Xikar Element / Lights Only On Second Try

[TwiceTheJava]

I recently bought a Xikar Element and I'm having a slight issue with it. It lights on the second time, every time. Never, not once, on the first attempt. Always on the second attempt though, without fail. It's not a huge deal, but I wondered if I'm doing something wrong?

I had this issue, it was because I was pressing the button to quickly. If i slowed down a bit, it works on the 1st time, everytime.

Well this is odd. I tried going slower when pressing the button, and not only did that not work, but when I do that it makes it not always light on the second try.

Try turning down the flame. Sometimes I've found the Xikars are temperamental on full flame.


If not send it in to Xikar.
