Broken lighters!

Any help with phone numbers/addys would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Someone mentioned not cross posting our threads from CS here due to ownership.. Is there a thread listing details on that rule? Is there anything wrong with posting links to threads over there? I would like to move my lighter fix thread over here but don't want to ruffle feathers. When I have more time I can redo the procedure with a new lighter I suppose.

Here is a link to a thread that will help you fix the Colibri and Xikar lighters. If that linkage is a no no I understand.. I haven't had a Blazer break on me yet. I would actually be willing to try to fix it an photograph the process with yours if you are willing to let me try. PM me for my addy if you want me to try.

I have been using isobutane cartridges from backpacking stoves to fill my lighters lately to great success. I will be adding that info to the new thread too I suppose.
