Lotus Vertigo is a rip off even at 20 bucks!

My wife has the Lotus L11 (a pipe lighter) and I have the Lotus L36. Both seem to be working just fine. Although the butane tank on the L36 seems a bit small since I've had to refill it quite often.

Beyond that, the usual maintenance steps (purge it, every few refills) and so far so good.

I did use a Colibre for a while before it gave up the ghost. I'm no longer able to refill it. Everytime I try, the butane goes squirting all over the place--almost as if the refill port is completely plugged.

I also had a Xikar lighter which worked pretty well. I gave that to my sister.
