    broke butane tip fix

    Went to refill my lighter and dropped my can of Jet Line butane . Now if I insert the tip into my lighter it spews out cause of a crack down close to were the nozzle goes into the can . Has anyone have this happen and have any luck doing one of the repairs I have pulled up on google or should I just toss it ? It's about half full still . Granted no real loss but hate to let it go to waste if can fix it .

    Look for a brand that includes several tips. Xikar used to come with a ring like show below. Or check your cap and see if it has tips inside that you can break off.

    ^^^ probably your best bet - if one will slide down over the nozzle far enough to cover the crack
    No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

    The extra fill inserts in the cap don.t go down far enough to cover the crack but been playing with it and as long as I make sure and push down strait and hold it real firm I was able to refill the lighter . If it leans over any at all or let up any it will start leaking out the crack .

    Maybe a bit of epoxy or superglue on the crack?
