Frequently Asked Questions

Is the VistaFlame windproof?

Yes. The VistaFlame uses a single jet (torch) flame, which is significantly more wind-resistant than a soft flame lighter. It performs reliably outdoors in light to moderate wind conditions, making it well-suited for garden, terrace, or golf course use.

What is the difference between the Straight and Tilt head versions?

The Straight head fires the flame directly upward — the classic lighter orientation. The Tilt head has an angled nozzle that directs the flame at roughly 45°, making it easier to light the foot of a cigar without tilting the lighter itself. Many smokers find the tilt head more comfortable for toasting and lighting larger ring gauge sticks.

What butane should I use to refill it?

Use a high-quality, triple-refined butane for best results. Low-quality butane can clog the jet and cause misfires. Before refilling, bleed the tank using a Cigarspear® or TitanTool® to release any trapped air, then refill in a cool environment.

How do I adjust the flame height?

Turn the large dial at the base of the lighter clockwise to reduce the flame and anti-clockwise to increase it. Start at a medium setting and adjust to your preference — a moderate flame is sufficient for most and conserves fuel.
