I thought the exact same thing lol 😂

Eight and half years later and this video is still saving peoples sanity..thank you for taking the time to make it. I had no idea it was me, I have been thinking it's been a flint problem and chucked so many refilled Barbeque lighters away over the years😥😇

Well this is a "duhh" moment to someone who doesn't flick the trigger lightning fast smh

I HAD BEEEN TRYING TO LIGHT A CANDLE FOR 7 MINUTES BEFORE I FOUND THIS VIDEO!!! XOXO

Thanks for this video! Just rescued a Scripto BBQ lighter from a dumpster and it just wouldn't light, no matter how many times I squeezed the trigger. Watched your video and found out I was squeezing the trigger way too fast. Once I did a slow squeeze it lit the first time & every time since.

For people who are having issues with a locked trigger, the guy left out one key step. There is a safety mechanism on a lot of stick ligters that prevents trigger from being pulled if not engaged. It's located above the trigger when held properly (like he's doing in the video). It is required that this mechanism be slid forward (or depressed) to unlock the trigger. The other information in the video is correct though.

I know this is a year later but thank you, now my room can smell nice

What a shame! It took me 72 years until I watched this video and finally learned how to light my bbq lighter. Thank you.

Hubjeep.... you deserve an award. I've been frustrated with long stem lighters for years, thank you for passing this knowledge!!

Great teaching. I was about to head out and buy another lighter after about 6 months of using it. I thought I research this lighter first and I found this video. My Soripto lighter works fine. Just GO SLOW. Isn't that true for most things in life? This video saved me time. Stay home and be safe. Thank you

Thank you for this! Manufacturers should mention this on the package

Holy smokes. Holy smokes. How simple. I have arthritis and just assumed that was why I couldn’t light these suckers. Holy smokes. Thank you.

I haven’t been able to turn it on for like 15 minutes, I was doing the slow thing like how you said, but wasn’t working. I had to do it really really slow but it finally lit! Thanks!

I was ready to throw my new one out as I followed the instructions in another KZread video but it said nothing about pulling the trigger SLOW. That was the key. Thanks so much. I had already thrown out a more expensive, fancier one with the bendable shaft as it didn't work, but it was also prob because I pulled the trigger too fast. You are my hero today:)

Straightforward, effective, down to earth video. I THOUGHT MY SCRIPTO BBQ LIGHTER WAS DEAD. I watched the video once, tried the stupid lighter once more, pulling trigger slowly. Didn't work on 1st try because it's been dead! But worked the 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th times! Nice. Now I need another video to find out why the pilot light on my fireplace won't light! Wish me luck! At least the lighter works again.

I got a set yesterday and today I’m trying to figure it out and got frustrated so I googled how to and this video is a lifesaver haha.

My lighter still doesnt' work. Pulled trigger slowly, still nothing.

They are just not reliable! My husband and I couldn't get it to work through the years and today tried to follow these directions but still nothing. Believe me we do not pull the trigger too fast especially after watching this but it just doesn't work. It is practically new, definitely looks new. A waste of money!

Thank you! This will change my bbq lifestyle. I just tried it. I was definitely going to fast before hahah. Thank you!

Wow. I cannot believe I have been this thick headed for THIS long. Thank you.

My trigger won't even budge - crap - going to return it.

THANKS, I WAS GOING TO THROW MINE AWAY. NOW IT WORKS EVERY TIME. GREAT VIDEO!

Took a few tries but once i got the right speed it works like a charm! Thank you!

Here is 11 year old me not knowing how to use a normal lighter and I want to turn my candle on 😅😂

This video Helped me a lot I didn't know how to work it then I listen to what you said and on my first try I got it Ty!!

Because everyone who's ever used a cigarette lighter... wouldn't know, about go slow, for the flow! 🔥 Thanks dude, may the packaging needs to say this in BOLD? of course how many perfectly working lighters get thrown away? Filling the need of profits and greed. GREAT INFO VIDEO!!!!

This sounds like excellent advice! However, my Ronson BBQ lighter stopped working and I'm stumped. There's still plenty of butane in it. I'm able to coax a small blue flame out of the end which then immediately goes out. That's it. I'm squeezing slowly, tried adjusting the -/+ setting, etc., but that's it. It used to work, but I hadn't used it for a while. Of course it's also a pretty inexpensive lighter, and it could simply be defective now, but it irks me to throw it out when the butane chamber is still mostly full...!

Another factor to consider is the weather conditions outside. Nice video.

What a brilliant video. Thanks. I was about to throw the lot out when I tried this method and it bloody worked. Magic!!!! :)

You're a genius my job requires me to use these.

I used one of these before and my aunt gave me one and I thought it was stuck lol. I was about to call her when I saw this video. Thanks

Thank you. Now my room smells like ocean breeze!

thank you! my bic works 100% of the time now.

Thank you for your video! It helps me a lot!

Thank you for your tips. I've had 2 BBQ lighters in a protected bucket with my oil lanterns (at least 2 years) and neither will light. I'll try your tips.

Thank you very much, this has helped me a lot.

Omg your video safe my life. I had a hard time opening the damn thing. Now I know how to work due to your video. Thank you so much

I've got it. Take a narrow metal instrument and gently bend the metal sparker towards the fluid outlet or the main metal tube in your lighter. Works like a charm after that.

Thank you so much! Finally I can use these things!

Dude, thank you so much! I was about to have to eat leftover soggy stuffing not high.

Thanks. I'm proud to say I was conscientious enough to realize I might have been doing something wrong rather than jump to the conclusion that the lighter was crappy.

Very informative! I have had this problem for years.....yayyyy!

My problem more is that I have to push so hard on mine (Kic) that I just can't hold the top long enough to be slow with the trigger. I finally got it to work, but it's still tough. My boyfriend acted like I was dumb for not being able to do it. I think it's just that he has stronger hands, lol. Thanks for the tip though!

Thank you! First video I looked at and saved a lighter from the trash 😂

Great tutorial. Thank You. I was too fast on that trigger, I thought a moment that mine wasn't working. That's why I don't play with fire and guns, instead of Call of Duty 😷😂😅

Oh my goodness! I can't believe it worked. I almost got calluses for pulling the trigger too hard since yesterday 🤦🏾‍♀️😂😂

Loss my lighter so I'ma use this for my blunts

mine usually stop working with half the fuel remaining.

Thank you, I was having a hard time.

Yes thank you works perfectly now .. wish I hadn’t thrown the others away .. Thanks so much 🙏🏻

Thanks, I never could get it until now lol

Got a 4 years old BBQ lighter, rarely used it but it still works. Any danger of keeping a lighter around that old? And where do you guys store it? The BBQ lighter I do see some sticky dried liquid around the push button area, maybe fuel leaking?

this mans a g he just saved the sesh

You Sir are a gentleman!

IT WORKED!!! Thank you!!!

You are a hero my dude

Thank You!! It works! This video helped me so much!!

The black one by Scripto, is it disposable or can the fuel be refilled?

👍👍👍👍👍👍These videos are killing me. 😆

Thank u lol the slow Tech worked

Thank you. Like actually I’m here in 2021 finally lit one for the first time after getting soooo frustrated

I learned this on my own but the problem can be that there is not enough pressure or to much pressure being applied to the safety lock on the top.

Thank you!

Thank you 🙏

Thanks I was just about to make eggs and forgot how to use the lighter

Thank you my mother is scared of the fire I have to light the sparker, because its broken everything I turn I on it doesn't work so I have to use a BBQ Lighter or other thanks for your help.

also works to do it really fast trigger and after you hear a click instantly push the other trigger really fast

Thanks from SriLanaka !

You use it so easily next to the wooden table. I want to light a candle, but I'm so scared to set the house on fire lol Thank you for the public service!!!

Thank you!!

1/4 Million views! Thanks!!!!

THANK YOU!!

The top part won’t even push forward... tips?

Thank you!!!

Was hoping for something to address the sparking mechanism. I pull the trigger slowly, I can see fuel in the lighter, but there is no spark. It is totally full of fluid, used it twice.

Thanks very helpful

Worked immediately!!!!

Thank you.
