Frequently Asked Questions

How do I switch between soft flame and jet flame?

A single button controls both modes. A short tap activates the soft flame; a longer press activates the jet flame. The transition is immediate and requires no tools or adjustments.

Is the jet flame windproof?

Yes. The jet flame mode produces a torch-style flame that is wind-resistant and suitable for outdoor use in light to moderate wind conditions. The soft flame mode is not windproof and is best used indoors.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

Under normal use, the battery lasts up to two months per charge. Charge via the USB-C port using any standard USB-C cable — compatible with laptop chargers, power banks, and phone chargers. The integrated battery display shows remaining charge at a glance.

Does it still use butane?

Yes — the DualMode uses butane fuel for both flame modes. The electronic ignition replaces the flint or piezo mechanism, not the fuel. The visible butane window lets you monitor fuel levels without guessing. Refill with triple-refined butane as needed.
