FAQs
What type of fuel does this lighter use?
This lighter uses standard butane gas. It is sold without gas, so you will need to purchase butane separately.
How do I adjust the flame?
The flame height can typically be adjusted using a small wheel or screw located near the burner mechanism. Refer to the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for specific instructions.
Is this lighter suitable for cigars?
While it can technically light a cigar, this lighter is specifically designed with a soft flame optimized for pipe bowls, which may make it less ideal for quickly lighting the larger surface area of a cigar compared to a jet flame lighter.
How long does one refill of butane last?
The duration depends on usage and flame adjustment. With moderate use and a properly adjusted soft flame, one refill can last for a significant number of lights, designed for long-term use on a single refill.
What is the warranty period?
The VVAY Pipe Lighter comes with a lifetime warranty.
Can I return the lighter if I'm not satisfied?
Yes, VVAY offers a 90-day right of return.
What makes this lighter a good gift?
It comes in an exquisitely crafted wooden presentation box and is made of high-quality solid brass with a classic, elegant design, making it an ideal and prestigious gift, especially for occasions like Christmas.
Troubleshooting
Lighter does not ignite after filling
Ensure the lighter has been refilled with butane. Check that the flame adjustment is not set too low. Verify the flint is present and not worn out; replace if necessary. Allow the gas to stabilize for a minute after filling.
Flame is weak or inconsistent
Adjust the flame using the adjustment wheel to a higher setting. Check if the butane level is low and refill if needed. Ensure the burner area is clean and free from obstructions.
Butane gas leaks during filling
Ensure the butane canister nozzle is properly seated in the fill valve. Do not overfill. If the leak persists, check the fill valve for damage or debris.
Brass exterior tarnishing
Gently polish the brass with a soft, dry cloth. For significant tarnish, use a specialized brass cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, then polish with a soft cloth.
