29roadie MichaelRothenpieler Why is it that the Victorinox "Flames" don't work? There is a piece of foam at the top of the fuel valve inside that has usually been compressed so hard that gas will not pass through. They refer to it as regulating foam. It’s just a defuser essentially that atomizes the fuel making it not just shoot out as a liquid. Without this foam it would just put itself out and shoot fuel out. It’s an easy fix by the looks of it but you have to take the lighter completely out of the knife to take it apart. The fuel adjustment has a safety device on it that will not allow the adjuster to be backed out of the lighter. If you remove this safety you could just unscrew the adjuster and get access to the valve should you need to replace it again down the road.
MichaelRothenpieler 29roadie ok, danke für die ausführliche Antwort. Dann halte ich es mit Dir und belasse mein Champ Flame und XXLT so…
29roadie MichaelRothenpieler OK, thanks for the detailed answer. I'll go with your advice and leave my Champ Flame and XXLT as they are.. If you want the parts to rebuild them I can just give them to you. But once you pull them apart…. well you know.
29roadie MichaelRothenpieler Just so I understand this correctly; your professional opinion is that I’m not crazy. 🤪 Wow, that’s a relief. 😅 I would have bet money on the opposite myself. 😁 It’s ok that I quote you in the future isn’t it?
MichaelRothenpieler 29roadie ja, klar. Ich gelte dahingehend schon als Therapeut in der Szene und kann das gut beurteilen 😜😉🤣
eisenherz6 29roadie wenn du dich von einen CampFlame trennen willst, ich würde dir gerne dann eines 💰, schreib mich einfach an, wenn es so weit ist.
29roadie eisenherz6 Thanks, yes I will let you know. My plan is to sit on them for a while though. Cheers,
29roadie SchiefBe Very nice! That knife has traveled to the other side of the world and back. Is this for you collection or do you think you might use it every day? I would like to find one. I only have the poor man’s version.
SchiefBe 29roadie Ehrlich gesagt würde ich gerne zwei davon haben. Eines zum Sammeln und eines zum benutzen 😅 Mal sehen derzeit ist es noch in der Vitrine…… Wenn ich noch eins finde eventuell ohne Zubehör und Schachtel dann nehm ich noch eins für den Alltag.
