Things To Remember

• Firstly, make sure while expanding the gel pen refill hole, you do not burn it.
• Secondly, ensure that you do not damage yourself or the apparatus while using the lighter.

Recommendation

• We recommend you use the parts of the damaged cycle bell
• If you are not comfortable with the lighter, we recommend using the regular matchbox.
