How to Refill and Maintain Your Solopipe in 2026

Your Solopipe is built to last, but a little care goes a long way. Whether you own the Original Solopipe or the Elektra, proper refilling and maintenance will ensure smooth performance for years to come. Here’s a quick refresher for 2026.

Refilling the Original Solopipe: Turn the pipe upside down to access the butane port. Use a high‑quality butane canister and press the nozzle gently into the port. Fill until you see a slight spurt of gas; then let the pipe rest for a few minutes before lighting. It’s best to refill outdoors or in a well‑ventilated space for safety.

Recharging the Elektra: Simply plug the included USB cable into the charging port on the side of the pipe. A light will indicate charging progress. When the light turns solid, you’re ready to go. Avoid charging in extreme temperatures to preserve battery health.

General maintenance tips: Clean the bowl and stem regularly by soaking them in isopropyl alcohol, then rinsing and drying thoroughly. Use a cotton swab to clear the airway and a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Replace screens when they show signs of clogging. Proper maintenance not only enhances flavour but also prolongs the life of your self‑lighting pipe so you can continue to enjoy discreet, one‑handed sessions anywhere.
