Longevity of a cigar lighter

Just wondering that how long should one usually last? I got the Xikar single torch, and it's just okay; but the flame is not as strong as i expect, and it feels like decaying as the time goes by (or maybe it's the matter of capacity...i don't know) Can anyone share their experience with lighters?

If a xikar product is failing you can return it.

Xikar has been hit or miss for me. I actually have like 3 backup Ronson Walmart lighters that work great so who knows.

My 5$ Ronson is still working like new after 4 years. It's always in my pocket.

Xikar, in my head, is forever.
may as well be. if they fail its a free exchange.
