Share
Welcome to the world of S.T. Dupont Premium Jet lighters!

To ensure your lighter performs flawlessly, we’ve prepared this guide covering refills, flame adjustments, and troubleshooting tips.
1. Which Gas Refill Is Required?
All S.T. Dupont Premium Jet lighters (Slimmy, Twiggy, and Biggy models) require S.T. Dupont Premium Butane Gas to ensure clean and efficient combustion.
Using the correct refill guarantees consistent ignition, optimal flame performance, and longevity for your lighter.
2. How to Refill the Gas
Refilling your Premium Jet lighter is quick and easy:
Position the lighter: Hold the lighter upside down to prevent air from entering the fuel chamber.
Attach the refill canister: Firmly press the nozzle of the appropriate S.T. Dupont gas canister into the refill valve. Hold for 3-5 seconds.
Stabilize before use: Let the lighter rest for a minute after refilling to allow the gas to settle.
3. How to Adjust the Flame Height
The Slimmy, Twiggy, and Biggy models feature adjustable flames, so you can tailor the flame height to your needs:
Locate the flame adjustment screw on the bottom of the lighter.
Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the screw:
Turn clockwise to decrease the flame height.
Turn counterclockwise to increase the flame height.
Test the flame after adjustments to ensure it’s at the desired height.
4. Troubleshooting Common Issues
Issue: The lighter won’t ignite.
Confirm that the lighter has been refilled with the correct gas.
Check the ignition mechanism for any debris or blockages that might prevent sparking.
Use a can of compressed air to clean your lint trap and flame ignitor frequently.
Issue: The flame is weak or inconsistent.
Ensure the lighter is fully refilled and the gas canister used matches your lighter’s finish.
Use a can of compressed air to clean your lint trap and flame ignitor frequently.
Issue: The jet flame sputters.
