My Ronson stopped sparking

Randomly just stopped making a spark, no "click" you normally get, can hear the fuel coming out though. Anyone have this happen and more importantly have a way to fix it or is this one toast?

Re: My Ronson stopped sparking

hell, for a $4 lighter, just go grab some in bulk.

bought three of them, if anything happens to one, i got backups.

but to answer your question, no, i have no idea how one would go about fixing it

Air didn't work, only had air work when I get a click sound before (other brands though). I have no problem spending the money for a bunch, I just need to find them. Off to Wal*Mart I go I guess. This one was gifted a while ago and has done well.

Re: My Ronson stopped sparking

If the click stops working, the spark unit is dead. Had that happen to me before on a couple cheap lighters. Unless you have a non-functional one that you can cannibalize parts from, I'd just toss it and buy a new one (and 4-5 backups).
