I just bought a colibri refill torch... it came with 2 tanks but I'd like to get my hands on a few more...

the mothership is out of them...

I can get the lighter with 2 tanks for $5 here but I don't need a bunch of extra lighters...

so if anyone has any they aren't using anymore and they'd like to trade a few sticks for them let me know...

thanks...

I was going to buy that lighter once but passed because I thought you had to buy a new full tank when the old one ran dry.

So why buy the refills when you don't need them?..btw the tanks are discontinued, not sold out.

The idea for me at least is to carry a few of the refills around instead of a can of butane...

Seems it would be cheaper to get the lighter here just for the refills. The refills I got cost me more than the lighter.#-o

I'm going to end up with a couple of extra lighters... pm me your addy and I'll send you one as long as you don't mind not having an extra tank, just the one inside the lighter...

They ARE able to be re-filled..
however...........
you'll find, (at least I did) that certain cartridges simply won't refill, no matter what.....and I took them apart as far as possible, totally emptied them, etc..........no go
So far, about one out of three were "refill duds" in my fairly extensive experience with these

Need a lighter, I am guessing someone will send u one. Ask and you shall receive. Then you wont need refills tanks to carry. Bigger lighter and last longer than 3-5 tanks. 🙂
