How can I get it refilled or get its flint replaced? It says lifetime refillable for use.

You can refill the lighter yourself by removing the lighter insert from the case, which is quite simple because it slides out easily. When the insert is removed, you will see a screw on the bottom of the insert. Carefully remove the screw, and a spring will slide out...just drop a new flint into the hole and replace the spring and tighten the screw.

Call the manufacturer. More than likely they will ship you a new set for free. Mine got milk in them (user error) so I called thinking I had to buy a new one. But nope-they replaced them for free!

I think it would work fine as long as it's not under water for a long period of time. When you screw the cap on there is an O-ring between the cap and lighter, that should make it water tight. Worst case dry it out and replace the flint and it should be fine.

Check on Amazon but check the reviews first to see if people are happy with the product. I haven't used mine for a few years since the refill prices are quite high.

You must go to an oreck store and make them for free repair it. Make sure to tell them you bought it brand new and show proof. I was given the run around by a sales rep but I did find my amazon receipt stating it was bought new and they fixed it for free. Sorry it broke on you. Oreck should stand by their products and they now have franchised out.

I would contact the company and see if they can do anything for you. I've had mine for quite a while and have had no issues and I use mine everyday.

No, it does not have the capability to be refilled. Your best bet is to stock up when you buy them.

I suggest you buy a different machine all together and be done with terrible one. Unless you are super happy with this machine. With that said, everything is replaceable. I'm sure if you spend 5 minutes on the web you'll find a replacement carafe.

I don't know exactly where to get a replacement. The unit is sold by several different stores under several different brand names. The one I have is branded Megahome and is model MH943T. It came from Nutriteam, Inc. (fulfillment by Amazon), so I'd start with them. Google says they are in Ripton, Vermont and their support phone is 1-800-785-9791. They have a good BBB rating. If that doesn't work, try Google or Bing on just that model number and see what turns up. Good luck. As to the second part of your question, as I understand it the glass insert was added after the unit had been being sold for quite a while because some people are very freakish about plastics and worried about contamination of their freshly purified water were it to come into contact with something plastic. Same reason the carafe is glass. So, no, it's not needed for the operation of the distiller. You still want to use the charcoal filter medium though, because there are some chemicals in some locale's tap water that boil off at temperatures lower than water and thus make it through the distillation process. Fluorine (not Fluoride) is one, if I remember correctly.

you would have to contact the manufacture. It was a gift for my grandson, he uses it.

Hello,Elaine my dear.You could contact the mfgr.,or do what I did. I lived in Ms.when I gpt mine,and used it almost daily walking to my spot on this pretty creek. I called it Eden,it was so beautiful! (Got bit by a water moccosin there too-there are snakes in Eden)!Anyway,I about wore the tip out,so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a rubber Stryker tip for a crutch. (Cane size is too small). Then I filled it with Permatex Ultra-Blue gasket maker-waterproof-and let it set over night. Still have that same tip on it,three years later. Oh,the little deal that keeps it from sinking in? Leave it on.Hope this helps you,Elaine. Thanks for letting me help you.Steve Hello,Elaine my dear.You could contact the mfgr.,or do what I did.

Yes I am having the same issues. I have replaced it twice. I wrote the manufacturer and they sent me a new base. But they are not lasting more than 3 months. They told me that they make quality products. I believe they need to go to a glass with metal base.

I don't know. But I wouldn't think you should ever need to replace it since it is pure solid amber. Perhaps it has become clogged with human oils. I think cleaning it with alcohol might help.

This was a pain for me as well. If there are any dive shops around you they might be able to help. Also welding supply shops are a good source for CO2 refills. They may ask you to exchange your brand new tank instead of refilling it. Good luck. Dick's sporting goods might be able to help but they didn't have a large enough scale when I visited mine. They usually refill paint ball tanks.
