Hey everybody, a couple of questions that I’ve not been able to track down answers to. I picked up this Corona table lighter as a gift and a trying to get it working, it’s not currently holding gas. I can hear the full valve leaking when I fill it. I understand this lighter is a Ronson clone - is there any way to tell which version of their full valve it needs? Also anyone know how to disassemble the flame valve? The height adjustment ring seems to be pressure fit so I can’t get to the valve itself.

Thanks!!

My Problem is that my Lighter won't work and I don't know how to repaire it

what I found out is that when i insert gas it will stay in the lighter and that the electricity for the spark works also perfectly fine. So I think that the Problem is that the nozzle isn't working. Does anyone know how to fix it?

It would help me alot thanks

EDIT: I have made an experiment where I filled the Lighter with gas (only a little) and spammed the button after that I pressed the gas insert thing with a toothpick and found out that the gas tank was empty. I think that the gas is actually coming out but the spark isn't enough to light it up. I will put a Video where I show the spark in the comments.

Hey i just bought this lighter on ebay for ~10€ can anyone tell me wich brand it might be so i know what parts i need to buy if something is broken? And how do i clean it properly ?

Vietnamese lighter not working.

Filled with fuel, bled air, adjusted flame level.

Nothing.

Any ideas?

I have this vintage Ronson style lighter I picked up from an antique store and the flint chamber is clogged with old flint but it is also ground down so I was wondering if there is any what I repair it

I’m found this in my father garage, but he don’t remember where him take this lighter. Maybe someone know this lighter?

Hi, the leaf spring has broken on the lid and want to fix. I read the internals need to slide out of the shell but dont know how to separate.

Can someone please advise thankyou 🙏🏻

I bought this Ronson capri at an antique store and when i bought it the mechanism moved too smoothly. Turns out the flint had melted and solidified in the shaft thats fine i drilled it out cleaned it and even cleaned the wheel so the mechanism can grab it better. After everything these are the few sparks I get and this brass washer came out of somewhere idk where ive seen multiple capri videos, online forums, booklets from the 50s on lighter repair and none of them mention this washer so I figured it wasnt necessary but im not sure some help would be very greatly appreciated please and thank you!

I believe these are disposable, but it's a shame to throw it away. I have no clue on how to refill it, and what to refill it with, so any advice would be appreciated

Need some info on repairs for a Nesor 101. Searching online only comes up with a few Ebay listings that don't really help, I think the flint needs to be cleaned or replaced, as well as major leaks so a gasket replacement too, but I have no idea where to start with this thing. Any info on it would help a ton, thanks

Hi folks,

Picked this up from a vintage shop in the hopes of repairing but I have no experience with this sort of thing. I can't figure out why gas isn't releasing as the valve seems to be okay.

Does anyone have any insight on this and what I should be doing next?

The lighter leaked when I tried to refill it. I removed the valve, but I'm not sure what the next steps are. Can I just replace the gasket, do I need to replace the whole valve? If so where can I buy valves? (in or ships to Canada)

Any help is highly appreciated :)

The steel ball is missing from the roulette wheel and the mechanism is not working - I can see it is missing the spring but there may be more to that. Would love to have this repaired but hard to find anyone to do it.

This is my grandma's vintage, crystal, table lighter. I've been using it for a while (not very often, just to light special candles) and it broke. One day, the striker (or whatever the thumb piece is called) kept getting stuck. Then it just popped all the way out. I've included a picture of all the components, hopefully I didn't lose anything important. Please, can someone help me fix this?

The components fit, but won't stay in place. The thumb piece has teeth that I assume fit in the grooves of the thing that sparks. It never stays in place though and always pops back up.

Details in the post, any advice helps. Thanks!

I purchased a vintage Colibri gas lighter, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how to get it working again, so I wanted to ask whether anyone here might know more about it:)

We have already tried filling it with gas, but it doesn’t seem to retain any of it. When the button is pressed, the lighter does open, but all you can hear is the mechanism clicking as it opens. There is no hissing sound or any other indication that gas is escaping.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any information about this exact model online,only about similar lighters that use a completely different mechanism. As far as I know, this is supposed to be an original Colibri gas lighter from the 1950s, decorated with mother of pearl. Does anyone know which model this might be or how it could possibly be restored to working order?

Any information helps! I dont know a lot about lighters:/

My torch has a lazy flame and idk how to fix it. If anyone knows how I'd appreciate it.

Just bought it and found it the plastic was cracked. Is it saveable?

I wanna fix it cuz its merch of an artist I like, i have no idea how it got lile this but It won't push back into place.
