FAQs
Does this lighter come filled with fuel?
No, for safety reasons during transit, the lighter is shipped empty and must be filled with standard lighter fluid before first use.
Can I use butane fuel?
No, this is a petrol lighter designed specifically for liquid lighter fluid. Using butane will not work.
How often do I need to replace the wick?
The wick lasts a long time but should be trimmed or replaced if it becomes black and crusty, preventing the fluid from drawing up properly.
Is the pewter cat design durable?
Yes, English pewter is a high-quality, durable metal that is securely attached to the lighter casing.
Is the matte black finish prone to peeling?
The finish is high-quality and durable, though like any metal product, it may show wear over time with heavy daily use.
Troubleshooting
Lighter fails to spark
Check if the flint is worn down or missing; replace the flint if necessary.
Flame is small or weak
The lighter may be low on fuel or the wick may be charred; refill or trim the wick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your lighter, open the casing and lift the felt pad to saturate the internal cotton wadding with lighter fluid. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage. For care, keep the flint wheel clean from debris to ensure a smooth spark. If the flame height becomes inconsistent, it is likely time to trim the wick or add a small amount of fluid. Store the lighter in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to preserve the longevity of the fuel and the flint mechanism.
