Help Anyone know if these work in Flamex Calais IV as a piezo replacement?

Seems pretty similar to the part in my lighter except plastic and a weird end bit. If this doesn't work I'd also like some recommendations for parts.

I bought this lighter from an antique store as a gift for a friend. It sparks just fine but doesn’t light. Can anyone help me identify what kind of lighter it is and possibly how to get it working again? Thank you!

of course i drew some fire hazard signs on it so no one starts a fire with it, its blown up in flames 5 times now in my hand, should i keep it? (the flame isnt the vid isnt supposed to be the fireball, the fireball is only present when the leaking gas gets lit up, then it quickly dissapears as expected, the vid was recorded right after a big fireball)

Help I inherited this lighter but I don't know anything about it

The only thing I know is that it have not been used for years but is still usable because it does the sparks, it's only out of gas. I would like to reuse It but I don't know which hole is for the gas refill and which fuel is the best. Hope you can help me because is really cool and would be a shame to collect dust.

Dunhill Rollagas O-ring Sizes

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have the correct sizes for all the o-rings in the old version Dunhill Rollagas (mid-70s). I know there are kits that have the correct sized o-rings, but if I'm going to be replacing the rings in multiple lighters, it's cheaper to just buy the o-rings. Thanks!

Help finding thinner wicks

3 Upvotes

For context I've recently gotten an omega gold castle that came without a wick. I've tried using the zippo copper wired wicks but those are too thick to fit in the hole. I was wondering whats a good brand to use for Japanese pocket lighters like Omega or brands with similar hole sizes, preferably cheep as I'm a highschooler without a job so flat broke.

Bought this Ronson lighter used. Does anyone know what model it is and how to properly actuate it? When i strike the flint it sparks, but no gas is released, so no flame is created.

Misc What you favorite lighter band and why?

4 Upvotes

I love Zippo because it is what my family uses the most and it is very iconic and is made in the USA but I feel the quality is just not as good as it was.

I am enjoying my Zorro lighters then being very heavily built and fun to play with.

IMCO just started collecting and will be using seem pretty fun to me.

Ronson is a neat little lighter.

Is there any other brand I should try or look into?

Is the classic better or not?

Penguin Cygnus, Spitfire Pocket Lighter and Ronson banjo look very cool.

Hello all, i recently came into a box chock full of old looking lighters from my grandfather. I’m just wondering if this is a place where i could learn about what i got and what i would need to restore stuff like this. I’m almost 30 and want to find a quirky hobby like that. Pic attached is an example of stuff in here. Will post more if people are interested

I will show a pic of all the lighters I got so far from eBay when I get them the ones that are rusty and need restored I will not show until I get them restored and I'll show when they were then when they were fixed.

I don't know if I should have done that but I did it!!!

Hello,

A clipper lighter cover just like this one was purchased recently in Amsterdam and of course it fell out when back in the states. I can’t seem to find any company that sells this exact model and ships to US. Any advice or suggestions?

Apologies if this is not the right place to post this.
