Low or No Flame
A low or absent flame on your Scorch Torch lighter can be frustrating, but it’s often a simple fix․ Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshooting this common issue⁚
Check the Fuel Level⁚ The most common culprit for a low or no flame is an empty or near-empty fuel tank․ Refill your lighter with butane using a compatible canister․ Ensure the lighter is cool before refilling․

Inspect the Valve⁚ The valve is the part of the lighter that controls the flow of butane․ If the valve is damaged or worn, it can cause a leak․ If you suspect a problem with the valve, it’s best to contact Scorch Torch customer support for repair or replacement options․
Examine the Fuel Tank⁚ Cracks or damage to the fuel tank can lead to gas leaks․ Inspect the fuel tank for any visible signs of damage․ If the tank is damaged, it needs to be replaced․
Tighten the Valve⁚ If the leak appears to be coming from the valve area, carefully tighten the valve using a small wrench or pliers․ Be careful not to overtighten, as this can damage the valve․
If you’ve followed these steps and the leak persists, it’s recommended to contact Scorch Torch customer support or a qualified repair technician․ Leaking lighters can be dangerous, and it’s important to address the issue promptly for safety reasons․
No Spark
A missing spark is a common issue that can prevent your Scorch Torch lighter from igniting․ Fortunately, troubleshooting a no-spark situation often involves simple fixes․ Here’s a step-by-step guide⁚
