You will find lots of people here who have nothing but raves for the Blazer line. That you had a poor experience is unfortunate, but clearly a one-off. I've returned lighters to Amazon, so am unable to verify your experience. Most people here understand that buying online entails a certain amount of "buyer beware".

If you used a CC or PP to make the purchase, dispute the charge. Kinda weird that it was defective on arrival when it had fuel in it.
