New lighter ideas needed

I have a JetLine triple torch that I got from Taboo as part of a sampler pack that I occassionally use if I'm lighting a monster RG. I works really well but I find that a triple is just too much overkill, it heats the foot too quickly and chars it instead of toasting. On windy days I tend to use my Colibri Vortex 2 double torch but my daily go to lighter is an EverTorch. By far the best built and engineered lighter I own.

the Evertorch is only a single torch so it make not be want you're after and does take longer to toast the foot than with my Colibri or triple flame, but I love the classic feel of the lighter and the fact that it's got both torch and soft flames (I prefer soft flame for the final lighting). The fuel lasts much longer than any other lighter I own, probably because it's a single torch as opposed to a double or triple, but I've never used a Ronson so I can't compare it to the lighter the OP is moving on from. On one complaint against the Evertorch is that the torch burner is not recessed into the lighter body so it's wind resistence is a bit poor, but that's really a minor problem.
