Abstract: A valve for a liquefied gas lighter, which includes an expander-evaporator and a flow limiter for limiting flow of the liquefied gas to the expander-evaporator, the flow limiter including a rigid member, a deformable sleeve of a gas permeable material surrounding the rigid member, an elastically deformable element in contact with the sleeve, and a compression member for compressing the elastically deformable element and deforming it radially in the direction of the sleeve and the rigid member. The rigid member includes a support member for supporting the sleeve and the expander-evaporator, the elastically deformable member is an O-ring surrounding the sleeve, and the expander-evaporator is a deformable and permeable element whose permeability is varied by movement of the rigid member, effected through an adjustment member.
