…:::★☆★ Hi all! ★☆★:::…
I have an old gas stove in my country house, which is not equipped with an electric ignition function. A year ago I bought myself a very comfortable gas lighter with piezoelectric element POLARIS PGL 4001. Since then, gas has become easy to ignite and simple.
The only problem is that the gas in this lighter sometimes runs out. But since it has a refueling function, this problem is easily solved with the help of GAS FOR REFUELING LIGHTERS "OUR GAS"
Where could I buy?for example, in Auchan and Atak hypermarkets
Price: 75 rubles
Volume: 270 cubic centimeters
Producing country:Russia
Best before date:36 months
● Package
Yellow metal bottle with a red cap. For some reason, my female brain immediately gave out an association with hairspray. But the inscription "GAS" indicates that hairspray has nothing to do with it.
Remove the cover and see the nozzle.
Under the cover, I also found a set of five additional adapters. However, I didn't need them in the end. But if necessary, the desired adapter is broken out and put on the fitting when refueling.
● Compound
Propane/butane/isobutane blend
● Mode of application
Use the cylinder in accordance with the operating instructions for gas lighters at temperatures from 10 degrees Celsius to plus 40 degrees Celsius. Remove the cap from the can before charging the lighter. Turn the can upside down and insert the nozzle into the opening of the lighter. Fill the lighter several times by pressing the bottle down. If there is a gas leak, this means that the lighter is filled or the nozzle is not firmly inserted into the lighter hole.
In principle, in a review of my lighter, I wrote that it is not at all difficult to refuel it. You just need to clearly follow the uncomplicated instructions written on the gas cylinder and everything will work out perfectly.
So, the gas is almost over.
I take a gas cartridge, shake it several times, turn it upside down, and insert it into the hole that is located at the bottom of the lighter.
Everything looks like this (there is something intimate in this process)
My lighter has a plastic case, which is very convenient when refueling, because you can see how much gas is already inside.
I don't even know how many times this lighter is enough to fill this lighter ... The canister says 270 cubic centimeters of gas. I don’t know exactly how much gas is required in order to refuel this lighter (well, this information was not written anywhere on it)
But if roughly, offhand, visually and with a huge margin, then this will definitely require no more than 10 cubic centimeters. In short, at least 25 refuelings of this can will be enough for sure.
I’m not a very good mathematician, to be honest, but I just approximately tried to convey to you the idea that such a lighter is quite cost-effective, and most importantly, a very convenient purchase for those whose gas stoves are not equipped with an electric ignition function.

This cartridge and my gas lighter with a piezoelectric element POLARIS PGL 4001 are simply made for each other, because the lighter's hole fits perfectly into the nozzle of this cartridge. This is how they love And they didn’t need any additional adapters that came with the can at all.
And one more thing ... Gas for lighters must be clean and not contain any impurities and non-combustible particles. If this condition is not met, the lighter may simply stop working. So, I have already filled my lighter with this gas several times, and it works great.
In general, I put five on GAS FOR REFUELING LIGHTERS "Our Gas".

Gone are the days of disposable lighters for a couple of rubles. Now gas lighters with the possibility of secondary refueling have become in demand. Prices for excellent models of lighters range from several tens of bucks, so it has become unprofitable to continuously purchase such luxury items.
You will need
- Triple purge butane gas and lighter.
Instruction
1. Like any luxury item, lighters require special attention to themselves. They need to be kept in excellent conditions. The main factor in buying a lighter is to maintain the fire, the likelihood of setting fire to the desired item. Cigarettes, cigarettes and cigarillos are the main purpose of using gas lighters. The core snag is gas filling. Because when refueling, you need to learn a few main nuances: a gas lighter will not work well if oxygen is not released before refueling, the one that accumulates inside the lighter.
2. It is necessary to use the lighter to the end, i.e. wait for the gas in the lighter to finally run out. After that, you should close the lighter and adjust the gas supply valve, the one that needs to be set to the minimum. Then use a pen or other sharp object to push or move the gas filling valve. This will ensure that there is no excess gas in the lighter. Now try to carefully remove the fire from the lighter. This will get rid of excess air in the lighter. Start filling up.
3. Refuel your lighter with triple-purified butane gas. Why triple cleansing? Everything is very easy. Three degrees of cleaning are a guarantee of the slightest contamination of the lighter during operation with this gas. Insert a gas bottle with a nozzle into the valve to refuel the lighter. You will hear a classic hissing sound. As soon as the lighter is filled with compressed gas, the cylinder should be disconnected from the lighter valve. If you have never done this, then you will still feel that the gas does not go much larger. Some models of cylinders work according to the thesis of metered filling, i.e. you will make several refueling sessions. This is an economical indicator of the cylinder in price.
In order to correctly charge the lighter with gas, several general recommendations should be followed.
To fill the lighter, you must first ventilate the room well. If refueling is done outdoors, then the temperature must be at least 18 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to exclude any presence near permissible sources of ignition - an open flame, sparkling wiring of electrical equipment, etc. You should refuel the lighter, observing all safety measures: keep your eyes from accidental contact with gas, do not inhale gas - irritation or poisoning is acceptable.
In order to fill the lighter with gasoline correctly, you must follow these recommendations:

If the flame of your favorite gas lighter has ceased to shine joyfully in the night and you have nothing to light a cigarette with, it means that it has run out of fuel, that is, gas.
You will need
- A lighter, a can of gas for lighters, a little ingenuity
Instruction
1. If the design of your gas lighter provides for its refueling, then you should look into a specialized store or kiosk, taking a lighter with you. When choosing a can, it’s cooler to pay attention to special cans equipped with a cap, under which there should be a set of nozzles, for various types of lighter valves. Up to 10 nozzles can be placed under the cap, which guarantees you a good refill. After looking at the nozzles and comparing them with the design of the lighter valve, you will realize which one is right for you.
2. It turns out, preferring a suitable nozzle, it must be broken off from the bottom of the cap, then put on the valve of the can. Clear the lighter's transfer valve of any obstructions (the easiest way to do this is with a clean ear stick). After that, inserting the nozzle into the lighter transition valve, press the can with force. If a gas leak occurs, check that the nozzle and the lighter valve match. If so, replace the nozzle. If it matches, try again.
3. How to determine if the lighter is charging? It should become cold, icy, because. liquefied gas under pressure reacts with the environment and cools objects. If the lighter is transparent, you will be able to visually verify that it is full. If not, then 20-30 seconds of downloading is enough for a full charge.
Note!
When refueling a lighter, only a special can of gas should be used.
Useful advice
Starting to refuel the lighter, follow the fire safety rules! In no case do not smoke, do not be near open flames, remove children and animals! Remember: gas is a flammable substance, and a careless attitude to it can lead to tragic results.
There are several methods for making lighters from cartridge cases which we will share with you today. It would seem, why, if different lighters are sold around? The fact is that it may not always be at hand. But the skills of making a homemade lighter never hurt. Following our instructions, you will be able to boast of an independently manufactured lighter.
Instruction
1. Method 1st. Prepare a sleeve, a new zippa (or find an old one), a torch and copper-silver solder. Gut the flint out of the zippa and take out the disk from there, the one that strikes at it. Next, take out the entire contents of the zippa: disk fasteners, filter and packing. Assemble and solder all contents. Remove all roughness with a file, giving the correct shape. Hammer the soldered contents of the zippa into the sleeve, insert the wick and pour gasoline on top. The lighter is ready.
2. Method 2. Prepare a tight metal tube. Make a hole in it for the wheel. Place a special flint for a lighter with a spring in the hole for the wheel. The flint should be with a small rubber band. Make a cap with a wick out of strong metal or alloy. Assemble the entire structure. Take an empty case. Solder the prepared metal tube to the sleeve. Fill with gasoline. The lighter is ready.
3. Method 3. Prepare the sleeve and cotton cord. Cut off a small piece of cotton cord and lower it into the sleeve, moistening it in gasoline in advance in order to protect it from moisture. Leave the outer end of the wick peeking out to ensure interaction with the flint. Make flint from a file. To do this, solder a small piece of a file, about 5 cm in size, to the sleeve. Pour gasoline into the sleeve. The lighter is ready.

Quite often there is a need to have on hand lighter. For such purposes, it is comfortable to hold lighter that runs on gasoline: they give a good flame, are comfortable to use and store, and do not go out in the wind. However, over time, the question arises of how to fill such lighter. A few useful recommendations will help to understand this matter and fill it correctly lighter gasoline .
Instruction
1. Gasoline-powered lighters consist of a container of gasoline containing a wick impregnated with gasoline. The flame is produced by the friction of the cogwheel against the flint. Petrol lighters are durable and true. In expensive models, the volatility of gasoline is minimized, as evidenced by the absence of the smell of gasoline during application. However, let's move on to the issue of refueling.
2. Before each one, it is necessary to work out each gasoline, the one that is already in the lighter. Next, remove the insert from the body of the lighter, lift the felt pad on the bottom of the insert. It is desirable to carry out all work in rubber gloves, only if you refuel lighter gasoline for the 1st time. This method allows you to protect your hands from accidental spilling of gasoline.
3. Now slowly impregnate the insert material gasoline without overflow. Insert the fuel chamber back into the lighter body.
4. Make sure not a drop of gasoline has been spilled. Thoroughly dry the body of the lighter and hands before use. Fuel is explosive!
5. Later the first refueling wear lighter cap up in a vertical position. Fill your lighter with an extraordinarily special gasoline for lighters. Remember that inhaling motor gasoline vapors can be unsafe for health.
Note!
Refuel in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and avoid spilling gasoline.
The first gas lighter originated in Paris in 1947. An ordinary wick was replaced with a non-standard valve, gasoline - with gas. Cigar lovers rejoiced at this innovation, ceasing to feel the pungent smell of gasoline. Reusable gas lighters are excellent as a gift option, and are also comfortable to use, but they have some refueling features.
You will need
- gas cartridge for refueling lighters, adapters.
Instruction
1. In order to fill a reusable lighter with gas, you should first take care of the safety of this event. Make sure there are no open flames nearby, say on a gas stove; there are no hot objects, such as heaters with an incandescent filament, an electric stove turned on. Do not smoke at this time and do not refill the lighter near other people who are currently smoking.
2. A good refueling method is the following: when the lighter has stopped producing a flame at all, open the outlet valve to the maximum, hold it pressed for 3-5 minutes, simultaneously pressing the inlet valve with the writing end of a ballpoint pen. The rest of the gas would have come out before, but not completely - heating the lighter in the hand gives the best result. Close the inlet valve again as far as possible and leave the lighter to cool for 10-15 minutes.
3. While the lighter cools down to room temperature, hold the gas cartridge in your hands for the same purpose. Usually, a set of six adapters is sold complete with a cylinder, one of which is selected experimentally for the lighter valve: it fits tightly into the valve receiver and does not let gas out. Attach a suitable adapter to the can nozzle and shake vigorously several times.
4. Take the lighter up with the inlet valve; check if the gas supply button is pressed; if there is no cap, insert the can adapter from above into the refill slot. In 10-15 seconds, press with your upper hand two or three times without pulling the adapter out of the valve to the end. Repeat this operation a few more times.
5. After that, leave the lighter for a few minutes until the gas in it heats up. Later, open the gas supply stronger, light the fire for a few seconds (be careful - the flame will turn out to be high) - this action will blow the nozzle from soot. Reduce the gas supply to no longer harmful. Now the lighter is allowed to use.
A pen Parker - a unique thing. When George Parker conceived his creation, he decided: "Make it cooler than others." And he managed to realize his plan: he made a thing that became a sign of a special culture, high genre and luxurious taste. Pen holders Parker- people who have achieved a life furor. Intentionally for such a unique pen, unique ink was made, with which it is allowed to refill the pen in order to use it again and again.
Instruction
1. fountain pens Parker have a reversible refill system with bubble ink or capsule Parker. PARKER QUINK capsules have an additional ink reserve or are equipped with a reserve tank. After approximately complete emptying of the capsule, click on the end of the capsule. This will release the spare ink.
2. The number contained in the reserve capacity will be enough for a page of an ordinary letter. This indicator, of course, varies depending on the scope of the handwriting and the width of the pen. The number of ink in one capsule is enough to draw a line of 800 m. In fountain pens Parker use only PARKER capsules, because the worst quality ink can ruin the pen.
3. To refill the pen with a capsule, remove the cap. Unscrew the sleeve from the top of the housing. Remove the filler with an empty capsule. Insert a new capsule wide end first. Gently but fairly firmly push the capsule in with your hand. When you feel that it is pierced and, let's say, you hear a classic sound, stop pushing. Now screw the sleeve back.
4. For refilling a pen from a bubble, two filler options are used: a typical piston and rotary in an exclusive design. In order to fill the handle with the help of a rotary filler, you need to unscrew the sleeve. To create a vacuum, squeeze the air out of the ink tank by turning the piston downwards.
5. Dip the pen into the bubble. Make sure that it is completely immersed in ink and that air does not get there. In no case do not lower the filler into the ink, only the pen. Screw the piston back up to the limit. Remove the pen from the vial, and turning the plunger, drip three drops of ink. Re-wrap the piston to the limit. This is required so that a little air is drawn into the tank, which will prevent leakage. Clean the pen.
6. To fill the handle with the support of a piston slide filler, push the lever located on the side. This is how you move the piston. Immerse the pen completely into the vial. In order to make a vacuum, press the lever downwards, and to suck ink - upwards. After that, remove the pen from the ink. After releasing three drops, raise the lever all the way. Clean the pen.
In most cases, when a gas bottle runs out of gas, it is easier to purchase a gas bottle than to try to refill it. However, as usual, people want to save money and find a way to fill a gas tank in order to avoid buying. In fact, it is not so difficult to do this. Easily follow certain instructions and observe safety measures.
Instruction
1. It turns out, take an ordinary household gas cylinder with a valve (from 5 to 300 liters). Install it upside down in order to ensure that liquid gas flows out. To do this, you can make a special stand or hang it on a rope. You can also primitively put it in a huge dilapidated chair. There are a lot of options, the main thing is that the position of the balloon is stable and correct.
2. Next, assemble the filling system, which consists of 2 hoses, an adapter, a tap and a threaded head. It is better to take a tap, hoses, adapter and cuffs from gas equipment, preferably for liquid nitrogen. This will ensure the longevity of the system. If you take ordinary water taps and pipes, the system will quickly break down. Assemble everything and fasten tightly with couplings. Do not use a reducer, it will only slow down the refueling process.
3. Screw the adapter onto the thread of the gas bottle. You will need a tap to regulate the gas supply. Be careful not to use the cylinder valve, because it will quickly fail. Take a head for a gas thread from a dilapidated cutter or burner. In the case of the cutter, everything is more closely ready for attachment to the hose, and with the burner, it will take longer to tinker with the fact that its diameter is unsatisfactorily huge for the hose. Make the collet cooler metal, do not use plastic. If you do it tightly and understand all the details, creating a gas filling system will not take you more than one day.
4. Now proceed at ease to refueling. The gas flows relatively slowly, so it will take from 3 to fifteen minutes to fill one cylinder, depending on the assembled system and the volume of the cylinder. On any cylinder, the weight of the gas is indicated; therefore, it is possible to control the filling with the help of scales. Or by eye: after filling half of the balloon, bleed off the gas and fill the balloon to the top.
5. If refueling is carried out neatly and in accordance with each rule, then it is allowed to refuel the cylinder from 3 to 10 times. The main thing to remember is that if there is any external damage on the cylinder, it's better not to risk it and get a new one.

Useful advice
What kind of gas to fill dupont lighters To fill a dupont lighter, you must use genuine s t dupont gas in order to avoid drying out of the rubber gaskets inside the dupont lighter, which can cause the lighter to start leaking gas. Gas for dupont lighters has as many as 4 varieties.
Disposable gas lighters are as simple as possible to use, because after the gas runs out, the product can simply be thrown into the trash. But gasoline appliances are designed for reusable use, so they are easy to refuel. Many people prefer gasoline igniters because of the good flame and ease of operation.
To refuel the device, you need to know about the features of its design. The wick that "gives out" the flame is inside the device.
The spark is generated by the friction of the wheel on the flint. More expensive models that are refueled with original branded gasoline do not emit an unpleasant odor during use, because the fuel liquid can be cleaned several times beforehand. Yes, and the evaporation of fuel in this case is minimized.

The process of refueling a gasoline lighter
Before you start refueling, you need to make sure that the igniter is completely empty and does not contain fuel residues. You should first take care of safety precautions so that accidentally spilled gasoline does not provoke arbitrary ignition and does not lead to burns. Refuel the lighter away from open sources of fire (fireplaces, burning gas burners, a fire), avoiding contact with flammable liquid on the skin and household items.

If the flame does not appear, then it is worth checking the rest of the product for serviceability. Perhaps the wick needs to be replaced, or the flint is worn out, or maybe the gear wheel is out of order. All these cases are fixable, so buy spare parts and feel free to return your lighter to working capacity on your own.
A few good tips:
If you are just deciding which gasoline lighter to give preference to, then choose branded products, preferably with a lifetime warranty. In this case, in the event of a malfunction, you can send the igniter back to the manufacturer and get back the already repaired product without paying a penny. When choosing a seller of branded lighters, contact only official distributors so as not to accidentally buy a low-quality fake.
Zippo knows that it is necessary to refuel any of the models that run on this fuel only with high-quality fuel. We recommend using branded purified butane for this purpose, manufactured by the brand specifically for its accessories. You can also use liquefied gas from a subsidiary of the company, it is produced under the Ronson brand and is in no way inferior in quality to the original.
You can choose fuel for a gas lighter in specialized authorized brand stores in your city or on the websites of its official dealers, like us.
If necessary, consult with the seller which fuel format will suit your Zippo model.

Turn the product over with the filling valve up.
Insert the bottle of fuel into the lighter reservoir valve, lock tightly.
Click on the fuel container several times so that the gas fills the tank. Depending on the volume of the “tank” and the type of cylinder, 10 to 30 seconds of pumping is enough to reach full condition.
Flip the lighter back to its original position.
Important: do not use the accessory immediately after refueling with gas - let it stand for a few minutes. This respite is needed for safety reasons - the fuel must stabilize.
When filling the lighter with liquefied gas, its temperature drops, you will feel it. Case cooling is a sure sign that you are doing everything right and the gas is filling the product.

Precautionary measures
Gas is an explosive and flammable substance, do not forget about it. To prevent a routine procedure from turning into incidents, follow simple rules:
Carry out manipulations in a ventilated area, away from sources of fire and heat, preferably in a place inaccessible to small children and nosy animals.
Do not smoke or work with fire while refueling the lighter.
Make sure there is no fuel leakage. If this happens, do not touch it - the gas is liquefied and very cold in contact with air, can damage the skin.
A freshly filled lighter does not burn - why?
If the Zippo gas lighter does not fire immediately after refueling, the cause may be a vapor lock due to air accumulated in the "tank". This happens if the product is not turned upside down before inserting the fuel canister. If you forgot to do this, and this trouble has touched you, turn the lighter over and bleed off excess air by simply pressing the valve with a toothpick or a thin screwdriver. Follow all of the above precautions during the process.
When the job is done, refill the accessory.
Gas lighters by design are divided into flint and piezo lighters.
In flint lighters made of plastic, gas enters when the lever under the wheel is pressed, and in metal lighters, when the lid is opened.
Piezo lighters, in turn, are divided into conventional and turbo. In conventional piezo lighters, fire is ignited with an electric charge. The difference from the usual ones is that the gas is supplied to them under pressure - and the fire does not go out from the wind.
Most often, lighters contain high-purity liquefied butane, a mixture of liquefied butane and propane, which is much cheaper, or isobutane.
Pure propane was only used in old style lighters. It was abandoned because this gas is explosive. The boiling point of propane occurs at -20 degrees Celsius, which can lead to an explosion. The boiling point of butane is +10. Butane lighters can only be used when exposed to direct sunlight.
It should be noted that lighters produced in the CIS are designed for a mixture of propane and butane. They can work even on a mixture of low purity. Imported lighters can only run on butane or triple isobutane. Basically, these are expensive and popular models of lighters that low-quality gas can simply ruin. Some branded lighters only work on liquefied isobutane.
A propane-butane mixture has a higher pressure than pure butane and a lower degree of purification. This mixture is not suitable for piezo lighters.
Until recently, lighters were produced in cheap disposable versions. Now these types of lighters are very rare. Mostly reusable flint or piezo type lighters are produced.
What to fill the lighter?
Refilling the lighter is relevant only if it is an expensive model. The cost of a gas cartridge is much higher than the cost of a conventional reusable lighter.
To make a lighter, you need to purchase a can of liquefied butane or triple-purified isobutane.
How to refuel a lighter?
1. Turn the lighter upside down with the filling valve. Most models have it on the bottom.
2. Insert the cartridge stem into the valve, press and hold for 10 seconds. In this case, the can should be upside down. When properly filled, gas should not escape.
3. After refueling, you must wait a few seconds.
4. To get rid of excess air, you need to set the combustion level valve to a minimum. This valve on most lighters is located next to the refueling valve. In this case, the lighter may not catch fire, as the air accumulated in it will first come out.
5. Adjust the burning level. At this stage, a large flame is possible, which will burn out the accumulated dirt.
A can of gas is usually enough for up to 30 refills, but this depends on the volume of the can itself and the volume of the lighter.
