Reliable lighters

james40

I'm sick and tired of lighters working for one fill and then quitting. I believe I'm purging and refilling properly but feel free to offer suggestions for both refilling and brands that work consistently. I moved to matches months ago as they work everytime. Thanks in advance.

James, I'm with you. Just went to matches as they are cheaper and more reliable. I will say, the only lighter that has worked consistently for me is my Bugatti and that was part of some package deal quite a few March Madness deals ago.

Zippo torch... Never had an issue, BigT sent it to me a while back. My shop owner swears by Jetline, and apparently they are lifetime now as well.

I have 2 Xikar's (both the InPress) and a cheapo my wife grabbed at walmart (not the Ronson). Truthfully, the cheapo just works. It's not flashy and fancy, just works. The Xikars are nice, and work well...when they work. Sometimes I have to go 4-5 clicks, to get flame. Sometimes they act like they are out of fuel, when I know they are full. Don't be afraid of cheaper lighters. I've heard many people around here swear by the Ronson single flame, about $5 at Walmart.

This ... and if you know how to use it, it doubles as a bottle opener

I don't get too attached to them anymore. I had a Bugatti that was dependable and all of a sudden done. I have a Xikar that has been working great for a year. They are great with their warranty, so I will send that back if it stops working. I love the AB tabletop burner for my smoking spot at home. When all else fails, grab the Ronson

it may be your fuel. look for butane that is refined 3 or more times. every lighter i have procured since i made that switch still works for me. 2 xikars, one Bugatti, and one vector.

I agree with the fuel! I use vector and have not had any issues with any lighter! Xikar use to say near zero impurities but now it has changed...I guess they were investigated. But yeah fuel is a big problem solver IMO!

My daily use in the States was a Xikar Flintfire II, and I never had a problem with it. Hell, even if I did the warranty is unbeatable. Here I use a Pierre Cardin, and honestly I've never had a problem with it either. Only thing is, it's rather pretty so sometimes I use a cheapo BIC to reduce the use of it.
