![]() ![]() There's a decent chance it could be designed to screw in as well. It looks like a successful fill nozzle would be big enough to completely fill the opening, making contact with the rubber grommet on the outside edges and sealing the chamber, plus some kind of a pin in the middle of the nozzle to push in the center pin and allow gas to flow around the edges of the center pin and in. I had intended to send them in for repairs (in an envelope on my desk waiting to go to USPS) and then I heard about the bankruptcy. I used them both for a bit and eventually they both stopped working. I don't have my camera handy to take a macro photo of the fuel port, but its design seems to be a a deep recessed circular port with a rubber grommet around the outside edge and a solid pin in the center that you push in. 1 So awhile back I came across a pair of Colibri lighters that had been pretty heavily used but still functioned for dirt cheap. Lighter looks very very similar to this one, and is stamped "Colibri 2001 Japan" on the bottom. It appears to spark and work just fine mechanically, with just one hitch: I can't figure out how to load it with butane!!!!! Apparently it is an electronic ignition soft flame. While cleaning out the last of my grandfather's things I happened across a a decent looking Colibri lighter.
