Wow this thread is open for a long time and probably will be used for years,well just to say Bic lighters are a must for some folks,about five years ago they were a very important part of my daily activities so here is why i wished i had a refillable one at the time and sentimental is/was part of it.i was a crack cooker/user i bought a brick of Bic's (the block of 50)that are on the counter where we buy them separately,I was going through them like they were out of style but just for a test i bought a brick of them (50) and i was out and bumming lights from people in just a little over two weeks,now that's a lot of cooking with a Bic,the torches didn't last as long as a Bic,they ran out too fast,but in the process i did invent a lighter pipe that you don't have to takes your hand of the wheel when driving to light your pipe,

are you sure about the holding the button to keep the valve in the open position to refill?i'm thinking they have a one way check valve in there because i have tried that and all it did was blast butane all over and i was pushing all kinds of pressure,didn't work for me
