I wanna lie to my friends so i can convince them I got a weird rare obscure lighter

Context for you. I found this lighter in the New York markets in April. It was gold colored,curvy and had an almost keychain/finger hole in it. I got it confiscated by the tsa people as it was a jet lighter and since then I have been unable to find anything remotely similar to it. Seller said it was from 1990s/2000s. I drew this picture which really doesn’t give much but a general idea

Hi, I found this lighter at flea market in Portugal, I dropped it and it smashed, there is no brand, can someone help find it online for sale!

I’m new to lighters, I recently purchased this Fumaluxx FL400 lighter and am unsure if the top coil is good as I do not have a battery to test it yet. If it’s broken I was hoping to find a way to fix it unless that’s not possible.

I found this lighter and want to get it working. I know it’s a Flaminaire but nothing more. It seems to be missing the tube connecting the gas valve and the outlet. Any help on repairing it would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Some of my non-table lighters

Hey lads, since i was a kid i was always obsessed with zippo lighters and i recently came across a cool ass looking lighter on pinterest and i really want to make my own version of it, does anyone know exactly what i would need (tools and base) and what i need to do to make the letters like this and this burnt like effect on the casing ?

EDIT: this picture is from pinterest, i DO smoke , wich is why i want to make my own that wont say "i dont smoke"

I just discovered the brand Thorens through facebook, and in each of their videos, they fill the lighters they’re advertising with a little handheld metal squeeze bottle. Tried looking on their site but couldn’t find it for sale. Anyone have any recommendations on a similar refillable “dispenser” for lack of better word?

4 lighters and a new Zorro lighter insert I want to try.

I will put the insert into my 915s.

I got a new Zorro 860s.

2 classic IMCOs they are rusty but I believe all mechanics are there.

I want to restore the IMCOs should I send it to a shop or clean then myself.

Do i need a drill to take out the pins holding the parts together?

Also want to protect it but electric plating I think that should add some protection or maybe some paint not sure?

Any tips on repairing them would be greatly appreciated.

I will show my other lighters later.

$195.25 i paid in total.

So i bought this lighter a while ago from a marketplace and i cant seem to find the manifacturers name or anything letters on it. Ive only found a marking on the inside. Can someone help me identify it?

Sacrilege? I've never seen a design I liked

Was going through my dad’s toolbox looking for some pipe tools, and found this little number.

Not a lighter in practice but works very similar.

My grandfather was a newfie, proud of it, and he used to carry this inside his coat on the old sailboat.

Figured you all would enjoy, very shiny

nice condition. sparks great just needs fuel because I can’t ship it with fuel inside. dm for more info or photos. US shipping only.

I’ve been working on repairing this, it has a new flint in, everything else works, but when I press it down I get no spark, when I move the striker with my finger it sparks, just not by itself, I have given up, please help

hello! i recently got this zaima castaly off marketplace. as someone kinda new to butane lighters (dispos are fine, but im used to smoking with my cheap electric one since i dislike the taste of gas) i was wondering how to best get this up and running? theres some light rusting and the (i assume) flint piece snags on the top since its a little loose, but i was assuming soak piece in rustoleum (rust-ease? i forget what i have in the garage) or wd40, light scrub, wash and dry? i have more expierience with electronic repair than flammable, so i wanted to know how to best tackle this. thank you!

First time poster here. Glad I found this group. I just got my first lighter cases. Looking forward to see if I can make the work. Enjoy the pics,lmk what you think

As the total asks, I am looking for a modern lighter in the style of a K16 squeeze lighter.

If anyone can tell me the name to search for or provide a link I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you in advance.

I got this MINK lighter on Facebook market place for quite cheap (around $10), seller says its 1970's and made in Japan.

This will be my first non-disposable lighter and i just wanted to know if anyone had any information on this lighter.

Specifically, what the red/brown insert is on the top, how to refill and how to put a new flint (or if it even uses flint)

Any and all insight will be appreciated.

Note: I've purchased the lighter but it hasn't arrived yet, so I cant send additional images until it has been delivered

Picked this one up recently from an antique shop. I really like the way it looks.

Hi everyone,

I recently acquired a 1970s Dunhill Rollagas lighter. The lighter is in excellent condition overall, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to fill it with gas properly.

Initially, I thought the problem might be the filling adapter, so I purchased a dedicated brass adapter to ensure a proper fit and avoid damaging the small filling pin on the bottom of the lighter.

However, whenever I try to fill it with butane, gas starts escaping under pressure through a small hole on the underside of the lighter, right next to the filling valve. If I open the lid and tilt the lighter, gas also escapes under pressure through the burner nozzle.

I’m not sure whether I’m doing something wrong or whether the lighter has a faulty valve or another internal issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a vintage Dunhill Rollagas? Is there a particular procedure for filling these lighters, or does this sound like a problem that requires servicing?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
