I just bought a Peterson Butane lighter (for $15) photo below (this was the item that was floating between NJ and ME the past few days and it arrived today). It was brand new in box, unused. I filled it up, and it lit right away - no issues except the flame was too low.
So I adjust the flame height and the flame shot up 6" (no exaggeration). I quickly blew it out, but there was butane hissing out at the nozzle (I opened it up too much apparently).
So I adjusted it back down and tried it again - won't light. After numerous tries, I decided to bleed it out and refill (following Bradley's instructions on cooling the lighter and warming the butane as well).
For some reason, this lighter still will not light. The flint is excellent, good spark. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? The lighter itself appears to be of fine quality and it did light before - so I should be able to get it to light again, right?
