Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I could use some opinions on a good lighter that has a sight glass or window to check the fuel level. Single or double flame. Price limit is $50. Color isn't too much of a concern as long as it's not pink.

Currently use Ronson lighters, while these work well, I always seem to grab one that is out of fuel before leaving.

Thanks.

Blazer has a clear tank!!!

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Blazer all the way!!!!:tu

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

They Also Make A "Copy" of the Blazer Called jetlite You can get on e-bay for cheap. If You Want the best, though, Go "Blazer"!:tu

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Blazer or Blue Flame (Blazer knock off)

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Said before and I would like to reiterate. Doesn't get much better than a Blazer PB207

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I appreciate the input thus far and please keep the ideas coming. Although I'm a bit surprised as I was thinking Blazer had poor reliability and customer service.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Been using my blazer for years, no problems yet.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Blazers are the most reliable lighters I have ever owned. So you want more ideas? Buy two Blazers and keep one at work.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Xikar Element is nice for around 30 bones. :2

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Same Here; No Problems Yet In 3 Years!:tu

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Blazer's are the best lighter for the money. These are great cheap lighters as well. Idea:Buy 25 for $50 shipped, keep 5 and send 20 to the troops! :banger

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I bought a few Blazers back in mid '90s. Been using one of them since, no issues at all. The rest are still new in box.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Go for a Coleman Black Piston. A little more money $20.00 usually but its a great refillable and really durable

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I have the ones above and also this one:

For the price you cant go wrong. I have a blazer, and I still reach for this sub-$3 lighter more often. The best part is that if it craps out, or I loose it, it was only $2.80 shipped.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I use THIS and it's great. It was gifted to me by CasaDooley :)

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Listen to the wise advice on the dealextreme lighters. I have had mine for years now and I abused it pretty badly and it still works for $2.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

:tpd:

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I appreciate the suggestions.

Searching a bit more, I came across the Blazer Little Buddy. Fixed cap and adjustable flame seem like good features to have. Is this as good as the PB207?

Xikar Element looks nice but I don't need the punch, although it would cut down the amount of junk in my pockets. I do like the features on the NXT a bit better than the Element.

The plus for Xikar is the lifetime warranty versus Blazer one year warranty.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Rumors abound (:rolleyes:) that the dealextreme lighter (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4179) can be carried in your pocket through security checkpoints without a problem.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Just bought the new Blazer and I love it. I thought it wasn't going to be worth the $38 bucks because I've had such bad luck with lighters just not working consistently or for more than a very short time. I love this one. I just posted a thread about the safety feature on these, but it's easy to dis-engage and the thing works like a charm first time, every time. Good luck.

I bought a couple of these bad boys... next time I see hotreds, I'm gonna hand a few over for the troops.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

+1 on the element. I love mine!

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Anyone know how much fuel the Xikar lighters hold compared to the Blazer? Or could tell me how many cigars, how long, etc... between refueling?

I tend to refuel the Ronson lighters after two or three cigars.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

depends on how you use it honestly. If you list to toast the foot before starting to draw then you'll prob use a bit more fuel versus drawing on the cigar while being it. It's not expensive to get a bottle of ronson butane and that refill bottle will last quite some time.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I light cigars without drawing and understand that uses more fuel. But I'm trying not to carry a can of butane everywhere. Don't normally smoke more than three in an outing, so usually two Ronson lighters works.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I smoke 3 cigars per day on average and I go at least 5 days, usually a week, between filling the Blazer. I love the clear tube that shows how much fuel is left. I too toast the foot first before I draw and have found that this lighter goes a long way before needing a refill.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Ordered 10 of these!... should be coming in the mail in the next day or two... can't wait to try it out! :D

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

DealExtreme can be slow to ship, usually 10-14 days from Hong Kong.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Just bought two! Can't wait!

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I'm partial to Blazer. Had a CG-001 for about 3-4 years. Travelled with it in my pocket several times. To The carribean and back, out to Vegas, Seattle, and a few others. Only problem is that I killed it trying to clean it. :(

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I have never had to carry a can around with me and I carry two lighters just in case someone needs it.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Decided to order a clear Blazer CG-001. Like the idea of the fuel tank being under an extra plastic shell and that the odd safety of the PB-207 is not there.

Next time around I'll go with a Xikar. Always need more than one lighter.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

+!
I don't own a lighter that doesn't have a clear window on the fuel tank, but I only EVER use my Blazer due it's consistency.:tu

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

I bought three of these cheap lighters and only one works. The other two give me a flash of torch and then it goes out. I'm using good fuel too (Vector).
I also have a Blazer CG-001 that works great.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

You need to adjust the fuel flow. There is a screw at the bottom that you can open and close to set the flow correctly.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Got a new set of lighters in today. For $50 given that they are quite rugged and reliable, not bad. Oh yeah, that prices was for all 25 :D

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

Someone forgot their meds today.

Re: Good Lighter with Fuel Window
 

i've got the blazer pb-207. mine crapped out (probably due to pocket lint and not keeping the cover on it), but their warranty covered it and they sent me a new one in a little more then a week.

I'll stick with my Lotus :)
