The fuel intake valve should be in the center of that wheel. No need to remove the wheel.

I thought so too, but there is a screw there instead of a fill hole
Very odd

This video suggests that you can refill the lighter in the centre of the adjustment wheel.

That's weird, did you buy a new one or a second-hand?

Ok so it looks like a screw but I went ahead and tried to fill , well it worked
But I am telling ya it looks like it would not accept a butane tip .....lol

I am glad that you managed to refill it. I wondered whether someone replaced the butane refill valve with a similar screw or not. Refill valves have a flat head screw like tops, so you can remove them using a flat screwdriver.
