Basic troubleshooting tips:

A Good Flame Takes Time. After your Social Light lighter has been at rest for a while,

the butane in the fuel line may have evaporated. Angle the lighter down and slowly press

down the ignitor button. Slowly pressing down the ignitor button will allow maximum fuel

release at the spark.

How’s The Weather? Butane reacts to the barometric pressure and temperature.

In cold temperatures, the flame will need to be increased. In hot temperatures, the flame

will need to be reduced. 

Flame too high - Too much fuel being released will blow out your flame.

Flame too low – Not enough fuel being released won’t keep your flame.

Keep It Clean. The exterior of the lighter’s wand will need to be wiped/cleaned regularly

with a soft cloth (Do not attempt to clean the interior of the wand, this will damage the fuel

coil and void the warranty). Excess wax and soot buildup will eventually clog the fuel coil.

Wax On-Wax Off. If there is excess candle wax at the end of the lighter, use a secondary flame source to light the lighter. With the lighter lit, point the lighter down allowing the flame to melt any excess wax, wipe the exterior of the lighter with a soft cloth and repeat until all the candle wax is removed.

The Flame Is Gone. After you’ve refueled according to the instructions that came with

your Social Light, properly maintained your lighter, adjusted the flame neither too high or

too low and there’s still no flame: Ignite your Social Light over a secondary flame source.

If your Social Lighter produces a flame from a secondary flame – fuel is being released.

 Angle the lighter down and keep the flame burning for a few moments.

 Extinguish the flame by releasing the ignitor button.

 Wipe off excess candle wax and or soot on the exterior of the wand with a soft cloth.

 Light and repeat until the lighter produces a flame on its own

If no flame is produced from a secondary flame – the butane is not being released.

 The fuel line has been compromised.

 Your lighter will need be serviced.

 Contact us at info@sociallighters.com and we will email you our
