How to Replace Flint in a Scorch Torch Lighter – Step-by-Step Guide

A Scorch Torch lighter is built to last, but even the best torch will eventually need a flint replacement. If your lighter is clicking but not sparking, or the flame struggles to ignite, chances are the flint is worn out.

But I've got good news for you. Replacing the flint is a quick, 2-minute fix; you don't even need any tools. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process step by step, ensuring your Scorch Torch lights up smoothly every time. In case you are facing a different problem, I've got you covered also for that. SmokeMEGA has already posted a guide to fix every problem of Scorch Torch on your own.

How to Tell If Your Scorch Torch Flint Needs Replacement

Before you start, confirm that the flint is really the issue. Here’s how to diagnose it:

✅ Your lighter clicks, but no spark appears – This is the #1 sign of a dead flint.
✅ The spark is weak or inconsistent – A fresh flint produces a strong, reliable spark.
✅ You’ve had the lighter for 6+ months – Even with light use, flints wear down over time.

If your lighter isn’t sparking at all, try cleaning the ignition area first (dust can sometimes block the flint). If it still doesn’t work, proceed with the replacement.

Step-by-Step: How to Replace Flint in a Scorch Torch Lighter

What You’ll Need

• A new flint (standard torch lighter flints work—avoid cheap, low-quality ones)

• A small flathead screwdriver (optional, for some models)

Step 1: Locate the Flint Compartment

Most Scorch Torch lighters have one of two designs:

1. External Flint Wheel – The flint is under a small screw or cap near the ignition button.

2. Internal Flint System – Requires removing the ignition wheel (less common in newer models).

Check your user manual if unsure, or look for a tiny screw near the spark wheel.

Step 2: Remove the Old Flint

• If there’s a screw: Gently unscrew it and lift the spring out. The old flint will be underneath.

• If it’s a press-fit system: Use a small tool (like a paperclip) to push the spring down and slide the flint out.

Be careful! the spring is small and can fly out if released suddenly.

Step 3: Insert the New Flint

1. Drop the new flint into the chamber (it should fit snugly).

2. Place the spring back on top—it should press firmly against the flint.

3. Reattach any screws or covers securely.

Pro Tip: If the spring feels loose, the flint might be too small; try a different brand.

Step 4: Test the Spark

Before refilling with butane, flick the ignition a few times. You should see a strong, bright spark. If not:

• Check if the flint is seated correctly.

• Ensure the spring has enough tension.

Keeping Your Scorch Torch Flint in Top Shape

✔ Use high-quality flints – Cheap flints wear out faster and can jam the mechanism.
✔ Clean the ignition area monthly – Dust and debris can slow down the flint’s performance.
✔ Store your lighter properly – Keep it in a dry place to prevent moisture damage.
