I have one particular PB-207 I've given up on and just last week I placed it back in it's box and threw in the towel.

It ignites, flames nicely for a second or two, sputters, and dies on a consistent basis. I've purged it. I've blown it out with compressed air. I use Vector 5x refined fuel. I've adjusted it every which way. It's been back to the factory during the warranty period, which is now expired. It's just a bad apple.

Luckily my other two PB-207s work fine.

The thing that seems to happen with ALL of my lighters is that the flame will light and sputter out right away. I have done everything and can't seem to figure out why it happens.

A friend of mine met a lady that works for one of the lighter companies. She told him that when filling your lighter you should adjust the flame "all the way up". She said after filling to click it a couple of times and then adjust to your regular setting. She said that when you open it that it let's anything inside the tank go into the valve and then the pressure of lighting wide open will blow it out.

If all else fails just get a Ronson Jet-Lite
