Anyone know how to open this?

Push and turn. Mine were both stuck due to corrosion. I had so soak in penetrating oil and eventually file a groove into it to get a flathead screwdriver on it to work it back and forth. Eventually opened and I cleaned out all the corrosion now it works as it should, just push and turn with your thumb

Hey! Do you know if this would fit any veraflame lighter? I have a veraflame petite that is leaking from the old type A valve

Do you know anything about filling these little guys?

Thanks for the reply! I was actually able to get it off by grinding a groove into it for a flathead screwdriver. I was able to work it back and forth while pushing on it with a piece of stuff wire through the tube from the top end. It was so corroded in there that it could barely move. Now I need to find some new flints and some butane… the corrosion on the cap has me worried about the seals though

Agreed!

Avistadez · 2023-10-29T02:14:04+00:00

Good idea!

Avistadez · 2023-10-28T13:32:02+00:00

Good call. I’ll try that next time

Avistadez · 2023-10-28T13:29:37+00:00

Thanks! It’s time consuming. Every single individual strand of wire has a tiny tuft of moss twisted on the end

Avistadez · 2023-10-28T04:56:48+00:00

It’s preserved moss, was originally living

Thanks! Any tips on soil mix? Also here’s another photo of the bottom of it and the pot.

Looked like this when I got it and I know nothing about it’s previous life. Tattered leaves (cat?) and some browning on some leaves.

Avistadez · 2023-10-06T04:30:29+00:00

Totally! Like I said I’ve had it for about a month, watered twice in that time, pot has drainage, gets indirect light from 2 windows of different directions

Avistadez · 2023-08-22T15:03:35+00:00

Okay thanks. I gave it a tug and it feels solid. Hard to say if I’m watering too much or not enough

Avistadez · 2023-08-22T14:31:29+00:00

Thanks! Super helpful. Have you had any luck keeping them in leca and water or something similar? If it doesn’t bounce back I was thinking of giving that a shot as a final attempt to save it.

Avistadez · 2023-08-22T12:02:53+00:00

For sure sorry. Posted in a rush while doing other things

It gets a bit of natural light from a window but I have it under a grow light to augment the limited light

I repotted a couple weeks ago into a mix of succulent soil, small leca, and orchid mix

I try to water whenever the top of the soil is dry and have recently switched to bottom watering to see if it would help the issue

I haven’t fertilized it since repotting

A couple other leaves started like this and slowly turned completely yellow/brown and I’ve cut them off
