Accessory Discussion / Reviews>Ronson Jet Lite Modification (2012)
badbriar 08:23 PM 09-29-2014
Bought two Jet Lites and did the mods. First went fine without a hitch. Second was going along and the pin holding the spring/flip cover assembly fell out into the carpet. Go figure...nowhere to be seen. So, used the other short pin for that and was a pin short. Finally just used a stout toothpick and snapped it off to size. Put the beast together and...works fine! Cool little torch lighter! Word of advice- don't turn the lighter upside down after removing the first two pins. That third one is not easy to get back in place, being under stress from the short spring! :-)

cool I found a Ronson JetLite at Wal-Mart for $3.57 These are made or distributed buy Zippo .
I opened it up removed the brass limiter ring ,put the little o-ring back on.
I did not remove the pins to get at the spring ,I used a small pair of needle nose pliers to pull the spring out.
Save your receipt this lighter has a one year warranty.

I would guess the warranty is voided once you modify it. fortunately you can just replace it for under $4 :-)

My daddy always told me that just because you can do something, that doesn't make it right.

:-) YMMV
