    5. Troubleshooting Common Issues

    Issue: The lighter won’t ignite.

    • Check the gas reservoir and refill if empty.

    • Gently bleed out the lighter to verify if there is any gas inside the lighter. If you can hear hissing, but see not gas, the lighter is not filled.

    Issue: The flame is weak or inconsistent.

    • Check the gas reservoir and refill if empty.

    • Ensure you’re using the correct gas refill.

      Issue: Gas is leaking from the valve during refill.

      • Ensure you are using official S.T. Dupont refills & the refill canister is properly aligned with the valve. Try holding the lighter steady and pressing firmly during the refill process.
