The process of adjusting the sound on a Dupont lighter is a combination of fine-tuning and understanding the mechanics of your unique device. To modify the sound of the ‘cling’ that Dupont lighters are famous for, follow these simple steps:
Open the lighter’s cap. The sound emitted by a Dupont lighter primarily comes from the cap, which hits against the body when opened.
Locate the screw at the back of the cap. This screw is responsible for adjusting the tension of the cap.
Using a screwdriver, gently tighten or loosen the screw. A tighter screw results in a louder ‘cling’, while a looser screw will produce a softer sound. Be careful not to over-tighten, as this may cause the screw to strip or the cap to crack.
Test the sound by flicking open the cap. If you’re not satisfied with the sound, repeat the previous step until you achieve your desired ‘cling’.
