Hold the lighter using your dominant hand.
- Make sure the red button at the top of the lighter is facing outwards and not towards you.
Remember that the secret to lighting a lighter is using the right speed and the right angle.
If you still cannot activate your lighter, press harder on the toothed wheel, slightly reducing the distance between your thumb and the red button. In this way the force applied to the thumb will activate the gear wheel and, almost simultaneously, will cause the finger to press the red button.

Advice

The most frequently made mistake is the lack of speed in performing the movement with the thumb.Hold the lighter with all four fingers, as if you were making a fist on a stress ball, and perform the movement with only your thumb.Keep your hand steady and your grip firm.
The small cogwheel is the component that generates the sparks, while the red button, when pressed, releases the flow of gas.Now that you know how the components of a lighter work, you are able to perform the lighting movement with the right timing and the right naturalness.
Make sure you press the red button in one smooth, seamless motion, because pressing it once or twice without first turning the little gear wheel won't produce any results.Many people make this type of mistake when trying to operate a lighter.

Warnings

Always practice in a safe place and never leave your lighter near heat sources or highly flammable materials.
If your thumb starts to hurt, take a break and then try again.
