  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Xikar Lighter Question

    I did read your post, I said to use Xikar’s High Performance butane (black can) as opposed to the regular butane (silver can). If that doesn’t work, regardless of them replacing it before, I would go back to Xikar (probably with a phone call) to discus a solution. Is this more clear...

    Xikar Lighter Question

    Bleed it and refill. Get some of the Xikar High Performance butane. If that doesn’t work, I would take advantage of Xikar’s warrenty.
