If the metal hood gets quite bent when you take it off, just squeeze it back into position with the pliers.
You can normally adjust the flame from low to high, but this trick will let you make it go much higher than ordinary.
This lifting and pushing process disengages the gear and makes more fuel available for the flame.
Don’t try doing it more than 2 times at first, because you could end up with a way-too-big flame that spits out gas and is dangerous.
Make sure you test your flame in a safe, fireproof location.
Don’t light the flame near anything that will burn, like paper, or melt, like thin plastic.
It may be a good idea to wear safety goggles for extra protection.
If you get a big flame, it will run through the lighter fluid quickly, so be prepared to refill the butane more frequently, or just buy a new lighter sooner.
For example, keep your lighter away from thin plastic material that could easily melt.
