I just received it. I've read here that the part with the wick needs to be screwed off to fill it?

Yes the item comes empty as the description states. Shipping an item with flammable liquid and a means to ignite that liquid is prohibited by most shippers for obvious reasons. There are instructions included with the item on how to fill it.

Just unscrew the top and the insert with the wick will pull up and out(don't just pull by the wick either) I filled the cotton batten to the brim. Let it soak and fill again. I did form the wick to also, but I didn't cut it. Hope this helps.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

Mine came filled and the flame is adjustable with a "D" handle that swings down when you flip it open with a fingernail.Like most refillables, you need to use a very small screwdriver (pushing in on the valve in center of bottom) to make sure it is completely empty before you try to fill it, otherwise, it won't fill completely.Use a good (multiple-filtered) grade of butane (like Vector).These are usually good for 6-8 refills before the igniter mechanism jams. Ive had 10 or 12 over the years.

Make sure the spout is closed tight when you finish filling your lighter,if your speaking abour your lighterI fill mine every other day !

Is the fill cap on? If it is, open the cap, this should allow the tank to go back to it's original shape. If this is not the case, I would return the tank because this is not normal.

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.

Make sure you have all the air out of it when you screw the top on. I find that helps keep it from leaking.

What is the problem? Looking at the mechanism it is different than the normal cupping setup. There seems to be a a molded plastic piece glued or melted in place covering the sealing washer and red valve piece. Typically the red piece gets stuck. You move it manually up or down using little pressure to free it up. The assembly does not look like it can be removed.

It was a while ago that I ordered this but I'm pretty sure it came with wicks. If not, the wicks are easily found at hardware stores. Hope this helped.

Yes they are re-fillable. Unscrew the top and pour in. Comes empty with wick.

Very. Just fill can, screw on top with wick and drop in. I use a funnel to fill.

I just bought the heater 2 months ago after my father had one for 5 years. I never asked him how often he had to change the wick however I have been running mine for 2 months 2 - 3 times a day 1 - 2 hours each time. Just yesterday it seemed the flame was acting up so I read the manual and you must clean the wick every so often. I am just about to do just that. I will update you on the outcome.

You need to firmly press the water fill hose into the small hole at the top of the canister assembly. The snug fit should hold firmly in place. if your fill hose is worn or broken, you may need to replace it as well.

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

SAME PROBLEM HERE.. CONTACTED THE VENDOR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPONSE OR FOLLOWUP.. In my opinion it's a piece of crap.. I replaced it with Weller ML500MP Mini Butane Soldering Iron.. it works..
