I have four of them, two in G2 (two kinds of gunmetal) and two in the gold and brushed silver combination. Love them all.
By the way, for those of you who want a Trezo-like lighter on the cheap, check out the Vector Drone. It's like a Trezo and a Tech had a baby. Same jet configuration as a Trezo, but mounted on the giant, clear tank of the Tech. Comes with the Vector "no proof warranty", which after reading all the fine print seems to be like Xikar's EXCEPT that it becomes void once the model is no longer in current production. But hey, it's better than nothing, and you can find them for $9.99, and jet-wise they operate identically to a Trezo and hold a lot more fuel (but are less stylish). Not bad!

Your intel fits with mine. This is good because I own a schitt-load of Xikar products with the lifetime warranty.

You shouldn't. Independent reviews on the web, and a couple of my cigar buddies plus a local B&M shop owner, all confirm (versus other common premium butanes) significantly higher flame heights at identical height settings (or identical flame heights at substantially lower height settings) and that it often brings dead lighters back to life, when conventional butanes do not / have not.
It's supposed to also work better at high elevations, but nobody I know has climbed large mountains or taken it to Denver to test it.
There's something different in the formulation, but I've not seen an explanation of what, so far. But it's a very real and noticeable difference.
