My wife & I go through some lighters and I can't seem to ever find mine when I need it--The wife has it--we will see what santa brings this year--

tommy,

do you work for tsa?

I searched all over my home ares with negative results.
one quick stop at cvs in phoenix and I have one.... I left the lighter in the package and put it in my checked luggage. tsa took it!! bastards!

it appears destiny doesn't want me to have a lighter

Well, I've used mine for a full two weeks now and am absolutely satisfied. For the price, this thing is unbeatable. I haven't even picked up my Lotus....I think it's feeling left out.

These lighters are great!! I picked up 2 several months back, and both are still working great!! I use them every day. Ronson makes quality lighters

Funny isn't it that they make this great work horse of a lighter, and then make s**t for fuel to go in it? Ronson Butane is garbage and will clog up a lighter in no time at all. I use Colibri or Vector in all my lighters. But I absolutely love my Jetlite lighter.

I agree and will not use the cheap butane for any of my lighters. I only use the 3x or 5x refined fuel and don't experience any problems except with the aforementioned lighters like Colibri, Prometheus which always break down on me.

I have one, and this may be a noob thing but it doesn't work very much anymore. I've only had it for a few months. What happens is it flames up, but it flame goes out right away. Almost like it is turned up too high and the gas is putting the flame out. I have it turned all the way down, and I also noticed that it works better when it is warmed up. Could it be that it is clogged? I can hear the gas being released. Can you fill a lighter up too much? I really liked it and would love to keep using it, but it is too tempermental. Any suggestions?

[CBCyclone]

Haven't had any problems with mine. What type of fuel are you using in it? That may have something to due with it.

On the lighter I just picked up a second one for my friend Dave. The Super Wal-Mart on Transit Road in Williamsville, NY (not far from the Tinderbox B&M) has them in ther aisle by the tobacco products.

I used the colibri triple refined. Is it possible to fill it up too much. I did not purge it before I filled it by the way, noob mistake.

Mine worked great until I refueled it. I have tried purging, not purging, warm, cold, right side up, upside down. Nothing has worked. I click repeated, hoping for the best. Patience pays off occassionally. Since refueling, I almost hate the thing.

[agctribefan]

Thats pretty much the exact same thing that happened to mine. I really loved it when it worked, but now it really sucks. I have a Xikar that works, but I liked the ronson better when it was working.

[LkyLindy]

I keep losing mine but for $4 who cares-Its almost a throwaway

[Ceedee]

Exactly. You can buy like 4-5 Jet Lite's and a can of Vector and have money left over compared to buying one "brand name" jobbie and STILL have a top-notch lighter (or two).

I tried mine again today, and it works great. What the hell. Glad it works again.
