PapaDisco Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 My 1975 vintage Dunhill Rollagas burns perfectly in all respects except when I get down to (I guess) about 1/4-1/8 tank of gas; at which point the flame initiates at its normal, preset level and then shrinks down after about 10 seconds. I can adjust the flame back up, but if I do so then when I next open the lighter and spark it, I will get a very tall flame for 10 seconds, which then shrinks down to the new set level. Is this just typical for a Rollagas running low? Or is it symptomatic of a pending rebuild? Once I fill the tank again, all is normal; and I'm only using Dunhill butane.

CaptainQuintero Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Pretty normal I think. If there was an issue with the tank it would happen when full not just when near empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 My Dunhill 70 does that too, I like to think it adds character! And who needs eyebrows anyway? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amart Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 IM Corona Double Corona does that as well. I actually like it. It lets me know when the lighter is almost empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
