I found my dads old dupont lighter. But it doesnt work. I'm googling on how I can refil it and how to place a new rock. I cant find anything. I need help please. I want to use it. I just need to know how to put a new rock on it. I dont know how and where to place the rock. I did manage to open it. Please help. :D

It sounds like my crappy broken door bell.

@sungtagk3286 Actually, the most expensive Zippo is $12k, why you ask? 18 karat solid gold, including a solid gold inside (with brass around where the flame is).

@tudormarcu2006 oh sorry.. I just checked online and yes I will correct myself it uses butane and no it will not be able to be filled from a fuel can purchased from a non specialty store. you must use their cans with the proper adapter type (as far as I have read although my ignorance on this topic means I still may be wrong)

[tudormarcu2006]

@XysflightchampX I am sure that it uses butane, the zippo lighter is the one that uses lighter fluid. But I'm asking if Dupont lighter can be filled with regular butane cans, because I know there are for sale special butane capsules. Yes, capsules, because with those you can fill the ligter only once. My previous questions are still available.

Thanks!

@ToolshedEd3TF please do not try and fill a lighter that uses lighter fluid with butane.. there are some people on youtube who have done that to zippos with terribly unsafe results.

[XysflightchampX]

@Thesuperooh charcoal?

[XysflightchampX]

@avielsick perhaps a tad...

[XysflightchampX]

@sungtagk3286 ya sad how some people don't feel right unless they spend their money on the most expensive

things they can. no offence but really who cares how much it costs.

[XysflightchampX]

@tudormarcu2006 it uses lighter fluid I believe (may be wrong but I doubt it) and for that reason there is no safe way to fill it with butane without a modification
