I have a Vertigo triple torch and 1 of the flames is clogged. Does anyone know of a easy fix? It seems like it's just pissing thru butane with 1 being clogged

    I don't but until you get it fixed, do yourself a favor and pick up a couple of Ronson lighters at Walmart or Walgreens for $4.50. They are very dependable, especially for back-up.

    Can of compressed air. or use a clean air compressor in an emergency. Spray the canned air into the jets. Should be done each time you refill the lighter to keep it clear of debris and lint

    use the butane bottle to clear the clog. Works about 90% of the time. Hold the nozzle directly to the clogged jet and depress like you were filling it.

    One of the first jet lighters I got,I did nothing but fight with. The thing was a down right dud. I did a lot of research trying to fix that lighter. Didnt help on that one, but I'm glad I could pass it on.
