Jet Lighters

HOW DO JET LIGHTERS WORK?

Jet lighters work by pulling in air from the outside and combining it with butane before ignition. A small spark then creates a powerful jet flame that burns blue, much hotter and steadier than the soft orange flame from a standard lighter.

If you’ve tried lighting up in windy weather, you’ll notice the difference immediately. The flame stays consistent and gives smokers precise control to light bowls, cigars or water bongs evenly from any angle.

For more heat, double-jet and triple-jet lighters create flames that cover a wider area. They light faster, burn hotter and deliver an even flame that makes smoking sessions smooth and reliable both indoors and outdoors.

WHY USE A JET LIGHTER

A jet lighter is worth using because it gives you more control and a stronger, steadier flame than a standard lighter. It mixes fuel with air before ignition, which creates a focused blue flame that burns hot and consistently.

Many smokers choose jet lighters for outdoor use and for evenly lighting cigars, pipes and bowls. Here are the main reasons why:

• Precise flame control: Light from any angle with accuracy and ease.
• Powerful jet flame: Butane produces a hotter and steadier flame than a soft orange flame.
• Windproof flame: Designed to stay consistent during outdoor use.
• Refillable and durable: Refill when needed instead of buying single-use lighters.
• Clean burn: Refined butane burns without adding extra taste or smell.

JET LIGHTERS VS. STANDARD LIGHTERS

The difference between jet lighters and standard lighters comes down to how the flame is made. A standard lighter uses surrounding air to produce a soft orange flame. It flickers easily in the wind and can make it harder to light evenly.

For a stronger and steadier option, you can turn to a butane lighter with a jet flame. It pulls in extra air before ignition, and a small spark creates a blue flame that burns hotter. With this design, you can point this windproof lighter at any angle and still get a smooth, even light.

WHAT GAS DO JET LIGHTERS USE?

Jet lighters use butane gas as their fuel. Compared with the lighter fluid used in some refillable lighters, butane burns cleanly and gives off very little odour. This means the flavour of your smoke stays unchanged.

At My Bong Shop, you’ll find Honest jet lighters and Jobon jet lighters supplied without gas. Refill them with liquid butane as needed, and you’ll have a long-lasting and cost-effective lighter with a steady flame for everyday use.

HOW HOT DOES A JET LIGHTER GET?

Jet flame torch lighters can reach much higher temperatures than a standard lighter. It uses butane and compresses it into a sharp, blue flame that burns with intensity and consistency. Unlike the soft orange flame of a disposable, this heat is concentrated and controlled.

For smokers, that higher temperature means a cleaner and more even light. With this lighter, you also use less fuel because the concentrated flame works faster and stays consistent.

ARE JET LIGHTERS ALLOWED ON PLANES?

No, jet flame lighters cannot be taken on planes. Airport security places them in a higher risk category than disposable or refillable lighters because of the stronger flame. To avoid fines or having your lighter taken away, always check the latest airline rules before you travel.

HOW TO FILL A JET LIGHTER

A jet lighter needs to be refilled with butane once it runs out. Knowing how to do this the right way keeps the flame strong and makes your lighter last longer.

To refill correctly, follow these easy steps:

1. Empty leftover gas: Turn the flame to low if your lighter has an adjuster, then press the refill valve with a small screwdriver or similar tool to let out any leftover fuel or trapped air.
2. Find the refill valve: Turn the refillable butane lighter upside down and look for the small valve at the base.
3. Use the right butane: Choose high-quality lighter butane and use the correct nozzle adapter to avoid leaks and clogging.
4. Fill the tank: Hold the lighter upside down and keep the can upright while pressing the nozzle firmly into the valve. Refill in short bursts.
5. Let it settle: Wait a few minutes so the butane stabilises and the lighter returns to room temperature.
