How to Refill a Butane Lighter
Clean and Refill a Zippo
Part of owning a Zippo lighter is refueling it from time to time. This can be done quickly and safely with a bit of practice. This process is also a good opportunity to clean the lighter, part of ensuring proper function.
As anyone who has ever spilled it on a painted surface certainly knows, lighter fluid is an excellent solvent. The lighter fluid itself can be used to wipe away any carbon or other impurities from the lighter. Simply put a small amount on a cotton swab and clean around the workings of the lighter. For the best results, pull out the flint and clean around the wheel, around the screen and around the wick and lever. In no time, the lighter will be looking like new!
To eliminate any taste, one should either quickly exhale the first few puffs of a cigar or a pipe or not inhale the first drag of a cigarette. Most smokers who use Zippos habitually are familiar with this compromise. The reliability, durability and style of the lighters is oftentimes more than enough to compensate for this minor inconvenience. The higher quality fuels will usually be available at high-end tobacconists and lighter dealers. They cost a bit more than the discount types but offer a superior smoking experience, according to many aficionados. Lighter fluid, of course, must be handled with care.
Some individuals have moved away from liquid-fueled lighters to the high-end butane models. A Lotus lighter is among such lighters and offers a cleaner-burning, hotter flame than does lighter fluid. Still, the trademark click of a Zippo case and the timeless style of these lighters makes them perennial favorites among smokers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
A well cared-for liquid-fueled can easily provide several generations of service. These devices are incredibly simple which is a large part of their long-lasting nature. By keeping them clean and by using high-quality fuel, one can be assured of getting their money's worth. Remember to never substitute any other fuel for the lighter fluid called for by these lighters. This can be dangerous to both the user and the lighter itself and is certainly not safe for smoking purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Lighter Fluid - Refilling with Butane?
Ok. So I'm pretty sure I'm retarded. I've never done this before and for some reason, I can't get it to work.
I have a refillable lighter and some butane in a little bottle. I have wasted 3/4 of this bottle trying to fill the lighter. Do I turn it right-side up, upside down, sideways or what?
It won't fill - all it does is squirt out and entertain my nostrils.
Please help McRetard.
Answer:
make sure its a refillable lighter ( not a bic) and it goes right side up (usually) i had the same prob.....i thought it should go upside down but when i had it right side up it worked. also, some butanes have different tips for different lighters
