Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter

I just picked up 4 of these from Amazon.com for $15.

Just go to Amazon and search for Ronson Jetlite.

Why is it that a cheapie that works at first seems to work forever, and the expensive ones work great for a while, then get all glitchy and unreliable? Drives me nuts!
As for the Ronson, I suggest buying a couple at least. I ordered 2 from Ronson ($5 each) and one works great, the other refused to light after the first refill. Yeah I purged a couple times, and tried all the usual drills that work. Then I took it apart trying a trick I read about to change the adjuster limit...can't tell if that worked as the lighter never lit again. I get no gas release sound when depressing the "button". But for the price, I can't complain too much.
Long live the cheap lighters!

No doubt! It sucks either way, but it's a lot easier to shrug off a failed $4 lighter than some jewel you paid 10 times as much for.

I've had one Ronson fail...after a few attempts at purging/refilling/cleaning I chunked it and opened up another.
