I have bought the 12 pack counter displays a few times off of FleaBay. I don't remember exactly, but it was always around 2-2.50 a lighter. I hope it helps!!

Are we there yet?

Trishields gifted me a few of these almost two years back. They were better lighters than my much more expensive lighter. Great lighter for the buck. I don't see a reason to ever buy more expensive lighters.

I am sorry that I come off condescending to people. I really don't mean to be a jerk.

I put McDonalds ketchup on a Carl's Jr./Hardee's burger once.

The burger rejected it. Dumped it all down the front of my shirt when I went to bite.

WINNER!

Just posted for a group buy - http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...546#post960546 - I'm really interested in picking up one of these lighters as well.

Just received four from an e-Bay purchase (none available locally

)
Nice lighters for the price.

While I love my Ronson, allow me to toss in a tidbit after the many lighters I've had.

You get what you pay for. The Ronson will last for a while, then one of the many problems that plague them (hinge wears out, clicker dies, valve doesn't control fuel flow anymore, or they get too gummed up) will rear it's ugly head. Most of my JetLites lasted about 6 months, at which point they started to fail. Granted, I used them daily (so often I had to fill them at least once a day, sometimes more).

In the end, my original PB-207 and my XiKar Element are the only two torch lighters I have owned and used for more than two years. I've got a vector nearing that, but the Blazer still holds a permanent place in my heart.

You get what you pay for.

I agree 100% and I think the Blazer is a really well made lighter. I use tools everyday in my line of work, never do I buy cheap tools... they wear out, don't do as expected, dangerous etc. The Ronson for me is a stop-gap, extra lighter which @ $4 was hard to pass by.

I have 3 Jet Lites that I've had for over a year and a half. I carry one, have a spare in the golf bag, and one at home. When one runs dry, I refill and rotate them.

I don't see the problem with a cheap lighter wearing out in 6 months... It barely cost you anything. Just get another one and keep on going. I guarantee that your 40 dollar lighter would wear out long before you went thru 40 dollars of Ronson Jetlites.

Bingo! That's why I bought four.
