The flint isnt working and I’m trying to replace it. I can’t google how to fix it because theres no branding or anything. It looks like there might’ve had a branding on the back but I’m not sure. Any info would be appreciated.

Galter the giant 

I’ve been using this cheap little plastic lighter I picked up on a family trip since 2017, and it’s finally stopped working on me — it no longer snaps the way it’s supposed to when I try to light it. It’s got some sentimental value, so if there’s an easy fix I’d like to try it.

I’ve attached photos of it in varying states of disassembly, in case anyone here can see anything obviously wrong with it.

The black piece with the round metal top (third to last photo) looks like it has a space for a flint or something; it was empty when I took the thing apart. Could that be it?

Other notes:
- There’s a spring attached to the button/switch piece that’s bent upwards at an odd angle; I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be like that but I can’t see any obvious purpose for it.
- The bent metal piece (second to last photo) is quite rigid; I don’t think it’s bent too far and stopped engaging with anything.
- There’s also a round plastic/rubber piece down inside the case (last photo) the purpose of which I’m not sure.

Thanks in advance!

Lighter not sparking

I've had this for about a month and I'll test it every few days for fun. But I can't get it to light consistently. 
I can confirm it does light. 
It sparks everytime I pull it, it just doesn't catch. 
I've put 3oz of Ronsonol lighter fluid total in the opening. First time I was nervous and probably put a few drops. Then about a week later, I did some research on here and added about 2 oz. It worked for that day and probably 1 more time. About a week later it just wouldn't catch again. I filled the cavity until I could see the fluid. Left it for about an hour and then drained it on a paper towel. It worked that day. Now it won't catch again. 

The wick is wet I tapped it on my finger to test it. There's prob 2mm-3mm left of the wick.
If anyone can possibly offer any suggestions I'd appreciate it. 
Thank you.

Help. Mid century Elecrto match won't consistently light 

Hi peeps, 
I found a vintage GL-70 Maruman on my travels in Indonesia for about $10. It's missing the valve on the bottom. The flint works well. 
Is there any chance of finding replacements to repair it myself? I am a competent watchmaker so familiar with small parts. 

Cheers in advance.

Help with Maruman GL-70

Im looking for the name or style of this specific striker wheel on a lighter i just bought

Hi helpful people!
I bought this lighter as a souvineer and I like it very much. However, while mindlessly fidling around with it, I accidently popped the bottom piece off which very dramatically released a full tank of gas! I believe a spring shot out but I couldn't find it anywhere. Now gas won't stay in the chamber therefore it doesn't light. 

Can I fix this by buying a new spring and putting it in?
What size spring would I need?
Is there more that might be missing?

Help will massively appreciated ❤️.

Missing spring?

I just bought this lighter & it’s a stick style scorch torch & the bottom is a built in clip. The lighters refill valve & flame adjustment is underneath the clip but I can’t figure out how to open in. There isn’t a button to release the clip or open it anywhere on the torch & it’s not as easy as it looks the clip doesn’t just pull up or slide in any direction either. I’ve owned hundreds of lighters & this is the first that has me really confused. I’ve checked on their websites trying to read about this model to figure it out but there isn’t anything so Reddit do your thing & help me please!🙏

I got this souvenir lighter in Egypt and I love it but I fear I may have destroyed it. I just wanted to put in lighter fluid and I don’t know if any actually went into the tank. The first two pictures are how I reassembled it and the last one is a piece that I am not sure where it goes 😮‍💨 lol 😬

  As said in the title, I'd like some information about vintage lighter burner valve, especially the one on pictures below.

   My main questions:
 1. Is detail 5 should go inside 6? Because when i put it in the i cabt acceble the valve. If yes what does it do and can i replace it with something similar?

2. Should detail 3 be corked as in the third photo? (It wasn't corked when i got the lighter, but i saw similar detail corked on a lighter i repair before this one.) If yes, why and how?

   If anyone got some interesting articles, schemes or something from personal experience about vintage lighters components i would greatly appreciate sharing.

   Grateful for any replies, thanks for taking time to read my post.

How do I put new flint into this lighter

I have refilled the lighter several times in the past hour, The lighting expels too much gas too quickly, no matter how low I set the flame, it continues to let out lots of gas, emptying the lighter in a matter of seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Help disassembling vintage Evans table lighter?

I recently bought a large ST Dupont Ligne 1. It was low on gas so I also bought a butane canister and a set of valve adapters. I'm having trouble refilling it though, as the gas just leaks everywhere when I try.

From googling around a bit it seems the valve o-rings might need to be replaced, but I'm not sure? Could use some help figuring this out

If anyone has any resources on how to go about repairing this (and where to buy the valve removal tool - can't find that thing online!) it would be greatly appreciated!
