Why is it that you refuse to add the instructions on how to use this lighter? It would sure save you a lot of negative reviews with a little instructi

my smart ass answer is--if you need instruction on how to use this lighter you shouldn't have one.a literal answer is, safety first--do not aim at anything you do not want burned, like your face. to operate, press down on the black lever. if you push all over the device, the black lever is the only thing that will move. pressing down on the lever will release butane and generate a spark to ignite said butane. opposite the flame end you will find the connector for refilling with butane. the dome also turns to adjust the size of the flame. simple. no instructions necessary. darwin rule applies. my smart ass answer is--if you need instruction on how to use this lighter you shouldn't have one.a literal answer is, safety first--do not aim at anything you do not want burned, like your face. to operate, press down on the black lever. if you push all over the device, the black lever is the only thing that will move. pressing down on the lever will release butane and generate a spark to ignite said butane. opposite the flame end you will find the connector for refilling with butane. the dome also turns to adjust the size of the flame. simple. no instructions necessary. darwin... » Read More my smart ass answer is--if you need instruction on how to use this lighter you shouldn't have one.a literal answer is, safety first--do not aim at anything you do not want burned, like your face. to operate, press down on the black lever. if you push all over the device, the black lever is the only thing that will move. pressing down on the lever will release butane and generate a spark to ignite said butane. opposite the flame end you will find the connector for refilling with butane. the dome also turns to adjust the size of the flame. simple. no instructions necessary. darwin rule applies. « Show Less

Make sure the lighter is upside down and hold it firm. Make sure u insert can direct down not sideways and push it down and hold it for about 3 second bursts about 5 times. Mine works amazing. Some times if it's not upside down a and straight and can tilts it can happen. Push can down firm. I only use premium fuel cans

Yes it is built in. But what difference does it make IF the Lighter DOESN'T WORK AND IT DOESN'T

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

Directions should have been included as it was with mine. I suggest you contact the seller through Amazon resolutions and advise them that your purchase did not include the directions and they should provide one for you. The sellers are pretty good at resolving issues with their merchandise to avoid bad ratings. I hope this was helpful to you.

Im not sure why this has so many stars when it seems like there are no instructions on how to use it and as for the first few comments i read im not sure this product works at all......unless they were not using it properly. I was going to purchase this but for the price and the experiences others have had im not sure it would be worth my time and especially my money!

Sorry, but there are so many superior charcoal lighters out there that I will never use my Looflighter again.Wanna buy it? $30, and I'll pay shipping. Used once. You'll be disappointed, I promise.

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!

To be honest with you, we never did figure out how to use it properly! So if I were you I wouldn't waste my money on it.

It's not that hard to light. The whole bottom round knob is the button. If nothing else, pressing it downward on a flat surface does the same as pressing it with a thumb. When lighting it, there is a black slider that must be pushed up to the "on" position first. Then the flame type slider on the side must be set to "jet". Then pushing in on the bottom will light it. This is all described in the directions of use.

You need to use butane Fluid not zippo fluid it's not a zippo lighter. Simple fix :)

Save your money. IF you get one that works it will not last long before the flame does not shut off when the button is released. The two I bought were sent back, as requested by the vendor to be replaced and were never seen again nor was my account credited. I'm out the price of the two lighter plus the eight dollars of return postage. Good Luck.

I do not know anything about lighters; I am buying one for a gift but by now I hope you found out that if the chemicals catch on fire and you have a flame to do whatever you needed to, that's all that matters. Chemicals don't care what box they are in. Just check the labels or in the case of Amazon, check details of the contents. If you are still conserned then you could always test it in another lighter or that particular one before sending it.

Yeah... a light tap does it. Wouldn't it have been nice if they actually gave you instructions with this flashlight? Great flashlight though.

I had similar problem but it was because I didn't refer back to the instructions and got the tension knob & the locking knob mixed up. Boy did I feel stupid! I guess "when all else fails, read the instructions" is not as stupid as it sounds. I hope that is not your problem but it is a thought.

Occasionally I have to try a few times, but usually it's not a problem. I have had a lot more trouble with lighters and I have found that if I hold the lighter upright (not the correct position to fill) connect to the fill can and then open the lighter (as if to start) and let it blow through for a few seconds, it usually lights afterwards.
