The "fire" button on my electronic cigarette system is a plastic momentary switch. Is this safe on plastics and will it work if I just spray it on the button itself? I dont seem to be able to get it apart.

Yeah it's safe on plastics. It's hard to say whether it will help or not, but if you spray it around the edges of the button then press the button a bunch (and repeat a few times), you should get the cleaner inside the mechanism to do its stuff.

It works great, it pulls any smoke away from your face. It works great and is very well priced. Remember the smoke from soldering is from the flux not the lead or tin or silver in the solder it's self. You don't solder at a high enough temperature to make dangerous gasses. But it's nice to keep the smoke away from your and this device does a great job. Get it, you will not be disappointed. I solder a lot and I love it.

First of all there is a safety switch right below the button, you have to move the switch to the left. The switch will stay in that position, then press the button ( this button is the ignition button ) . If the torch ignites the button will snap back to the right position. Also make sure your torch has fuel in it. I have never had a speck of trouble with mine, it is the best torch I ever owned and I have had several. Jack

Does your current ignitor with the red button have a screw at the bottom or does it push and lock into place? Sorry they do not make a retro kit to electronic.

Yes you can. There are 2 things that happen when you pull the trigger, the piezo lighter snaps as a plunger allows the gas to flow. The gas only flows if both the trigger is pressed and the valve opened. Bernzomatic will not repair these and does not sell replacement parts. I've fixed mine once in 5 years, mostly crud around the igniter and spring. You have to be careful on reassembly to get the wires to contact correctly so the spark ignites in the small brass tube for that purpose. Easy to take apart, IIRC loosen the yellow button's allen screw, there is a spring and the 2 piece pieze igniter that has the wire that goes into the brass tube, IIRC the lock button is also held with the same allen screw. Keith how do you "blow up" torches a few times? Seriously?

Honestly, I have this switch for a twelve volt electric step for my dodge pick up. I have had to replace it two times and the next time, I'm going with a roller switch. I had an extra and installed it on my walk in pantry with a 120 volt source. It lasted two days. I wouldn't trust it on a kids toy if the toy was a volt and a half. 1 thru 10 scale, A .5. Z.T.

Mine sparks inside the housing as well, especially when I stop the chain (release the switch) and the moment I start it.. I consider this normal for motors, although I don't know exactly where the sparks are coming from. Regardless, don't use the lopper near combustible gas vapors. Check with customer service just to be sure.

Rem Oil is not supposed to harm the plastic. I have a mark3 also and mine worked without the oil. good luck

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.

Randi use the lever on the left side and pull it back while lit. This locks the flame in the on posistion and you can let go of the button.

Hmmm Good question. I just asked my hubby and he said he didn't know either! One thing it might be, but sound backwards... an issue we have now is the red button doesn't stay engaged (the gas cuts off). We prop something under the button to keep the fire going. Other than that we have used this many many many times for our Beach Boils (shrimp boil, seafood boil), which are a big hit!

Ha ha- I'm not a smoker but I guess it would work to light a pipe or joint, but not as a pipe! Is 'wood burning' slang, or do you really mean wood burning? Again, not a wood burner but it would prob. do that; though I doubt as good as good as a wood burning kit. You could always try it and if it doesn't work, at least you have a new battery operated lighter/soldering iron.

there aren't any moving parts other than the button you depress to ignite it, Ive had mine for over a year and haven't had any issues. I'd be careful however about dropping it. the corners are plastic and they could break, and the cap doesn't fit particularily tight. That is one thing I wish it did...fit a little tighter.

My wife answered this one for me. She says, "Just pop it in the MW and fire it up!" I would definitely not recommend leaving it in the MW for too long, (30 seconds, or so is enough!) or it WILL burn the bejabbers out of you!

This grip went up in smoke for me and I burned my fingers trying to get it apart before it went up in flames or the batteries exploded. Sounds like it doesn't happen to everyone, but in my opinion, it's not worth the risk. I recommend buying the Nikon grip. It's expensive, but when I'm on a shoot I don't want to worry about my $3300 camera burning up because I wanted to save a couple of bucks on a grip.

If it were me I would never consider using it with plastic. It will get hot enough to burn your hand, or plug it in and put your hand on it and see what you think.
