Which lighter???

[Aaron871]

Well, with all this talk I broke down and got a torch. We'll see, $7 and it's refill-able.

I also had purchased a Colibri Firebird--total junk. I can see why Colibri went broke.

I have one also, it was a gift from my friend and brother shuckins, I took it apart, took the governor out and that bad boy lights first time, everytime. And it now has a very good flame, excellant for lighting cigars. I believe the Firebirds are good lighters, you just have to make your own adjustments to it.

If I have to rig my lighter to make it work, than it's a lighter with flaws.

I love the JetLite but I would like it a bit more with a side trigger. I'm just worried that if they screw with the design any that it'll lose that awesome reliability.

DealExtreme: $2.78 Jet 1300-C Butane Lighter


It costs $2.78 with free shipping. I've been using it for several months and am very happy with it. It holds a ton of fuel and lasts a long time. Plus, you can't go wrong for $2.78 shipped.

I dunno if I'd use these for cigars as they seem a bit bulky to stash with my stogies, but they look fantastic for electronics. I'm grabbing a couple. Thanks for the heads-up and the link.

Ronson's a good/smart company. They should be able to figure it out.

The DX lighter is only 20-30% larger than the Ronson. I barely notice it at all when I carry it.

I've got a couple of the sku 1368 at deal extreme on order. Might have to see what can be done about the leds, but looks and sounds promising. I'll update when I get them.

I have two Ronsons and I have the same concern. Also, no fuel window and no wheel adjustment for the flame size. The Ronson may be cheap and reliable, but it also lacks the extras. In hindsight, I would rather have bought a Xikar Executive at $20+

I bought a Xikar Executive after giving up on a Nibo Triple Flame Fuel Waster.

I received my lighters from Deal Extreme. It took 15 days to get here. They both work without any problems. It's easy to disable or remove the leds if you want. Just pull the flame adjuster wheel off the bottom and remove a little screw and it comes apart. You can then just cut a wire or remove all the junk which is what I did. It's nice to be able to see how much fluid is inside.

All the talk about the Ronsons led me to hunt some down and I found 3 at a Walmart near me. I'm pretty sure they are discontinuing them around here.

Who makes those "Multi torch" table lighters that look like a Coleman lantern ?

Not sure which one you aret referring to but would likely be the Vector or one made by Alec Bradley. I think you are maybe referring to the Vector. Both are high quality and easily found with a quick google.

I have this lighter...

In this burl wood finish and I love it, hold a lot of fuel and seems pretty durable. I paid about 60 bucks at a casino.

Found um both. I figure if I only smoke in one area I may as well just have a cool permanent lighter....right?
