accordse Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Hello, just signed up here. I did a search on Dupont and tried to find an answer to my question but I couldn't really find an answer. I just bought a Dupont Lighter and having some problems refilling it. The lighter came with an adapter but when I fill it, the butane shoots back out. No matter what I do, it always does that. I was looking into getting the adapter and someone mentioned it briefly on here. My question is, what adapter should I get. I think someone mentioned the Yellow/Gold UG adapter. Would be that one. Does it work well? On the ebay auction, it says it only works for REAL Dupont lighters, so I'm wondering if it works with reps as well.

JoJo35 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Welcome aboard! Here's the item number from the bay: 380071301115 Give him a call and let him know which lighter you have, and that it's a fake. He'll send you the proper brass adapter. Make sure you buy his refill fluid, it comes with rubber tube gaskets to prevent leakage. You may also want to visit a home depot or similar place to get a few tiny o-ring gaskets to fit over the thread part of the adapter where it meets the lighter, this will further prevent gas from spraying all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosk Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just get a Purilite butane gas lighter refill bottle. It comes with adapters that will work with the dupont lighters....I have like 8 of them and they all work. The brass refill adapter will work too but u have to get the nozzle flush with the brass. Yes, gas shoots out but it still refills. Also, stick the lighter in the freezer for 20 min to cool it down. The dupont single charge gas bottles will work the with the lighters too but that's an expensive option. GL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accordse Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I ordered one through this one Ebay seller. Not the one JoJo mentioned, it was actually through another sellers. I purchased the Yellow/Gold UG adapter. The weird thing is when I used the plastic adapter the lighter came with, and tried to fill it with butane, it ended up shooting back out. Not just a little but the whole thing. I tried filling it and then releasing the leftover gas, turns out there was nothing left in there. I'll try the adapter I purchased and see if it works. I'm not too sure what "nozzle flush" means.

fakemaster Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Or you could use a Dupont refill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmastah12 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 oh and make sure you dont turn it on between 7 and 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accordse Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I bought the Yellow/Gold UG adapter and it doesn't work. I think I got the wrong color and now I have a useless adapter. If anyone is interested in taking it off my hands, I'll let it go for $10.00 with free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
