I had this same problem. I removed a small paper filter inside the nozzle assembly....it was pretty dirty. It is really tiny and between two metal screens. I thought about taking pictures of the process a few minutes after I had everything put together.

Process the best I can remember:
1. Unscrew two screws holding top of lighter on.
2. Remove top of lighter and remove small foam filter.
3. On bottom of the top of the lighter (does that make sense?), unscrew center.....if I remember right this is a reverse thread.
4. Inside of there is the small filter I am talking about. Seperate metal screens and remove white paper filter.
5. Put everything back together. There is a small, solid metal piece that goes on top of the filter....towards the flame end.

I'll be happy to do it for you if you want to pay the shipping.
