorre1643]

33 cents? Yeah right. $2 plus at gas stations and $1 plus in bulk. Straight up over-exaggerating. Not even dollar tree 3 pack China ones are more..45 cents for a cheap crack lighter not a bic.

Ffs it only costs 50p for a lighter, or 20p extra for buying a refillable then disposable. Dont burn your house down

You have missed the point.. it's not about the cost of the lighter.. the lighter that refill valve came out of cost like 8 bucks. It's the fun of the project dude

8 comments and am still too lazy to read them but just incase: if you gonna do a few of these vids then pls consider your more elderly viewers. A close-up or two could be of help to folks like myself who do not see so sharp these days and some clearer audio. Not asking you to film the whole thing through without coughing if you don't want to, son but please would you speak up and a bit more clearly too if you could manage it. You might try recording on a couple of cameras, try out some angles and stuff. A separate microphone, perhaps out of shot but at the level and direction you do most of your talking. Of course, if its the editing you want to avoid and i won’t blame you for that because, boy, do people get carried away then you could probably plug an external mike into one or other of your cameras. Infact, if you plug mikes in both cameras and place them right you probably get away with switching shots and not having to overlay audio afterwards. If you happy with the single viewpoint but wanted some zoom shots and better audio then you could try a remote to operate your camera. Both remote and external microphone bound to Bluetooth to your camera somehow these days if you are worried about wires.

Clipper od better for refilling

[@Ntwadumela1]

CLIPPER lighters are of similar quality an price, they are refillable and other parts are replaceable (flints and flint barrels). I would never buy BIC, they don't care about the environment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_(lighter)

[@rafaeltorre1643]

Thats not how lighters work. It’s always the know it all negative commentors that don’t realize how uneducated they are. Do it right and easier. Plus theres way way better glue then anything you can dream up I use for non gasket things in lighters like actual metal that can take glue. Not a refill valve that will leak or eventually explode. There’s pressure in a lighter. Learn before commenting.

[@drpavlovic1411]

What is the purpose of this? A Bic lighter costs under 1$. Even if you revive it, you need a butane gas bottle, it costs over 10$. Then you must change the filing, it is an additional fuss and cost. Instead of this, buy a NEW BIC! Or buy a cheap gas lighter with the valve and you refill it without any problem. The best are the ones with electronic ignition. They are also more than cheap but they have valves.

[@rafaeltorre1643]

Butane doesn’t cost $10 unless you are buying the most premium.

[@themuckler8176]

Bic used to sell refillable ones. They stopped though
