I have some jet lighters in my shop. I’m not a smoker but they are useful for other things too. My problem is that they seem to not work at all?

When I buy them they are fine, push the button, clear “click” sound and a fine hot jet of fire. After a while though, they simply won’t fire anymore, even though the little window shows that there’s plenty of gas inside.

Are these also using the normal propane/butane as regular lighters?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the lighter gas we get here in the states is also a mix of gases, I’d be lying if I said I ever read the whole can so maybe it even says so somewhere in the fine print, but I’ve only ever seen it marked as butane here, so I figured I’d throw it out there in case someone reading it tried to refill their lighter from their grill tank
