will this lighter work when tipped to light a pipe or will it sputter

since its a butane flame i think you should go with a normal zippo, cause you could get burned. This should be a better option: Zippo Pipe Black Matte Lighter

most time it stays lite but if your low on fuel it will sputter and go out but in the wind its great

Mine stays lit and works between to ~90 degrees. When I turn it upside down it blows out.

Just light it upright and you can turn the BLU2 in any direction, even upside down. Make sure you use Zippo Gas.

This unit is a drag start. So you do have to touch the metal first but don't drag it the whole time or you will burn through the tips very fast.

Could it be a problem with wind? Also a possibility is the igniter needs to be adjusted a bit. Will it light with a match?

I try to keep it upright in my pocket. The fuel is in the bottom piece and the filament is in the top piece. I don't know if NEEDS to stay upright but I would think that if it were upside down the fuel wouldn't feed the element properly.

The Blackfire light has 2 green legs so that it can stand on a flat surface. They will prevent a 1-1/2" pipe from entering the clamping portion. However,if the 2 green legs were removed, you might have it work for you. I believe the legs could be easily removed. The are each held by a single pin that I believe could be removed. Should you desire more information, I can give you my phone number to call. Earl

your torch tip that you use will have the shutoff/regulator at the end you will be working from

I always gave mine a few seconds rest every minute; that said, I would say yes. That would be at its most powerful setting; I never bothered with the lighter settings. Hope that helps! :)

Lighter is a fluid burner, but I use it everyday two to ten times, and find it is exactly what I needed to light a pipe quickly and on first try most of the time. Have had a large can of fluid for six months and it is still half full, so no complaints.

Everyone beat me to it - and they are all correct. You might be able to scavenge a lighter plug off of some other device that you have sitting around and attach it to the ring terminals, but be absolutely certain that you have the polarity correct before you attempt to rig something up, or you will find yourself with a damaged electrical system - or worse!

Yes it is. Itll take some time. A lighter works just fine as well without burning it if you keep the flame moving.

I am not sure exactly how this unit works, but if you are referring to enough power I would say yes. If you can get lighter to pull out or can access the wires behind it you can use a splice in connector.

Ilight my pipes with the lighter, the lighter is at least 90 degrees minimum and sometimes a lot more. Don't know if this helps answer your question or not.

Make sure the spout is closed tight when you finish filling your lighter,if your speaking abour your lighterI fill mine every other day !

Don't think so. The tip at the end completes the electrical circuit so if you cut it off, it won't heat. If you just connect the wires, or try to re-splice the tip, it could short out and blow your circuit breaker, or cause a fire. The one I bought was a little too long so after I completed the first winds around the pipe, I wrapped the whole thing with insulation and then wound the extra length of heat tape around the outside of the insulation so that the heat tape did not overlap and contact itself, as the instructions specify.

I tried my lighter, but I guess it was too short.Not sure if it would melt, but the USB car charger I plug into it works fine.

I think so. I used mine over the holiday weekend and it was the right side that would not light immediately. However when I shield it more from the wind by moving the pan and crank the igniter it would always light. Don't be shy with the igniter.

Make sure the lighter is upside down and hold it firm. Make sure u insert can direct down not sideways and push it down and hold it for about 3 second bursts about 5 times. Mine works amazing. Some times if it's not upside down a and straight and can tilts it can happen. Push can down firm. I only use premium fuel cans
