HoneyStick Dissim Slim Torch Lighter Manual: Setup, Usage & Troubleshooting: Complete Setup & Usage Guide

Overview

The HoneyStick Dissim Metal Slim Torch Lighter is a compact, powerful torch lighter perfect for dabbing, cigars, and any application requiring high heat. The slim metal construction and adjustable flame make it a versatile tool.

Torch vs. Soft Flame

Why Torch?

Torch lighters produce a focused, high-temperature flame:

• Temperature: ~2,500°F (1,370°C)
• Wind resistant: Jet flame resists wind
• Focused: Directed heat application
• Fast: Heats surfaces quickly

Best Uses

• Heating dab rig bangers
• Lighting cigars
• Outdoor use (wind resistant)
• Any high-heat application

Getting Started

Initial Setup

1. Remove from packaging
2. Check fuel level
3. Locate flame adjustment dial
4. Test ignition (away from face)

First Refill (If Empty)

1. Turn lighter upside down
2. Bleed existing air from valve
3. Press butane canister into refill valve
4. Fill in short 2-3 second bursts
5. Wait 3 minutes before igniting

Basic Operation

Igniting

1. Ensure flame adjuster is set appropriately
2. Press and hold ignition button
3. Torch flame ignites
4. Direct flame toward target
5. Release button to extinguish

Flame Adjustment

Locate the flame adjustment dial (usually on bottom or side):

• Higher: Turn dial toward "+"
• Lower: Turn dial toward "-"
• Start low and increase as needed
• Don't set too high (wastes fuel, unsafe)

Using for Dabbing

Heating a Banger

1. Ensure banger is secure on rig
2. Ignite torch
3. Direct flame at bottom of banger
4. Heat evenly, moving flame around
5. Heat for 30-60 seconds (varies by banger)
6. Wait for cool-down before dabbing (20-60 seconds)

Temperature Tips

• Quartz: Heat longer, cools slower
• Titanium: Heats fast, cools fast
• Overheating burns concentrate
• Underheating wastes material
• Experiment to find sweet spot

Low-Temp Dabbing

1. Heat banger until red glow
2. Let cool 45-60 seconds
3. Insert concentrate
4. Cap and inhale

Refilling Instructions

When to Refill

• Flame weakens or won't ignite
• Multiple attempts needed for ignition
• Visible low fuel

Proper Refilling Technique

1. Bleed the tank:

   • Use small screwdriver or tool
   • Press refill valve until hissing stops
   • Releases old gas and air

2. Position lighter:

   • Turn completely upside down
   • Refill valve facing up

3. Insert butane:

   • Press canister nozzle firmly into valve
   • Use correct adapter if needed

4. Fill in bursts:

   • 2-3 second bursts
   • Not continuous flow
   • Stop when fuel sprays back

5. Wait before use:

   • 3-5 minutes minimum
   • Let reach room temperature

Butane Quality Matters

• Use triple-refined or better
• Low-quality butane clogs jets
• Impure butane causes sputtering
• Brand-name butane recommended

Flame Optimization

Blue Flame = Good

• Consistent blue flame indicates proper function
• Focused jet with minimal flicker
• Steady heat output

Yellow Flame = Problem

Yellow or orange flame indicates:

• Air in fuel system
• Impure butane
• Clogged jet

Fix: Bleed tank completely, refill with quality butane.
