Lotus Vertigo is a rip off even at 20 bucks!

Thats ok, I talked with my cousin today and ask her to look at the wall mart in Woodstock Ill where she lives, They had six and I told her to grab em' all up. I get them tomorrow.

Thanks very much for your help and looking for me!
If anything I can do for you on my side of the earth, Let me know!

Cheers!

I see no reason on buying or owning a expensive lighter. This $3 lighter out performs anything that I have used.

I feel stupid for buying a $100 that broke so I ended up getting that repaired and selling it for 40 and all the $20's and $50's lost buying over priced crappers when I could have been buying a few nice smokes is mind boggling.

LOL
Cheers!

I know I'm not drunk yet!! I read it and had to do e mail stuff and it was gone! I swear! I'm not seeing things...

Sorry Jeff..that was me...I was gonna trade ya a ronson for the Lotus but I didn't see that you already have ronsons coming to ya..

Well, I don't need anymore ronson's.

The problem with the Lotus is that the ignition doesn't work very well at all. It will light after 20 or more clicks. If you can fix it or just want it it's yours.
send me you addy and I'll send it to when I go to the post office for the Pipe Tobacco Of the Month Club thing.

You know, what people don't think about is that you are
losing butane every time you click the trigger and get no light. 20 times is a hell of a lot of gas wasted.
And to qualify the Ronson reccomendation, out of the 10 I own, three are in working rotation at present
and one I had broke after a week. But this is certainly an abberation. And at 3 bucks I did not notice.

Lotus sucks hardcore. I would never buy one of their lighters.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the Lotus. I have a Lotus 2500 and it is the best lighter I have ever had. Whenever I bring it to herfs everyone ends up using it instead of theirs. That includes Dupont's, Xikars, ronsons and countless others.

Good to know you got a connection there,,,you won't be sorry, Jeff. I still am using the very first one I bought 6 months ago,,fires every time. I don't even purge it most times and I just refill and it takes a few strokes and I'm good again. It's like this lighter refuses to screw up,,,and I counted last night I still have 9 of them left. At this rate I'll never need a lighter again. If is screws up or I lose it,,no biggie because I have lost some very expensive lighters in my career and almost cried or tore the car and house up looking for it.

I'm liking it! I've been using it all day and it hasn't failed once! sparks every single time.
She got me six of them and she will grab any that she finds from now on.

Woodstock is now outta stock!

I know what you mean, now when I go to WallyMart I check anyway to see if they have any and I fight myself to keep buying more because they are so damn cheap. They have the feel of an expensive lighter,,,they fire up like a $100 lighter,,,it's a single flame like I like because I'm not going to weld something with this. I have 2 and 3 flame lighters and they go thru butane like crazy. With a single flame you aren't going to torch the cigar like a flame thrower,,just toast it and smoke it. I'm thinking an even dozen is enough,,,,so only 3 more to buy. Yeah right, I will buy 10 if they have them next time!!
