Troubleshooting
These symptoms are not... defects
Since disposable lighters have been widely spreading around the world， there are unexpectedly many people do not have knowledge to refill lighters with butane gas or oil, and to replace flint stone, and many do not understand at all the mechanism or structure of a cigarette lighter.
