Introduction

Today a lighter is used more than ever and having the means to replace a part on it can go a long way, especially for your pockets. Clipper lighters have the ability to replace the flint so why not take advantage of this and replace the flint instead of buying a new one each time. Plus it's way more eco-friendly!

This replacement should take no time at all and is something absolutely anyone can do; just be sure to have bought your replacement flint.

    • Use the top of the lighter housing to twist the cap loose.

    • Set aside the lighter once it becomes loose enough to do it by hand.

    You are Man of the Month. You saved me making a complete fool of myself. I was unable, after many attempts, to change the flint and was making a visual record to post on-line saying they were useless flint-wise. Thanks again.

    Worked like a charm thank you!

    J'ai plus de 10 Clippers avec pierres neuves et rempli de gaz mais impossible de les faire fonctionner,ils ne s'allume pas avec une autre flamme ça fonctionne.

    J'appelle cela la malédiction des Clippers car tout mes Clippers me font cela au bout d'un moment alors qu'une autre marque ne me le fait pas, je ne comprends vraiment pas......

I've got the metal Clipper with a cap over the wheel (EU version). Instead of flicking the wheel with your thumb, you press down on the cap/switch. Now my flint's exhausted and I can't figure out how to remove the cap to change it! Does anyone know?

Is it a flint lighter, It sounds like an electric clipper jet lighter. The only flint CLIPPER lighter I know of with a cap over the wheel is the Clipper petrol lighter

I wish I could enter a picture in The comment, however, if you get the small Refillable butane bottle. There are 2 flints in every cap.! The little yellow neon ultra refined refillable universal Butane. Just an FYI!!

Thank you, I really like the design of your flint striker (not sure of right term, hope you know what I mean) plus lighter is easy for me to handle.

Andriene Loso -
