Just an update on my lighter problem.
On Monday I contacted Steven at knoxcigar.com where I purchased the lighter and told him about the trouble I was having with the lighter. He said sorry for the problem and that he would send me a new one immediately. I told him I would be out of town until late Wednesday, so he said he would set it up so I would receive it on Thursday. He also said he would include a prepaid shipping label for the return of the broken lighter.
Well, today, Thursday my new lighter and return label arrived as promised. I was able to purge this lighter and refill it with no problems.
I'm truely satisfied with the new X-tend lighter and the excellent service I received from Steven at knoxcigar.com. They will definitely be a store I will use again.
Just one last, what is the best way to purge the old fuel and then refill the lighter?
Thanks for listening to my tale of woe and all of your help.
