Default Cheap torch with BIG tank?

I'm going on a couple of golf trips this summer. I'm in need of a lighter than can hold enough butane for lighting, relighting, and touching up 3-4 sticks per round for 3-4 guys... probably the equivalent of lighting 20+ sicks on a single tank.

Is there anything out there that can do this in the sub-$15 range? Preferably something from DealExtreme since I'm wanting to order another lighter and some cell phone cases from there also.

I was looking at this one but I'm guessing it might have 1/2 the capacity I need? I like the included punch as well.

http://dx.com/p/seat-style-windproof...-silver-144537

Would the above have any more capacity than these which seem to be a known quantity around here? I could pick up 2 of these for the price and have one per cart.

http://dx.com/p/jet-1300-c-butane-lighter-1320

There's always this, but I'd have to pick up a can of fuel after arriving at our destination for one of the two trips for which we're flying:

Any other thoughts/ideas? Thanks!

Pick up 3 of those. Big tank, and easy to monitor when you're running out. Spend the rest on a can of butane.

There is no better lighter for the money than this one IMHO.
I need no other lighters.

Right now I'm leaning towards 3 of the SKU 1320... this way there's one per cart and a backup (along with a couple of Black Ops Kilos, Jetlites, etc in my golf bag) and I can give one to each of my 3 playing partners at the end of the trip.

Roughly how many sticks might we be able to light from a full 1320?

So you would like ONE lighter that can handle 20 or so sticks and touch ups if needed with one filling. I know this is not butane and that is an issue but it also fits your needs, not your pocket, but your needs.



but seriously I would suggest something more along the lines of this ... they are bigger than a pocket lighter just for the reason you listed.

2 or 3 of the DX 1320 should handle the 20 sticks + touchups, correct?

Something tells me TSA might question me on the giant Zippo

Sounds like a plan... I have a couple of the "mini" version from Meritline, just never had a herf-on-the-go reason to get the bigger one. Having three for the trip and then giving one to each of my playing partners at the end will be a nice touch.

I've got until July for the trip where we're flying. Our trip next weekend we'll be driving so I can just take my two Black Ops Kilos and a can of King Butane along... there will only be 2 of us smoking on that trip anyway, and only 1 round of golf.

Best deal anywhere, been using one for 3 years, works great in the wind, will light anything made and holds enough fuel for a couple of months regular use. Only negative is the throttle valve is not the greatest of precision instruments. Bright orange so hard to misplace. All for under $10!

http://www.harborfreight.com/micro-torch-42099.html

Other good choices are Ronson Jet Lite for under $4 at Walmart and the Blazers for around $35 which are high quality. Jet Lite has a lower fuel capacity which might prove a negative for your needs but hell just take 2 or 3 of them to make sure you don't run out.

You can go to lowe's hardware and grab an auto ignition torch that accepts the entire can on ronson or BernzOmatic fuel... IDK if you can find any that accept other brands of butane though.

Adjustable flame, not too large to carry in a pocket, holds huge amounts of fuel, and lasts longer than my Xikar ever could.
