Colibri Walmart lighter

[rolokatz]

i've got the same colibri and it's been consistantly reliable - with the exception of lighting up every time I pull the 'lid' open... I know, I know... that's what it's supposed to do, but when you're used to clicking your zippo or ronson open and closed, you tend to make people nervous when you're constantly firing up your lighter - and not lighting anything!!! HA!

if your at Walmart, save yourself $9 and buy the ronsons. much more reliable and difficult to destroy!

For sure,,,I accidentally put mine in the washer and dryer and when I went to fire it up,,,voila',,,first time. Now, on the other hand when I had my colibri and I would pull it out I had to pray to the ligher Gods to get this thing to light the very first time.
