Problems with a Vector Gear Lighter?
I just got a new Vector Gear lighter and I'm puzzled by a few things about it.
The biggest one is that it doesn't immediatly shut off after you release the gas, it stays lit for a sec or two and then shuts off. Is this normal with this lighter? I've bled, filled, re-bled, re-filled, adjusted the flame adjust, only used 3x or greater fuel etc... Any thoughts?

My colibri trifecta does this when I first fill it up really full. Try using it a bit and see what happens. I think its the pressure.

I get the same thing after I fill my Colibri and my Nibo, but it stops after a few lights. I'm using Vector Triple Refined gas.

Turn the gas down a bit and it won't stay light soo long. That is the extra gas in the tubing between the tank and the jet burning off, and at the highest setting there is more gas left over.

I have this problem with my Nibo but not my Colibri Vortex or Belmont. It's a bit annoying, but I guess I'll get used to it.
