Got ahold of my first Ronson

[Rob.]

I have one, and it just quit on me. No matter what I do I cant get it back the way it was. I purged and refilled, now all I get is a quick flame then just straight butane. Time for a new one I guess.

Yep, had the same thing happen to one of mine.

Sounds like a clog. Spray your butane (or compressed air) down through the burner and I'll bet it will be fine.

good tip sir!!! I just tried that with 2 lighters that have been acting up and they both are working much better.

Bump for the great advice from Greg.

I revived a three year old Ronson that I had given up on. Works like new.

Thanks Greg

Yeah, you can't beat Ronson's for the money. I have a tripple torch that I use to start the foot, but I always use my Ronson's for touch ups.

I'm having the same issue. It's a new one that's acting up too. I tried using compressed air to clear it, but it's still spurting and then the flame goes out.

I only have this issue when I am outside in the cold for an extended period of time. When I bring my lighter back inside (for about 10 mins) it's fine.
