If your Maduro M2 Cling Sound lighter isn’t sparking like it used to, the flint has probably worn down and needs replacing. Luckily, this model features a built-in spare flint system that makes replacement easy—even when you’re on the go.
Knowing how to change the flint on your lighter not only restores reliable ignition but also ensures smooth performance for your cigars and everyday use. This guide walks you through the correct process—from opening the flint slider to installing the new flint properly.
Why Flint Replacement Matters
The flint is the part that produces the spark when you roll the wheel. Over time, friction wears it down, so a lighter won’t fire without a fresh flint. Regular replacement keeps your torched cigar lighter functioning perfectly every time.
Tools You’ll Need
-
Replacement flint (official or compatible size)
-
Toothpick or small non-metal tool (optional, for positioning)
Step-by-Step Flint Replacement
1. Open the Flint Slider Correctly
Locate the flint slider on the lighter’s top. Press the little button straight down vertically to unlock it. This will allow the slider to pop open.
Tip: If the flint is very short and the spring has weak force, you can gently push the slider back with your thumb—it will still pop open.
2. Understand What You’re Seeing
Inside, you’ll find two flints:
-
The one at the back — spare flint
-
The one at the front — active flint that contacts the spark wheel
3. Replace the Worn Flint
When your active flint is worn:
-
Remove the spare flint from the back compartment.
-
Place it in the front slot where it makes full contact with the spark wheel.
-
Use a toothpick or small tool to push it forward if needed.
Then insert a new spare flint into the back compartment so you’re always ready for next time.
4. Reinstall the Slider Properly
When putting the slider back:
-
Pay attention to the internal latch — there’s a small groove that needs to go behind this latch.
-
Use the protruding front part to press the latch and pull the slider forward.
-
When you hear a click, the latch has snapped into place and the flint replacement is complete.
Quick Tips for Best Performance
-
Always keep a spare flint in your lighter.
-
Use high-quality flints for consistent sparks.
-
If the lighter still doesn’t ignite, check fuel levels and clean any debris from the ignition area.
