Colibri lighter question

I just refilled my Colibri Ambassador for the first time and noticed that after filling it the flame doesn't seem as tall.

Upon first strike the flame is the previous size, but 1/2 a second later it is smaller.

Any idea what is up here?

Did you bleed the tank of air before refilling?

You might try igniting the lighter then adjusting the flame upward then resetting it to where you want. Close the lighter then reignite. See if that helps.

Right now I have it adjusted all the way up. But I will try igniting the lighter and adjusting the flame while lit to see if that helps.

Thanks!

Miracles we work right away. The impossible takes a little longer.
