Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter

[MedicCook]

You can find them at Wal*Mart but it is difficult. They are also the #1 lighter for crackheads and they sell out fast.

Nice little lighters. Several 12-pack lots on ebay right now. Guessing that they'll actually go in the $30 range or under.

I have had 3 different ones. All of them died within 2-3 months of usage. I use quadruple lava fuel, so it's not that. To me they have never been that great of a bargain. DE has some nicer looking clear tank models and they have lasted me years.

Actually that may be it

I used good fuel when I first started using mine too. Had some issues and read somewhere to just use Zippo fuel. Since changing they light first time every time

I have a dozen laying around all over the place so I never need to look too far for one. When one runs out I refill it and throw it back in a pile somewhere.

I've used Ronson fuel and the more expensive stuff with no problems. The only thing I've noticed is when it's really cold out, I need to hold it in my hand for a few seconds to warm it up before lighting.

I use Vector in everything from my X-tend to my Ronson and never had a problem. But if the Ronson gives out I will just chunk it and pick up another one out of the drawer.

Not many crackheads here in the mountains but they sold the heck out of them at the local non-super Walmart before recently discontinuing them. Must be useful for the Meth Industry too cause we sure enough got plenty of that here.

What department are these in? I need to get one.

At Wal Mart, they should be in the only aisle you can buy tobacco products in. Walgreens and Rite Aid usually have them behind the counter with the tobacco products.

A lot of Walmarts do not carry them anymore. Also the ones that do carry them often run out, that happens to the Walmart close to me. Most of the time they will be hanging on a pegboard in the checkout line amongst a lot of junk including the bics. Or if they have a smoke section they will be hanging around that checkout. They are in a blue cardboard package and trust me you have to look hard to find them. Most of the employees have no clue what you are talking about if you ask them - a real surprise there! Sometimes you can find them hanging on the checkout aisles at Big Lots for $3.00 but there again hit or miss just like Walmart.

A buddy of mine and I found them in the tobacco isle at Walmart. We asked an employee if they had them and they said they didn't carry them anymore, but there were a few left with all the butane bottles.

Seems like they can be a hit or miss depending on the area...

After walmart and 2 walgreens in Memphis, I found 3 at rite aid. They were not behind the counter with the cigarettes though. They were in a little section on the aisle side of an endcap.

anyone have an extra they would sell? I would be happy to pay for it and the shipping.
