Does Your Lighter Hiss, But Not Light?
Whether you smoke a pipe, cigars or cigarettes, youll need a source of flame. Matches can work, but lighters are far more convenient and, as they are reusable, theyre more economical, to boot. However, if your lighter will not ignite, it can be a frustrating experience, particularly if you know that youve refilled the butane and that your flint is in good condition.
When the igniter of the lighter is pressed down, no flame appears. The lighter does, however, emit a hissing sound, as of fuel escaping. What could be going on? Whats wrong with your lighter? Actually, this situation can be remedied quite easily, though youll need to troubleshoot your lighter a bit first.
Before doing anything else, make sure that your lighter is not blocked with lint, dirt or debris. Even a small obstruction can keep your lighter from working properly. While checking this, keep your fingers well away from the igniter, in order to avoid potential harm. If you locate debris, remove it carefully and then attempt to ignite your lighter. If it still fails to light, youll need to dig a bit further.
The most common problem that causes a hissing sound with a failure to ignite, is the flame height selector being set too high. Check your flame adjuster to determine just how high you have that flame set. On disposable lighters, this will be a simple plastic slide set on the back of the lighter, just below the base of the metal lighter cap. On more expensive jet lighters, the flame adjuster will most likely be located on the bottom of the lighter, usually near (or surrounding) the refill port.
To adjust the flame height, youll need a very small flathead screwdriver. Turn the flame adjuster towards the minus symbol. Be careful not to turn it too far, though. Make a small adjustment toward the minimum end of the range and then attempt to light the lighter once more. If you still hear the hissing sound, but the lighter does not ignite, then you need to continue adjusting the flame height. You should do this in increments, in order to ensure that you are able to achieve the highest flame height for your needs, while still being able to light the lighter.

Can I connect solar powered christmas lights to a normal christmas light set?
Do you know how christmas lights can connect to other lights so that you only plug in one wire in the outlet? So do solar panels have an adapter so you can plug in normal lights in it.
Hey Genius there is only one way to do it, but first let me explain what you up against. Most solar Christmas strings that I have worked on run on 6 volts, though many are other low voltages, such as 3 or 4. Household power in the US is 120 VAC, other parts of the world 240. I have never heard of a solar Christmas light set with a household adapter, that would defeat the entire purpose. Now if you are real handy with wiring, you can do this. Disconnect the solar lights from the solar/battery housing. Now take a couple of D batteries, and try connecting them across the two wires that come from the end of the light string. Start with one battery (1.5 volts) then 2 (3 volts) and so on until the string lights up the correct brightness. Once you achieve this, count the number of D batteries and multiply by 1.5, this will give you the string voltage. Now if you want to get a converter that will run that string on AC, just write down the string voltage, and go to Radio Shack, and look for a wall pack that has the same output voltage in DC.
I'm betting this is not convenient, but maybe a good hobbyist project if you like that sort of thing. If so, you probably have a wall pack around someplace with that output voltage. There are simple ways to convert 12 volt DC from your car to the lower string voltage with some simple inexpensive diodes and run the string on your car, but there isn't sufficient space here to explain it, try google if you're interested.
We sort of learned this the hard way because I had some solar strings that quit, and discovered the battery packs had all gone bad. Now we run them on a lawn tractor battery that is kept charged with a 30 watt solar panel hanging on the fence. Works quite well. Good luck, Rudydoo
