Default Torch lighter advise

I'm looking to purchase a torch lighter. Something in the 20-40 dollar range. Is XIKAR a good brand? I was looking at the Element. Also the Blazer BP-207. Any advise is appreciated.

XIKAR - Lifetime warranty....no questions asked. Unless you run over it with a dump truck.

You can get a dozen or more Ronson Jet Lites in that price range.

If you're looking for a table-torch, look at the vector with the perdomo logo. They are $30 on cigarsinternational and hold a ton of fuel. Too big to carry in your pocket, but great for around the house.

These are great lighters, Buy 3 and they are under $2.50 each delivered. PM me your addy and I will send one to you. Xikar and Blazer both make great lighters, but if you drop one of these or lose it you are only out a couple of bucks.

I bought a $20 triple flame lighter from my local Tinderbox, it has served me well. Dont know the brand, it was some no name deal.

I had a Zippo Blu POS!

I recommend a Blazer, any model. I personally have 2 of the CG-001.

Blazers also carry a LIFETIME warranty!

Default Re: Torch lighter advise

I got all sorts of lighters, cheap-mid priced and high priced. For a "pocket model" I most often use one of my dozen or so Ronson Jet Lites, they are the most dependable and under $3 each at some Walmarts. For table top use around the house I use a micro soldering torch most often, works wonderful, lasts a month or so without refilling and just feels good and powerful. Solder It is my favorite http://www.buy.com/prod/solder-it-pt...210438974.html

If you want to look cool, the Alec Bradley table top is top notch!

Blazer makes good dependable stuff for sure.

If you're spending the money get the blazer. Otherwise I'd go with the ronson, and use the rest of the cash for some more sticks!

Spend the $40 on 10 ronsons, and give 8 of them away in bombs.. All you'll ever need is one for use and one as a backup in case the "in use" one runs out of fuel
