How can I turn the flame up on refillable butane lighters?

Take off the metal cover and lift up the small tab that you have to push, so that it doesn't turn the little wheel, and turn the tab all the way to the left. Place it down, so that it meshes with the circle and turn it to the right. Repeat until desired flame is achieved.

It may be illegal for you to refill that cylinder so be careful.  Call a vendor who sells cylinders prefilled with gases to any combination you need.

TRY IT ON THE BARBECUE ,WHILE ITS LIT

Use water, or dip your finger in some of the wax and drip it ontop of the wick.

oooo this is really fun\nget a match or lighter, and some hairspray (or other flammable spray)  light the match/lighter and spay the hairspray/other liquid toward the flame.  the flame will flare off.\nanother great way is to light a candle (the tall kind).  then turn around and put your rear end behind the candle and fart.  the gas in farts are flammable.  another way is to hold the lighter/match to your butt and fart.\nhope i helped you\nbye

Yes, a blowtorch WOULD ignite it. I don't know the temperature it burns at, but I've ignited it with a blowtorch before....

Be more specific. There is a fuel valve you have to turn to get the fuel to go and then prime the carburator, then give the pull starter a couple of light pulls then pull a few good pulls and it should start up.

I use one called a Smokey.\nCheck this one out on ebay...

get a big bottle. (i.e. a coke bottle. just make sure it's big.) ok, put about 1/2 a cup of water in it, and get some matches. Hold the match and put it in the bottle for about 5 seconds. Put it out immediatly if it touches your fingers. Then, put the cap back on the bottle quickly and squeeze the bottle. For best effect, but it against some light.

It depends on the torch.  The small toches you buy in a hardware store usually use propane.  Some use MAPP (methylacetylenepropadiene) gas, which produces a hotter flame.  Both of those use oxygen from the air to burn the gas.  Propane torches are used for soldering and general heating.  If MAPP gas is used, brazing ("hard" soldering) can also be done.  If you want to weld, ie, join metals by fusing them together, an oxy-acetylene torch is used.  It has two tanks, one for O2 and one for C2H2.  Also, for welding aluminum, hydrogen is often used instead of acetylene, because it produces a somewhat lower temperature better suited to lower melting point of that metal.  You can also get little torches (at places like Radio Shack) that use butane, and are filled from the kind of cannisters that are used to fill butane lighters.  These torches are mainly used for soldering.  There are two types of torches I've seen that are worth mentioning, but which are very uncommon today.  There's the classic "blow-torch," which uses gasoline.  You pump them up, just like you do with a Coleman stove.  Then there's a little torch that used to be pretty popular, that ran on alcohol.  It had two small cylinders. One was equipped with a tube and nozzle, which were fed with alcohol.  The other held a wick soaked in alcohol, which heated up the tube, and vaporized the fuel.  These torches didn't produce a very high temperature, but were useful for soldering.

OH CAN IT EVER. It's call blue-flaming or torqing. You lay on you back and throw your legs back over your head as far as you can. Hold a lighter (not a match) near the butt-opening. If you get too close you create some risk. Build up a doozy and let 'er rip while the lighter is going. You have to exhaust the whole thing, or else you risk bringing some of the fire back inside of you while your butt-opening is still, well, open. So push it all out. Some of the flames can get huge. Just watch out for the "banana torq". It wraps around and burns bad things.

The biggest problem likely will be that the filament must glow hot enough to give off light and it will quickly burn up if there is any oxygen present in the bulb.  Since your bulb must last only a minute at one candle power, perhaps you can burn up the oxygen in the "bulb" with a small lit candle before "sealing" it.  Many radio vacuuum tubes used "getters" to remove traces of oxygen from the vacuum - just like your candle.  You might try a glass jar with a small twist lid which you would twist tight after the candle goes out.  The filament might be a strand of steel wool held between two copper wires that enter the jar (from the top) through the cap (glued to exclude oxygen).  Start with one cell then add more cells in series (bumper-to-bumper with none reversed) to get the right voltage without melting the steel wool.  Results will depend on how fine or course the steel wool is and how long the strand is (to obtain enough resistance to current flow).  The longer it is (a loop?) the more light.  You can twist off the cap and cover the jar to try other filaments or replaced melted ones.  Good luck.

light the wick then RUN

have a resivoir for the alcohol, have a wick that will pull the alcohol up, keep other flammables away from the flame source, have a fire extinguisher ready, don't drink the isopropyl alcohol.  Use the tip of the blue portion of the flame for heat.

Insufficient oxygen available for complete combustion.  The preferred reaction is of the hydrogen portion of the fuel compound with O2, leaving most or some of the carbon uncombined.  You apparently are referring to gas burners but the same is true in oil lamps.  \n\nhttp://www.lampguild.org/Default.html?Defaulttext.shtml&1

just turn the handle, dont over do it too much though. go in fast, let up on the speed and turn hard then gas it again

Throw some live coals on 'em, and a pint or so of unleaded.  Stand nearby with a hose.  Make sure you do this away from things you care about.
