So my torch lighter no longer sparks when I try to light it. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
So your lighter hisses, but doesn't spark? From what I know, that's an ignition system malfunction. If you have a warranty on it, best to get it replaced.
Oh yaaa! jships post just made me think of something. Try turning your lighter upside down and pulling the ignition. There could be a particle blocking the spark to ignite the fuel.
Okay, first thing I would do is check to make sure there is no blockage between the igniter and the side of the lighter, if thee is something in there the piezo electric won't get a good path for spark, and won't spark, if there is nothing in there I would take a jewellers screwdriver or a ball point pen and push down on the part sticking out that should spark (where the rod sticks out of) sometimes in usage that will slide out and not get good contact. You can usually fix these things by tinkering with it, its a pretty simple system, good luck
Is it the one I traded you? If it is, tap each corner on a flat surface... it gets out of alignment sometimes... I got one after I traded you mine, cuz the one my fiance got me for xmas was crap unfortunately... the Ccom guy (andrew I think) told me to do that and it worked...
Does it still click when you depress the trigger? if yes then the sparker should still be good. hold your find over the burner by the wire and depress the trigger it will give you a small shock just like a static shock nothign heart stopping. if you get a spark then it might be that the wire has lost its proper gap as its just like a spark plug have the wrong gap and you get poor ignition. Hope this helps call me if you need some extra specifics or anything.

Thanks Andrew, it does still click actually just like it always has...just stopped sparking for some reason. I haven't dropped it or anything, just don't know what happened...btw...my buddy's Xikar Trezo lighter also stopped working. This is after we both used our lighters on the 4th to light fireworks. I am thinking our lighters got clogged some how.

Same thing happened to both of my lighters on the 4th. Their performance has degraded significantly, frequently not generating a spark. I blew them out with compressed air, and this helped very little. I'm thinking it's something from the sparks off the fuses. I guess I'll just have to buy some regular Bic lighters for next year's fireworks.

I try to light my torch with a match but the flame won't catch. Is there a certain way you have to do it? I used different lighter and everything it works as long as my lighter stays on it but once I move lighter it stops. Why is DAT? It doesn't stay lit at all I put fluid in and everything. If you could help me out I would appreciate it alot
Wat if it doesn't click at all? I took it apart and DA Lil button you press its like dull it goes down to easy and doesn't get enough friction to spark. Is there easy way to fix it??
