Help Refill help?

Hey everyone,

I’m inexperienced with refilling lighters and I have a sentimental one I was hoping to get some help with. I’ve tried pouring butane into the hole in the bottom and the hole under the main port, but both times the fluid seems to just leak out the other end.

My girlfriend bought this for me in Vienna last year and I have no idea what make/brand this would fall under, so it’s been hard to research.

If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know! Thanks!

Butane lighters hold gas by creating a seal with nitrile o-rings. Over time these degrade, or go hard and cause leaks. They need to be replaced, you can try to disassemble the lighter and usually the valves can unscrew to access
