Difference in single, double and triple jets

[Chinogobraap]

I'm looking for a jet lighter, used em never owned one. I have traditional flame lighters but i smoke outdoors more these days. I've only used a single jet and it work fine. I'm planning on getting the vector knight single flame on cigar monsters mashup later tonight for i think 17.00. I started looking online and holy shite I didn't even know that there were double or triple jet lighters. Besides looking cool is there any real advantage in having a double or triple?

Thanks in advance

I use my $5 Ronson and it hasn't let me down yet.

I actually bought a second one today as a back-up.

Triple flame will light your eyebrows on fire faster. One flame is all you need, two if you are impatient and three if you feel the need to smoke 85 RG smokes. Single are better for touch-ups and relights. :2

[junkinduck]

love my ronson keep a few for trades, gifts, and backup. I also really like a free one from cheep humidors. It is ugly, red and throws a hellish flame, like big and hot hellish.
I am looking hard at the xikar flower jet. Would like to one to try.
To answer your question I think it is opinion. I have used, double and triple and the end result was all the same, they lit my smoke. That being said I like a double for larger RG cigars. But the single fits so nice in my pocket.

Hahaha :r:r:r:r
Yea I couldn't find anything online that would explain the difference in the different options and the application of those options but that just cleared it up.

Three for show one for go

Thanks

I found that triple flames would burn the **** out of the wrapper, double flames were okay until I had to rotate the cigar while lighting it, then I burnt the wrapper.

Now I just do single flame.

Small fire, bigger fire, stupid fire! :r;s

[bigdix]

I'm pretty glad I just ordered a single flame :)

I normally use a single flame, but I do have a triple I pull out for kicks on occasion. I think single flames are better if you prefer to take your time and slowly toast the foot.

But if you're in a hurry and have a larger ring gauge smoke, the triple can put a red hot cherry on the foot in a couple of seconds flat.

He's making a joke but in reality he's not lying...you do not need more than 1 torch flame to light a cigar.

[kelmac07]

I have a double but always end up using my single flame. :tu

[Jack1000]

I have one of each type--I always feel like the triple is going to blow up in my hand. Probably more suited to making creme brulee than lighting cigars.

Or melting steel.

Single does the trick for me! The only time I use a triple is when I'm herfing at Winston's and use Kevin's tabletop. I have to hold it about a foot away from the cigar. Guess that's why it's a tabletop.

Of course, I usually revert back to the ol' 3-stick match trick when I feel like being indulgent.

[shilala]

I have them all. I even have a five jet table lighter.
I used triple jets forever cause they light a foot real well. I don't like double jets. The five jet is awesome, but it's out in the shop and I seldom use it.
Anymore, I use the single flame lighter Mac gave me, or a Ronson. I've all but given up on triple jets because they're always broken.
They're building a Super Wally here right now. The only reason I'm looking forward to that life-sucker being done is so I have a steady supply of Ronsons. I'm done fighting with lighters. :tu

[waffle]

I just won a raffle and it came with the ever torch... kinda cool, has a torch light and a soft flame & it runs on butane so you can toast the foot with the torch and then light with a soft flame.

Now I just do single flame.

:tpd: The fuel consuption on the triples is just ridonkulous too!!

+100 I’ve been using my single flame torch for years and love it. Unless I need to do some spot welding, I Can’t ever imagine needing more than one flame.

HE IS rather punchy lately. He must like this medicine a lot more than the last batch.
I also agree, one is all you need. It's already fairly windproof and does not drink butane
like that first ghost the ghostbusters captured in that hotel.

[Whee]

I prefer single flame.....:D

I have lighters from all three sizes. I find my self using my dual flame to light and my single to touch up. I will use the single only to light up the smaller RG sticks.

[rizzle]

Count me in the single flame group. How do you realistically touch up a cigar with a triple flame without scorching the wrapper anyway? And I like thinner ring guage cigars primarily so the single is the ticket for me.

[dwoodward]

Singles are great for touch ups... The only logical use of a triple flame that I can perceive is using it for toasting your cigar before light, which if you don't have 20 seconds to do it with a single flame, then you really probably don't have the time to smoke the cigar anyway.

That's my main issue too...the touch ups. A triple to light a small ring guage could be a challenge...a triple to touch up a smal ring guage could be a disaster. :D

[Chinogobraap]

Thanks guys yea I picked up the vector knight single flame off cigar monster for 17.00 last night. cant wait for it to get here

[bishjd123]

I use the triple for 54+ ring gauges and a single for anything less than that as well as touch ups. Still getting the hang of using the triple and not scorching the wrapper.

[Subvet642]

I have the Xikar Enigma twin jet but I've found that I get a straighter burn with a soft flame.

[bvilchez]

Single flame...anything else to me is overkill.

[RRocket]

Well I guess I'll be the one to disagree a bit. I like large ring cigars. Particularly NUB 464s. Sure, a single burner will get it lit. But with my triple burner lighter, that fat stogie is going in the blink of an eye. And I didn't pay alot of money for the lighter either. It's a Nibo Royall 44. Has a punch in bottom too. Can get them online for about $20. I love the lighter and have never had an issue. I now prefer the triple burner for all my lighting duties. It's my "go to" lighter. My buddy also recently switched to a triple flame Nibo called the Space 6.
