It may be that the Butane you are using is no good. Thoses torch lighters like a good grade fule. Extra filtering or something i don't know. But I do know my lighters burn better using some fuel then others. Try a different butane before you return it.

I agree that inferior butane can cause issues. However, it has been my experience that if impurities in the butane are the culprit, switching to good stuff will not fix an existing problem, only help prevent future or worsening problems. If it is clogged it needs to go to the repair facility.

Yeah I always use triple refined so thats not it unless butain has a shelf life of less than a year or two.
