The invention discloses a gas charging apparatus for a lighter and relates to the technical field of manufacture of lighters. The gas charging apparatus comprises an ejecting device, a pin lifting device, a gas charging device, a bottom plate and a support. The ejecting device comprises a cylinder, a product carrier plate, a process disc, a Y-axial limiter, an X-axial limiter and a sliding plate. The pin lifting device comprises a positioning plate, a pin lifting plate, a pin lifting tube, a pull rod and an eccentric lift rotor. The gas charging device comprises a cavity plate, gas charging pins and an AB plate; the lateral side of the cavity plate is also provided with a gas inlet that is connected with a gas incoming pipe. The gas charging apparatus is simple in structure and convenient to operate, is suitable for independent operation by a single operator, allows ejection and pin lifting travels to be accurately controlled, and allows gas charging quantity to be precisely controlled, so that reject ratio of a charging procedure is effectively decreased; through alarming of an alarm and a flow controller, the gas charging quantity is under control, waste is avoided, and major safety accidents due to gas leakage are avoided; just after a process disc, a Y-axial positioner and a positioning plate for a corresponding product are renewed, the gas charging apparatus may adapt to various types of lighters and is widely applicable.
