IM Corona issue (help!)

[Prancingponypatron]

I’ve had this old boy style lighter six months maybe. The last week or so, I’ll fill it with butane, and within 15-20 minutes it’s apparently all leaked out somehow?

I did accidentally drop it from about a 2 foot drop in my front porch. No visible damage but must have some sometime.

Anyone know what to do???

A drop will do it but they are repairable. Check out Arango Cigar’s website for the information.

If you bought it new, should be under warranty. Otherwise, send it in for repair. Did you try vacating the chamber of air.

Not sure I know how? Just push the spout where you put the butane in?

should be under warranty for sure. I was hoping there was an easy / common fix. Thanks!

If the fuel tank is cracked it costs as much as the lighter to repair. IIRC the warranty only covers manufacturing defects.

Purge it by depressing the fuel nozzle with a blunt object like a nail head until you no longer hear gas escaping. Refill it and see what happens
