I can't understand Zippos for touch-ups when a single jet is much more precise, and a flat flame (like the Xikar Verano) is much better than that, Soft flames are so large (hot across a large area) that they usually scorch the surrounding wrapper, and they move around with the slightest breeze. Something like a Verano is hot only in a very narrow line and nowhere else, and small breezes do much less to alter its position than they do with a soft flame.
You should call Xikar and ask for a list of authorized dealers near you that do instant, postage-free over the counter swap-outs. I take mine to CI, and wham-bam-new-lighter-ma'am in seconds. I've even exchanged multiple ones at the same time, no problem. $0, no paperwork, instant.
If that makes you think "hey Puddin, if Xikars are so great, why have you done multiple swaps like that?" keep in mind that I smoke a lot, and have a schittload of Xikar lighters that I use, and this has been true for many years now. They're very reliable and long-lived, but ALL butane torches WILL die at some point, including Vectors, JetLites, Ronson, EVERY one. That's when you want free instant eternal swap capability.
If Xikar says there are no instant-swap dealers near you, and you don't want to drive awhile or pay postage, then maybe go with another brand that's cheap so you can toss them when they die without too much loss. Otherwise, I'd go with Xikar, no question.
I've resurrected many seemingly-dead lighters by observing where their spark wires are, and where they're arcing to, then bending them back into a working position with teezers. I've resurrected many other lighters by holding them rightside-up and pressing a butane can upside-down onto them so that the butane can's filling stalk presses directly against the jet(s), then pressing firmly to give each jet a quick spurt of butane. Butane is not only a fuel, but also a cleaner, and when deployed under pressure at contact distance it's very effective at blowing gunk out of jets. Make sure no ignition sources are in the area, and that your finger can't accidentally activate the sparker. Never aim at or near your face or any part of your body, have no flammable objects in the area, etc., SAFETY FIRST! Wait 3-5 minutes before attempting to light, to let extra butane evaporate. Also make sure the butane can's stalk doesn't knock the sparker wire out of alignment, or as mentioned above, you may have to bend it back with tweezers or the like.
