S.T. Dupont Slim 7 Brushed Copper (Christmas gift from the better half).
My Ligne 1 that I need to send in for service. Does anyone know if ARS & Elegant Lighters will add a pipe nozzle?
Cheers!
Cheers!
They will pit a pipe nozzle on it no problem and service it good as new!
Nice one Grime 
I like Pipe-Flame Nozzles. =D

She's dialed! Quick pic:
Going to take some more pics & then start dailying it, & I still have to install a Pipe-Flame nozzle at some point.

A few more pics of the new daily before I start running it (different camera this time) :
Pipe-Flame nozzle install soon...

Im adding this one to keep my Old Boy company. I got it in today and it took about five minutes to add a pipe nozzel. I like the extra width vs my Old Boy. I love my Old Boy but if I had it my way it would be just a tad wider.
Nice Line1! Great pattern, too. I'm not sure what to call it, I call it the golf-ball pattern.
Thanks, Duponts are so plentiful in France that I saw two at a thrift store a few days ago. Of course they knew the value so they were not bargains. Duponts tend to sell used fir about half the price here vs US. I can buy them all day for 120 or less.
Sadly for now the pipe nozzle is gone. It kept acting funny. I thought the lighter leaked until I put the original back on. Since then it has worked like a charm. Im sick today but when I feel better I will take a micrometer to them both to find the problem. Some ali express purchases are better than others. It seems like the top is too wide on the pipe nozzle so it doesnt go in far enough

I just got this new to me silver/silver hobnail L2 table lighter back from ARS for an overhaul and pipe jet conversion.
How are the jets fitted? Are they threaded or pressed into the lighter? Is there some sort of gasket or O-ring? Thanks
@daveinlax i like that tall lighter, nice. The linge 1 is fine threads. No o ring. It has a camfered edge. Im not sure the asian part is small enough to go through the top layer and grab hold. I haven’t take it apart to study how it goes. I just know it doesnt go in far enough and it leaks. It is completely flawless with the original part. Honestly its not that much easier with the pipe fitting but it is a a little nicer. Time will tell.
That's interesting about the issues that you're having with your Pipe Flame nozzle. I'm trying to remember if I've ever had such an issue, but I don't think so. I did have one where the chamfer of the 'castle' (the main top part of the lighter) seemed to be wider than usual, & the Pipe Flame nozzle sat down a little deeper into it than usual, but it still worked. It would be interesting to see pics & measurements of your nozzle, & I can look at mine to see if they're different.
Does everyone use Dupont's butane refill exclusively or have luck using refills from other manufacturers? Dupont's refills are somewhat pricy so I've been considering using other supposedly premium refills such as Xikar.
I’m using good quality butane but Im not paying eight bucks every time I refill. Maybe If I paid new Dupont prices I would buy their fluid but Im not shelling out a grand on a lighter in this lifetime. I guess time till tell if Im making a mistake.
