Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter

[roughrider-cl]

I was really surprised by this lighter. It's a very simple and basic lighter that gets the job done time after time. It lights up on first click. The top opens/closes very solid and crisp. It has all the standard features: adjustable flame, re-fill/purge port, etc.

It beats the hell out of my Nibo and other cheap lighters costing 2-4x as much.





As you can see, this lighter is built like a TANK.




Verdict:

So far, I'm very happy with this lighter. For $3-5, this is possibly the best lighter/deal out there. I plan on picking up a few more if I can find them. If any of you guys don't have one, go out and get one. Hell, for the price get a couple.

Agreed! I have a few of them. They are top-quality really and outperform lighters that are 10X the cost! Cheap, easy and they have a nice heft to them. Love mine!

I had trouble finding them at Wal-Mart as many others have suggested looking there. I found them at a CVS pharmacy and grabbed two of them. They are fantastic.

I never did find them locally so I eventually ordered them from Ronson:

Seems like I didn't pay that much, but I still think they are worth it at that price.

I'd love to find these at the local WalMart but everytime I go they don't have any and we have a ton of WallyMarts in this neck of the woods. I see on their site they sell them for about $4 and change but I already have 4 lighters and I'm as bad a sucker for lighters as I am cigars. Damn this vice!

I've never seen these. What section do you find them in in Wally World?

In ours, they are on the end cap display near the quick check line. that is where our wally world sells tobacco product.

$2.96/ea.

Funny. I've also never been able to find them at any local Wallyworld either. Every time I go to WW I ask for them at the cigarette isle and of course, I always get the slack-jaw and befuddled expression whenever I ask a Wally employee "Hey, you guys have the Ronson JetLite lighers?" "It's a torch lighter..." "Whaaaaa???" "A what liter?". I say "never mind" and go about the rest of my business (par for the course). No matter, CVS has them and they have a bunch. They go for about $4 at CVS.

Let me know if you need a couple Chris. The WW near me has a fine selection. Once I found these my "high end" lighters have remained dormant. For $2.69 ea you just cant beat them.

I can't find any here in the Bay Area. I've checked the Wal-Marts in Fremont and Union City. Do any other local Wal-Marts carry them in the Bay?

Thanks for the heads up Mark. I have been looking for these around the Topeka area Walmarts and they dont carry them. I will give CVS a shot!
