Just purchased (old) X-tend lighter

[Krish the Fish]

Good work sir! I got my first MaxiJet (as they call them nowadays) for full price in matte black. It was beautiful, but as I was moving at the end of last summer, I somehow lost both my brand new Carbon Fiber Palio (which I had never even used) and my MaxiJet. Fortunately, however, I won an Xtend off cbid at one point, and it was backordered. They finally gave me the option of getting a glossy red one, which I took, and it ended up being an old "Made in France" one. I was stoked.

Anyways, long story behind us, great find! I found that my Made in France one had a bit of a "stickier" ignition (in that it was more stiff), but the flame sounded more substantial and there was less "leakage" of fuel at the end of a burn. I hope you enjoy your new lighter!
