They used to have those levers you had to push in in order to engage the valve. Not sure what happened to those.

no no no
dam man
you are that slow?
on the net billing lighter (bic)
the metal spring tab that wraps around the center of the thumbwheel
that is a safety
before that they had a plastic piece that had to be released in order to depress the valve
the metal tab is the new version a couple years old
the metal spring requires more pressure to spin the wheel
the other lighter in your pics
the thumbwheel is spring loaded and has to be pressed down a ways in order to make contact with the flint
here is a nice video to help you along in this great challenge
