Clogged Lighters

[jledou]

I have had several lighters where the plug (valve for adjusting flow) gets stuck and will not open or comes free from the screw to adjust and will not allow flow back through the lighter. That has killed probably 1/2 a dozen over the years for me.

I've Also Heard From My Tobacconist That The Tubing Inside The Lighter Gets Loose Or Disconnected. No Easy Way To Repair That. I Would Toss It & Use Another. The Last Time I Used Vector's "Lifetime Warranty", I Paid $15 To Ship It Back To Them And They Charged $14 Shipping Fee To Return It! A New Lighter Cost The Same! I Had A Problem With A Jetline Lighter That Wouldn't Ignite. Sent An E-mail To The Company. They Told Me The Lighter Was Discontinued In 2016, But They Would Send Me A Comparable Lighter At No Charge! Jetline Only In The Future For Me!

Well poop. That sucks but I agree, I think these are toasted. Some of my favorite torches too. Ordered a four pack of Ronsons. Those things have always been good and at $28 for four I won't be too sad when they die either.
