Decent lighter search

[scott81425]

i got one from kingbutane.com when i was purchasing some of their lighter fuel. their fuel is pretty decent, and a great price, and the service from the site is really good. i got the volcano triple flame pocket torch shown here

i think it was like 5 bucks with the fuel, and it's my best pocket lighter. i love it. i also have one of the nibo royal triple flame torches shown here

and it's treated me well. still lights like a champ, but the button is getting a little tricky to operate over the years. it was the first lighter i ever bought for my cigars, a few years ago. worth it for sure.  it was also recommended to me on this site to get this one

and it's the best lighter ever. not as portable as my other 2, but that thing has never had a problem lighting, and the fuel lasts forever on it.

I love my Blazer but i'ts not a triple flame. Give Vector a try, I have heard good things about them.

Yep.  I have had a Vector Tizio for about two years now, and except for dinging the enamel, the thing is as good as new!!

I see guys all the time using the cheap-o torches.
I think if you go cheaper on the unit itself, and get the best fuel, you'd be happily surprised to see the lifetime of the torch.

Even with the super-refined fuels the ebay lighters won't likely last as long as the big-names, but you'd have to go through quite a few before paying as much.

I have 2 Colibri high end lighters and a promethious. All 3 were over $80 each (one was over $120). All 3 failed within 2 years using the best of fuels.

I have some $5 single and tripple jet torches still working after 5 years.

Same here...   I have several $5ish torches around the house that I have been using for quite some time...  and I don't even use great fuel in them all the time.

Also, my Zippo Z-Plus insert is a few years old, and still works like a champ!

I have a bunch but my favorite by far is my Blazer (the original one that looks like a scuba tank) I have had this thing for over 13 years and have had zero problems and that was using different fuels thru the years. I also have an X-Tend that I like alot but its not as good as my Blazer

Best lighter I EVER owned!

Blazer<----  This is a tank. IF you want a good, strong lighter this is it!
