The LGC ping lighter

OLS · 05-24-2010, 07:00 AM

Having watched both videos back to back, you are right, the ST is much
more musical. They are in the same range, which is how I determined that
mine was so close. But I watched the same video you did there and for some
reason never put it together the the STD (hehe) has a nice clear musical ring
and my cheap lady lighter has a clink.

I am good with it. You need to sue Cigary or his friend and keep the lighter.

Yeah, don't feel too bad. We're not accusing you of being petty. haha.
Like I said, I went through a very similar, if not exact sequence of events. Read Cigary's
post, google and Utubed the ping sound of the original, remembered the pitch, ignored the
tone, got in my lighter, heard the same pitch and never even considered the total lack of
sustain. TO ME, and I do not know what the Dupont lighter was made of, it's all in the
metal. You get a nice ringing sustain out of a high grade metal. Knockoffs, you could
certainly expect a total lack of a ring. Maybe Dupont's lighter actually has PRING.
Bling with pring. The knockoffs have ping.

After watching both videos again, I think my knockoff has a little more of a pronounced
ping, but still lacks the resounding ping.
