The nut on top of the vaporiser is called the jet and a rather important piece. You should really get familiar with how this type of lantern...
@Fireexit1 , you are right, next time we have to ask if globe is mounted, besides the pictures.
I would first contact the seller, maybe you can get some money back.
Some pictures of the whole lantern may help also. Something is wrong with the air flow.

There is the idea that in the situation that the mantle breaks, and you get a flame directly down and nobody is around to notice all these thing:...

Ah I see : I mean rods. And extender is the part that makes the rods go up/down. But maybe that is the wrong english word. Picture 44-45 in the...
I think the needle position (height) is not correct. Besides the already mentioned options. Without heating and inner burner assembly you should...
