How to refill braun 1968 cylinderal lighter

When I have trouble fulling butane lighters I try and see the size if the little nozzle in filling port on the unit..
If you do not use the correct size adapter to fit the little nozzle it will spit back.
Are you using a regular butane pack?
Or are you using a lighter refill pack with all the adapters?
Once the lighter refill pack is empty you might be able to use them on the regular butane bottle...

There is a little black O-ring that sets on the refill valve.

Gas leaks in a lighter most commonly come from one of two places: the refill port, where you charge the lighter, and the exit port, where the gas exits to be burned.
To confirm where the lighter is leaking, try immersing the refill port in some water. If the lighter is charged and you see bubbles, that's the source of the leak. If you don't see a leak there, try holding the top of the lighter briefly under water to see if it bubbles there. Because electronics may be present at the burn port of the lighter, you want to make this immersion as short as possible. You also want to let the lighter dry completely before attempting to light it again, so you don't accidentally short-circuit something. If you're really worried about shorting it out, you can dab a bit of a soapy solution on the burn port with a Q-Tip instead of immersing the whole lighter tip in water.

Imagine the refill port like a bicycle valve--when you push down to open it, gas can flow in (or out). When you release pressure, that port is supposed to close up again completely. If it is not closing correctly, you can try to look for a piece of something--a shard of plastic or metal, a tiny grain of sand--that is preventing it from closing. However, because this valve is pretty well protected, it's less likely to be the source of the gas leak than the burn port.
The burn port is opened and closed by a mechanical switch. Possibly, a little door flaps open or you push a lever. Each of these triggers opens the burn port, and letting go of the control is supposed to let it close again. If you dropped the lighter on its head, it's possible that the linkage controlling things may have gotten bent or even broken. In that case, the gas port may no longer be closing properly.
The bad news is that once you have diagnosed your gas leak, you don't have a great many repair options. It may be possible to repair a bent or disconnected control at the lighter head, but it is rarely cost-effective to do so unless you simply have to unbend or re-align existing parts. Repair of the refill port, because it likely requires replacement of the gas storage tank, is also usually not cost-effective.

put new flint in it.

HOW TO REFILL BRAUN  SELF CLEAN WITH JUST THE RIGHT BREW. THE MISSING INGREDIENT BRAUN DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW

Turn the flame height adjuster on the bottom of the lighter to the lowest setting by turning it clockwise.
There are three different kinds of flame height adjusters: hand, thumbnail and screwdriver. If you have a screwdriver flame height adjuster, you will need to use a slotted screwdriver to turn the adjuster.
Hold the lighter away from your face. On the bottom of the lighter there is a refill valve. Push down on the valve with a screwdriver to let the compressed air out. You will know all the air has escaped when you no longer hear a hissing sound.
Turn the lighter upside down, so the flame end is facing the ground. Insert the stem of the clean butane fuel refill at 45 psi pressure into the refill valve and press down.
Hold the refill can in this position for five seconds.
Remove the stem of the refill can from the refill valve, and tap down on the valve once with a screwdriver to force out the remaining air.
Wait three to four minutes to let the gas reach room temperature before attempting to use the lighter again.
Turn the flame adjuster counterclockwise when you are ready to use the lighter again.
good luck

All rechargeable lighters have a refilling nozzle (usually at the bottom of lighter).
All the good quality gas refill cans have the nozzle adapters inside sovering cup.
Brake off the nozzle adapters off the cup and try to fit them onto lighters refilling nozzle.
When found the best fit adapter, put it onto gas refill cans nozzle and holding the lighter and can upside down connect all nozzles together and push together.
As these nozzles are made for mass production lighters, tey do not fit perfect and some gas leak will occure.
Anyway- few seconds will be enough to refill any lighter.
In case if your lighter do not refill by explained action, the refill nozzle in your lighter is damaged or faulty.
Hope it does help.

Do not forget to rate, please.

1. Ignore that other load of tosh.
2. Do not refill your lighter immediately after using it. You should allow enough time for the lighter to cool off.
3. The flame height adjuster on the bottom of the lighter should be set to minimum by turning CLOCKWISE with a small screw driver. The smaller, usually Phillips head, screw is for dismantling the lighter and should not be touched. The adjusting screw is a larger screw with a standard (slot) head. Some lighters come with a key to turn the adjusting screw. Some models have an adjusting wheel that requires no screwdriver. Please DO NOT FORCE the adjusting screw. If it is hard to turn in one direction this most likely means that the adjustment screw is already at the (-) or (+) limit. Try turning the other direction.
   
4. Push the refilling valve with a screwdriver to let out the air inside until no hissing sound is heard. Hold the lighter away from your face. Air inside the fuel tank prevents butane gas from being injected into the tank and causes the lighter to malfunction.
   
5. ALWAYS refill the lighter in an upside down position to avoid injecting air into the lighter.
   
6. Shake the butane gas refill can, press the stem of the refill can directly onto the refill valve on the bottom of the lighter. Keep them in a straight position and let the gas go into the lighter for about 5 seconds. Repeat for a shorter period if needed.
   
7. Allow 3-4 minutes to let gas and lighter components reach room temperature.
   
8. Turn the flame adjuster counter clockwise to reach the desired flame height.
   
9. Hold the lighter away from your face and body and ignite it carefully. If there is no flame, repeat the refilling process.
   
   
10. If you experience gas leakage with a hissing sound while refilling the lighter, either you are not holding the lighter and gas can in a straight position or the stem of the gas can is not suitable for the lighter. In this case you need to use an adaptor which is usually supplied with the gas can.
    
11. Premium butane is required to ensure optimum performance of your lighter. Lighters require the cleanest butane available at a pressure of 45 psi. Recommended using Premium Triple Refined Butane Gas that are packaged in 10-13 oz. cans with a metal fill tip nozzle. Non-premium butane with plastic fill tip nozzles are not recommended as they may cause inconsistent ignition and performance. Impurity of the gas can cause clogging of the burner valve or malfunctioning.
    
    WARNING: PLEASE, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR LIGHTER AWAY FROM THE REACH OF CHILDREN. USE COMMON SENSE IN HANDLING YOUR LIGHTER.
    
    Troubleshooting: If you are having problems with your lighter, make sure that:
    
    You are holding the lighter upside down while refilling. If you did not hold the lighter upside down, there will be air inside the butane tank. You will need to let the air out and try refilling again.
    
    The flame height is properly adjusted.
    
    You are not using cheap or incorrect fuel.
    
    There is no dirt or debris in the lighter. Try blowing forcefully into the top part of the unlit lighter.

unscrew the base off via philips screw push the inner workings out you will then see a lever which raises when button pressed .if this lever does not raise then it will not release gas to ignite .check the linkage to the button this is the main cause k coulbeck grimsby
