I've had my PB-207 Blazer for 3 years, although not the fanciest appearance, it gets the job done and that's what it's all about. I can always count on it and I've never had to "click" it more then twice. Tom is spot on pertaining to the reservoir. It's a big one.:tu

I also have a Blazer Chief II, which is just as reliable and very easy on the eyes, but a bit more than $50.00.

I would argue that the ultimate synergy of form v function resides in the Dupont xtend.

I have a Xikar Exodus - It is such a great lighter (BTW I prefer a soft flame)

I have had a ronson for abotu 7 months now... the only time its ever "not lit" was when it was very low on fuel. For 3 bucks you cant buy a better lighter.

Here's an interesting question, whos got the oldest working ronson?

Re: The most reliable lighter
 
My old crappy bic finally died on me, I had read this thread before so I headed out to Walmart in search of the ronson. Man I can't believe I did not goto this lighter earlier in my smoking career! This is the best lighter I've ever had and the price made me giggle like a little girl. I bought a Jetlite and a bottle of butane for Five Bucks!

If anyone is looking for a cheap lighter thats high quality (no pun intended), get the Ronson Jetlite!!

Colibri Firebird. Works everytime :D


No really it does, never had to purge or clean it out or anything. When it is getting low on juice I just fill'er up.

A Vector and Xikar Executive also work like a charm for me everytime. Haven't had any problems with my Nibo triple flame either, but I don't like the huge flame and small tank :tu

Re: The most reliable lighter
 
I grab a new Ronson everytime I hit CVS to pick up a script. take them home and toss them in a drawer and that way there is ALWAYS a decent lighter in the house.

Oh yea, & then if (when) Marc starts *****ing that he wants 1......:tu

Picked up my first Ronson JetLite from CVS over the weekend. The best purchase I've made. As long as they're available, I'll never spend more than $4.49 on a lighter again.

$ 4.49??? Only $ 2.94 at Walmart. Buy a few each time I stop in.

I live in the city, and unfortunately there aren't any Wally Worlds nearby, so I've got to pay the bastages at CVS too much money.

At least you guys can find them locally. Walmart, cvs, walgreens...none of them carry the ronson in my areas.

I am in the same boat. I have one that was bombed to me and I need to get some more before they get hard to findl or mine breaks. I am sure someone would gladly send you a few if you paid. Try posting in WTB section. :tu

Re: The most reliable lighter
 
I got mine from Ronson on their website. It's not too expensive and I bought 6 of them.

Re: The most reliable lighter
 
Just used this one for the first time today.I got it for $10 on Make an Offer. It works great! Fires up on the first click and lights the cigar very well! We'll see how it holds up in a couple months. It's a Nibo Space 6 triple flame.

Re: The most reliable lighter
 
I have a couple of Ronson's as well, but I noticed that most people in the thread talked about having a bunch of them. I think that makes them the cheapest reasonably reliable lighters, but not what the OP asked. Let's face it, if you need a dozen of them, they might not be the most reliable. I hate it when I have only one with me on the golf course, and it fails me ... tough to run into the house to grab another.

I think I'll checkout that PB-207 that I keep hearing about...

Chris. 05-18-2009 08:44 PM

Re: The most reliable lighter
 
Try the CG-001. I plan to buy one soon. I have friends with them and they are great lighters.

I think most people have a bunch because they tend to lose them. I am on #1 :tu

I have the same lighter, in fact two of them (for some reason I enjoy having many cheap lighters). Anyway, these work great and light first time everytime, but get yourself a big bottle of fuel, this are very hungry lighters.

I love the adjustment and emptying tool they give you with the lighter too! Found it for $12.9X on buylighters with free shipping! I paid $15 shipped for mine. I know where I'll go for a replacement if I ever have to. these also have a warranty that I haven't had time to look into yet.

Blazer CG-001 and Dupont X-tend!
