This is a review of a new lighter I got...

It is a colibri lighter and I really don't want to trash it. I tried cleaning i out with canned air, but no luck. I have check sparke and when I press the pin on the bottom, gas escapes.

empty the entire gas tank, then refill it again. wait about 5 min and try to light it. you should hear a hissing sound that means you have enough gas coming out. not too loud of a hissing sound because that might blow out the flame as it's trying to light. you need a good mixture of the right gas for proper ignition. since you said that there's a spark, it should light. oh and make sure the spark is consistant so it doesn't miss fire. if it's still not working then something is wrong with that butane gas, try another brand. maybe it's not refined. get butane gas that are triple or ultra refined.

i like butane lighters but the dozens i have purchased in the past (ranging from $4 to $80) stop working after i refill them. ot the first time but after three or for refils they sop working. i have heard it depends on the quality of the butane but i have used colibri brand butane (i have heard it is of the purest quality) and still found the same problem. any advice? or do these things just not work long term?

I think most of them are made to be disposable. You might check on line for reviews, and be willing to spend a bit more for the best quality. Or try the other lighters that use fluid instead. My mom has a Zippo that is as old as I am!
Live well and do good
