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.

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

Blazer or Blue Flame (Blazer knock off)

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
