Hey guys -

I used that trick to increase the butane flow on my lighter, so the flame is a little bigger; popped the metal off, move the switch to +, raise it, and back to -.

However, now it only works with a big flame on the lower (-) setting - whenever I have it set to +, it just sparks. I've tried it with and without the metal piece snapped back on.

Anyone know what I did wrong, and how I can either fix it, or prevent it from happening again next time? It's only a generic, so I'm not too upset, but I use it primarily for pipes, so the bigger flame helps.

Thanks in advance -

Kegan

Lol everyone seems to think I'm gonna hurt myself :D I'll just need to remember to hold it higher when I light. It's still full, so I'm not gonna toss it.

Least my tobacco will get a quick burst of heat, make an even toast of the bowl...

Otherwise...hospital pictures will be forthcoming.
