1: flip open 2: turn to right; or clockwise; flip top should be opened mouth to right lower hinge to left;3: look and search above the line of flip top; you will see round stem; half way; up; using thumb nail; or such press it down; same time pull back; top where grooves are; back; toward left; you will see empty trough;
that's where flit goes in; you can insert vertically to round slot; clean off dusts will help; use facial tissue; place it vertically then tilt it to right; using pen or such; then pull back top; from left to right; you should hear click as pressed down stem locks into place;
if you need to really clean; get lighter fluid; or such cleaning fluids; empty out all the butane by pressing down; the intake valve; do it repeatedly till such time you don't hear sound;
then wet down on facial tissue and wipe it down;
the flint lighter comes off; if you put it wrong; it wont spark; just rotate it; put it backward; then it works;
you can use any butane; no need to buy dupont butane; just need to have right fitting; colibri butane works; as well as hobby shop; supplied generic butane works as well;
burns the same; just needs right fitting; so buy one with multiple heads and cut to fit the size;
stopped buying them; used to be able to get it for dollar; or 1.50; at most 2.00 it got very expensive; so stopped buying them; now its $6.00 per cartridge; too expensive for my pocket;
if i do; i'd use it for show off; on date or such; short of that?; using 13oz $2.49 butane;
i just need to keep buying flint;
other flints don't work; dupont flints are narrower; so unless you want to spend time shaving it;
one word of caution; don't over fill it; press down to fill once or twice; for 2 seconds each;
seem to have multiple chambers; so it will reach equilibrium;
good luck;
No, you cannot use any flint in your Dupont lighter. Dupont lighters are designed to work with specific flint types that match their mechanism and size. Using the wrong flint can lead to improper functioning or damage to the lighter. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate flint to use.
To change the flint on a Dunhill dress lighter, first, locate the flint compartment, usually found at the bottom or side of the lighter. Use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to carefully open the compartment, then remove the old flint. Insert a new flint into the chamber, ensuring it fits snugly, and reassemble the lighter. Finally, test the lighter to ensure it ignites properly.
To fix a St Dupont lighter, first ensure it has enough fuel and the flint is not worn out. If it still doesn’t ignite, check the ignition system for dirt or debris and clean it gently with a soft brush. If the lighter is still malfunctioning, consider taking it to a professional repair service or contacting St Dupont for assistance, as their mechanisms can be delicate and require specialized knowledge. Always refer to the user manual for specific troubleshooting tips for your model.
