Hi there,

I just picked up a used gold Colibri Touch Sensor (not sure if it's actually Colibri or counterfeit) at a store today. Trouble is, the flame is very very small. I've tried adjusting it but it stays the same length. Any ideas for the cause or how I could fix this? Here's a picture of what it looks like lit. Thanks.

Looks like a burner issue.

Your best bet may be to return it to Colibri for factory adjustment.

you could just smoke really ,really small cigars..... Wink

Good luck, Colibri seems to have a spotty reputation.

maybe there's not enough butane left in the lighter. Try to bleed it out and refill it and see what happens. I know my lighter's flame gets small when it's almost empty

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Turned out it just needed to be bled and refilled. I did the same thing with an older one I thought had kicked the bucket. Turns out it just needed a good flush. Thanks again!

I would say if bleeding doesnt work, take that baby back
