[QUOTE="spatzkat, post: 137811, member: 1427"] LIPIPE, I think it's related to how often you use the lighter and what kind of flints you use. Some flints are dirtier than others... I generally clean my own lighter about once a month or when I experience vapor lock. Here's my routine: 1. Remove the lighter from the case 2. Dribble a small amount of lighter fluid onto a Q-tip or folded over pipe cleaner, then some on the wick (enough to saturate.) 3.Push the wick to the side and scrub the floor plate of the lighter with the Q-tip/cleaner, esp. around the base of the wick. 4. Take a small screwdriver or knife blade and push the wick back into place. 5. Reassemble and let the lighter sit for a few minutes with the lid open, this way the excess fluid dissipates and does not give off a ball of fire when you light it. 6. Light it. [/QUOTE]
