I spotted one of these Ronson Jet lighters at Wal Mart last night. $2.94! Seems to work fine. Hey, maybe they'll come out with a double or triple flame for $4!

The other great benefit of such a cheap torch lighter is that you can afford to risk using the cheap Ronson Multi-fill butane, which is less than half the cost of Colibri. The Colibri fuel for my good lighters is almost $5 per can - and it goes so fast!

Uh-oh! Darn it! My first Ronson quit working a couple of days ago. My guess is a problem with the spark. Now the spark is jumping out the top to the body of the lighter instead of down to the burner. Picked up another today...hope this one works longer than a month!

The price precludes fixing it really... I think you'd waste more time fixing it than it is even worth haha. Go pull another one out of the stock room - you did stock up right? I would say a case should last a lifetime.

Don't use the Ronson fuel and they'll last a heck of a lot longer. I've been using a large can of King Butane that has lasted me almost a year. Get at least triple filter butane.
