[quote=Burner02]Thanks for all the recs. =d> Dropped by Wally World this afternoon and grabbed two of the Jetlites, one for the pocket and one for the golf bag. Seems to be a steal at $2.98 ea.

Remember to keep quality butane in it!

Don't use Ronson fluid in your Ronson lighter lol!

[quote=mikey1597]Yep, those things are bulletproof. If your local The Wal-Mart dosent have them, mine does. LMK[/quote]

None here, appreciate it if you can slide me one, although still using the one I got for Xmas

[quote=hnixon12]Forget about all that has been said above........Xikar Ecllipse II is theee best lighter ever....its triple flame!

I light my Padilla 1932's just fine with it![/quote]

Yea, pretty sure that's the one I have. Great lighter. I use it almost excessively to light my cigars, and use a single torch for touch-ups. I will use a single torch to light if it's a really thin ring gauge, though, since the triple will scorch the wrapper.

AOK

I've been using Ronson fuel in my Jetlite for

over a year, with zero problems.

Try the Blazer PB-207.

Chemyst 😎

your lose.

There was an Opus X that was attatched to the ronson I would have sent you

[quote=njstone]For a cheapie, I recommend the Madelaine single-torch. It's a push-button style, like the S.T. Dupont except it's on the front instead of the side. I've been using it for 3 years now, and it works great. No idea how much it cost because Tuck gave it to me (thanks again, bro!), but he said it was cheap, so probably sub-$20.

I've never used a Ronson Jetlite, but obviously there is a lot of love for those.

As far as pricy ones, I have a Xikar triple torch that I got here which I love, and an S.T. Dupont Mini that is really awesome--it's tiny, which has both pros and cons (perfect pocket/short travel lighter).

I typically light my cigars with the triple torch then use the single for touch-ups (i'm stupid about burn, so I touch up pretty often).[/quote]

Couldn't agree more.

Although I do have a couple Ronsons. Decent little lighter for the price.

My Xikar triple flame torch is great. Out of all my torches, it's my go-to for toasting.

I also am a freak about burn and also touch up with a single torch.

Story of my life, figured that the postage would have been more than the lighter was worth.

Thanks anyway.

I got my jetlite yesterday. Lets hope it works as good as all of yours!

A $50.00 cigar wasn't worth the postage?????

Dont remember asking for you to send money.

Silly noobs.

Just remember to purge the lighter everytime you go to fill it.

Some of the new ones need to be reset on the flame adjustment.

you got my e mail if you need the help. Thats all I do now is repair lighters from 2:00 am to 6:00 am

Really did not want to put you to the trouble over a $3 dollar lighter, but I do appreciate the generosity.

Also I must have missed the part about the Opus X in the your first response. Noob mistake.lol

So far so good with the Jetlite's. Seems to be a steal at $3.00 ea.

FWIW, I don't advocate purging everytime you fill a lighter, you waste a lot of gas that way if you want to top off before you head out. I would only purge if the lighter appears to have gas and won't produce a flame.

+1

the only jetlites I have had problems with are the ones I have tried to purge. could just be operator error, but purging has not worked well for me. LOL

have to purge to get the air our otherwise you will get less and less of lights per filling

once you own a lighter that has a window in it you will see what happens

Dont have to take my word on it. anyone that can get more than a couple of cigars lite wih there lighters, please snd them to me

These are awesome!!

Huge fuel tank, fuel level is visible and work great!!

I'll endorse the Ronson as well. Can't beat them for the money. BUT, a friend, honest, gave me a NuLite he picked up at a headshop that I've been using for over a year without a misfire. Looks like an absolute piece of crap, plastic, Ed Hardy tat/cartoon emblems on it, disperser torch flame, refillable...... and it just keeps going and going and going. Might have to modifiy my theory of flashlights to accomodate lighters as well. "The dependability of a lighter is inversely proportional to it's cost."

Bic or matches. EVERY lighter I've owned quit working after a few short weeks.

Just not true in my experience. I have a few lighters with windows on them which I use regularly. I have no trouble getting each of them full enough for several toastings and lightings. Are you sure that you're getting a good purge, and then filling the lighter held upside down?

If the seals in your lighter are holding, after the initial purge you should be able to go a long time before purging again as long as you don't run your lighter dry. If the seals aren't holding, what can you expect?
