Leave it to the cold, windy and rainy nights of the United Kingdom to be the inspiration for a lighter, but that’s exactly the case with the TORJET from Tor Imports.

This is a flaw I'm sure they know about, but will not fix, because sales are just too good with a slightly flawed product that no one can figure out so they just buy another one. try turning down the gas a bit (sometimes the gas can't ignite because it going too fast for the tiny arc to heat... This always happens if you set the lighter when it's hot because it starts easier but wont once it's cooled down again. If the gas still isn't getting out the nozzle then the nozzle's clogged, symptoms include the lighter bursting into flame for a second during use. take some thin wire or a pin and put it through the nozzle to clear it.As mentioned above, the TORJET is refillable with standard premium butane, and the lighter didn’t seem to have any issues when I switched brands during my testing. To refill the device, simply flip it upside down to reveal the fuel valve on the bottom, purge the remaining air with a draw poker or similar device, and then insert the fuel can’s stem and fill until you see the fluid close to the clear plastic bottom. While this is a common complaint about using torch lighters in the daylight, I found it particularly applicable with the TORJET: the red flame is absolutely invisible when the sun is shining. As such, you do need to watch your fingers and make sure you know that it is indeed burning. Fortunately, those little pieces of metal glow a bright orange when the lighter is producing a flame, so that is a major help in preventing toasting more than just the cigar. I've had the same torch lighter for almost 4 years. It's BAD ASS! I've already replaced the sparker and the hoses once, and I lost all the case screws, so I had to electric tape it together when I had problems with using hoses that were too small (they kept popping off the couplings from the pressure). Anyhow, NOW it leaks from the fill valve somewhere. I don't know if it's the little rubber washer that prevents gas from escaping or not (though I suspect it is), but I took it all apart. I can't do anything to the bottom, as I don't have the tool it would take to remove it from the tank. I DID take apart the TOP though, and after unscrewing and removing the spring-loaded nozzle, the inner piece it screwed on to had the spring and this tiny-ass little pointy guy, that fits both nicely in the spring AND nicely in the nozzle. But it can't go in both. I turned the gosh darn WHOLE THING upside down when I was getting it outta there and didn't realize the spring and pointy guy were in there. I even dropped the spring and spent a considerable amount of time looking for it. My wife was the one to find it, actually NOT on the floor, but on the bed, where I was sitting and working on this thing. If there's no gas coming out at the nozzle but it's going somewhere then the connection has been broken probably nothing more than the flexible gas line has slipped off the seat of the reservoir end (there's more room here so it fall off that end but it's easy to fix anyway)
