Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for more mouth-watering Zengaz recipes!

There are so many recipes you can whip up in your kitchen using a torch, but before we get to that, let’s talk about choosing a torch.

There are a bunch of culinary torches out there. The one you choose doesn’t need to be expensive, as long as it provides a steady flame and has a decent grip.

For a first timer looking to get into the culinary torch world, the Zengaz ZT-68 is a good model. You’ll also need some butane canisters to fill them up. If you’ve ever filled up a refillable lighter, filling up a torch is the same idea.

You can carry one lighter only on board the aircraft, which must be kept on your person throughout the flight. You will be asked to leave any additional lighters at the security point, so please make sure you only carry one on your trip.

In short, no. Most airlines do not allow you to bring refills or extra fuel for your lighter on the airplane. Just make sure that your lighter is fully filled before taking it on your trip.

You can take empty Lighters without limits in either carry on and checked baggage, However it is advisable to take them in checked baggage (if they are necessary). Carrying multiple empty lighters may cause delays for you in the checkpoint security, so pack your lighters wisely and make sure they don’t contain gas or fuel.

You can pack up to two lighters in checked luggage if they are in DOT (Department of Transportation) approved cases. A DOT approved case is a durable, airtight case that prevents any fuel from leaking or sparks from igniting during travel. Stray sparks in an airplane cabin can lead to dangerous fires so the TSA is strict about how lighters are packed.

The lighter must be in your carry on bag or in your pocket. Don’t use your lighter on the plane as it is a fire hazard.

Jet-type flame lighters, such as Zengaz, are dynamic, innovative, and attractive. The first benefit is that the cigar can be lit quickly and thoroughly with an ultra-hot flame, and cigar lovers don’t need to smoke while igniting it.

The second reason is jet-type flame lighters are a good choice for outdoor activities. Considering they are windproof, they make it easy to light a cigar in challenging conditions such as on the beach or on a boat, or a windy evening in the garden. Torch lighters can also remedy uneven cigar combustion by lighting only the uneven part.

If you’re a fan of cigar accessories, at Zengaz we provide high-performance jet and torch lighters including single and double flame. You can check them out here!

Soft flame lighters burn at a lower temperature which is less intense than jet flame lighters, so they are less likely to scorch the cigar. Although it takes longer to light a cigar with a gentle flame, a cooler and slower fire preserves the natural flavor of a handmade cigar’s premium leaves and allows for better control of the temperature at the bottom.

The biggest drawback of soft flame lighters is their ability to prevent the wind from blowing out a cigar when it is lit outside. Therefore, you will need more patience when using a soft flame.

Traditional lighters—which are perfectly fine and have worked for hundreds of years—just aren’t as sophisticated as torch lighters. While normal lighters come in a variety of designs, like flick, flip-top, and stick lighters, their flames aren’t air-propelled. This causes the flames to dance and flicker, while torch lighters maintain a solid, consistent flame.

Jet flame lighters are the first choice, even the only one that is acceptable for the ritual activity of smoking. The reason is that the fuel that butane lighters burn does not affect the smell of tobacco itself unlike the traditional lighters. But a good torch lighter will serve you well in any given situation and it will last much longer as well!

All butane jet lighters require a touch of regular maintenance to guarantee optimal performance. Below, we address the most common jet lighter problems, answer basic questions, and provide some simple tips to keep your lighters in tip-top shape!

The most frequent reason a butane lighter will sputter or stop lighting is because it’s out of gas. It’s time to inject another dose of butane into the tank. We’ll discuss a few tricks for performing a thorough refill.

Another common cause that prevents a lighter from lighting is that its jets are clogged. Occasionally, dust or lint may clog the ignition valve, causing the lighter to malfunction. To clear obstructions such as these, blow a burst of air into the ignition valve.

To refill, flip your Zengaz lighter in an upside down position and insert the butane tank tip vertically downwards on the lighter’s refill valve. Press down firmly for about 5 seconds. Premium butane gas is highly recommended, as lower quality butane has been known to clog lighters.

After you’ve refilled the tank, wait for about three or four minutes before igniting the lighter. The temperature of the fuel is very cold when it is first released from the butane can. When the butane enters the tank of your lighter, it cools the entire lighter down. Once the lighter reaches room temperature, it is ready to work effectively again.

It happens all the time. You just refilled the tank and your lighter still won’t light. However, did you purge the lighter before you refilled it? Purging a lighter is also called “bleeding the lighter,” meaning you’re bleeding the air out of it.

Every time you inject butane into the tank to refill it, a tiny of bit of air sneaks in. After three or four refills, air accumulates inside the tank and prevents a full refill of butane from entering. As a result, your lighter will produce a sputtering or uneven flame, or even no flame at all, because the tank is releasing air through the jets instead of fuel when you hit the ignition.

Before storing your lighter, empty all fuel by pressing on the inlet valve with a small screwdriver (hold the lighter vertically while bleeding valve). If your lighter has not been used for a long period of time and appears to no longer be working, empty all fuel from the lighter then refuel and adjust the flame level (as mentioned in the re-felling instructions above). This should correct any problem.
