So, you want to make a BIC lighter flame bigger. The first thing you’ll need to do is gather your required materials. Here is what you’ll need:

• Small pliers
• Your BIC lighter

Next, you’ll want to follow these instructions:

1. Take the Cap Off

So, what is the cap of a BIC lighter? That is the silver part of the top of your lighter. You want to be careful not to remove the wheel, so don’t be overly aggressive.

On the other hand, you will need to put some grit into this since the cap isn’t supposed to easily come off.

2. Twist the Adjuster Or Knob to the Right

Now you’re wondering what the dial is. That’s the circular object. You may or may not see an adjuster, depending on your BIC lighter. The adjuster is a black piece with a little handle.

If you do see an adjuster, you’ll want to flip it to the right. If you do not, you’ll need to use your plier and twist the knob to the right.

If you do not have an adjuster, you’re done with making the BIC lighter flame bigger, and you can put it back on the cap.

3. Lift the Adjuster Off the Cog & Twist it Left & Then Right

Next, if you do have an adjuster, lift that above the cog, and then you’ll want to twist it all the way to the left and push it back down.

Now, depending on how large you want your flame to be, you’ll want to turn your adjuster to the right.

If you want a huge flame, turn it all the way to the right. If you’re OK with just a slightly larger flame than the usual flame, twist it to the center.
