Am I supposed to put lighter fluid in it? Mine does't light at all.

yes you need to put lighter fluid in it. It isn't shipped filled ready to go unfortunately.

Hi there - My lights work - I would say as long as it is cooking and "heating" don't worry - or send it back. 98

Pretty much like all lighters of this kind. Once it's filled with "lighter fluid"... (butane)... simply pull the red "trigger" and the sparker should ignite the butane!

Do you have 2 cig lighters in car you can hook this in to? Try the other one. Did you turn the car on when you plugged it in? Radio is on? If so it must be defective. It should light right up. There is no button that needs to be pressed.

I had the same issue, on the bottom where you put the Butane in (there should be another tube around it) you'll see that it has indents, use something small like a flathead screwdriver and twist it to the left increasing the power of the lighter and it should work.

You did it correctly. Make sure the top button is all the way forward, pressed against the front of the indentation, at which point you will hear gas coming out. Sometimes I have to fiddle with mine a bit, but I've always gotten it to light.

Make sure you put a good amount of fuel in first. After that hold the flame on it for about 10 seconds. If it still doesn't light, check to make sure it's still damp on the inside and try again. Note, that its not going to be a visible flame but you might see it glow orange sometimes and only put what you need for that specific time and don't fill it expecting to use it later or in a couple of days, I tried this and learned quick that its not like there lighters. So soon after filling it, it needs to be lit otherwise it won't light up.

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.

If your elements are still lit up and it stays hot, there must be a problem with it. Mine does neither of those things. I'd return it, I think :).

Return the item. I had the same issue with the light I purchased or call Amazon.

There is a small circular valve on the bottom. Any regular can of butane lighter fluid should work. Press the can into the hole and it will begin to fill with fluid. There will be some fluid that escapes while you are filling, that is normal.

humm...I assume you are using "lump" charcoal. On that basis try lighting it with a torch or one of the little wax impregnated compressed wood lighters. Lump cam be difficult to light, once you get the hang of it no problem.

Hi Siu K li, I did the test for you on my light. I turned it on for one hour on high and the transformer that plugs into the wall got warm. I am an electronics guy and that is very normal for this type of device. There is nothing for you to worry about with this product, just make sure that you have plenty of space for airflow around the transformer/plug and you will be fine. I love my OXYLED desk lamp... Take care, Steve T.

Ditto. Just fill it with the oil it came with to the proper level, plug it in and it should work. temporarily remove the inlet black plug,, put your finger to plug it up and you should feel it trying to suck in your finger. This lets you know it is working and sucking right. Caution, the body fins may tend to get hot to the touch depends on how long you have it working. Provide adequate ventilation.

I use a zippo to light it after I filled the warmer with fluid. I can't see the burner glow, but what I usually do is hold the warmer close to my face. If it feels and stays warm, I know its lit. I'll leave it out for a minute or two without the top cover to make sure the thing is lit and still hot. Once that's done, you can put the cover on and then the bag.

You refill at the rounded bottom of the tank. That bottom part also turns to adjust the flame. I have two, and neither one work very well since I first had to refill them. The flame adjustment is out of whack on both lighters. I suspect this is caused by putting too much fuel in at one time. You might want to try using short bursts instead of one long one. I should mention that the fuel really pours out of mine when it is full, pretty much blowing the flame out, but every now and then it catches and you get a bigger flame than you want. If I turn it down it won't light at all.

Definitely buy this! The lighter itself does not come with any fluid and this should last you a while. I bought the lighter in June, filled it up to 3/4 and haven't needed to refill it yet.
