Has anyone seen these anywhere in a polished chrome? Also, anyone seen the "Amero Lite" and/or "Euro Lite" anywhere? I've seen these different models as well as the polished chrome Jetlite on eBay, but never anywhere else (including Ronson's website). The "Amero Lite" looks to be a rounded version of the Jetlite, while the "Euro Lite" is skinnier and has a clasp on the flip closure. Both "Amero" and "Euro" are selling for around $8-$12 on eBay... interesting, but not the same value as $3-$5 locally for the Jetlite. |
Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
There were a number of people on here that purchased the AmeroLite for about $1 a pop at from a web site that shall remain nameless. Many found their credit cards hacked shortly thereafter. The AmeroLite is not a jetlite, but a poorer hybrid version. :2

The wallgreens down the street (less than 1/4 mile) still has 4 in stock. Offer is on the table, unless you are a "do it your self man" ;)

Troy, try blasting the jet with your can of butane. Also if you take the little screw out of the bottom you can pop out the little brass clip around the adjustment screw and adjust for a higher flame.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
Used these lighters for years when I smoked. My walmart no longer carries them...but I found them at Walgreens for $5 per today. Picked up a couple. Nothing fancy about these lighters...but they burn any type of fuel with no problems...and if they break, you only lost 5 bucks. Mine were always reliable back then, more so than most $30-50 torch lighters. These get my :tu

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
I finally pulled the trigger on one from Walgreens. I was expecting it to be light, cheap and plasticy. I was dead wrong. It's heavy and just wonderfully constructed. It closes perfectly. I don't think I'll ever need a Xikar...

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
I had my last Jetlite confiscated by security in a Chinese airport. I survived with Hotel matches until I found a lighter stand at a supermarket. I tried a bunch out and liked the feel of this one, made by Honest:
http://fracstar.com/pics/lighter.jpg It has a little hinged cover that pulls back when you depress the igniter and a slot on the front to view the fuel level. I'm not sure what good the lanyard is. Maybe so it doesn't get away from you at herfs. It was labeled 38 RMB, about $6 but I talked her down to 30 RMB, about $4.75. It's about 3 1/4 inches long and heavy. I'm still looking to replace my Jetlite. |

When I'm at home, I have a bunch of those big resevoir ones from dealextreme :tu |
Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
Heads up:
E-Bay has Ronson Jetlites up for sale right now, $4 shipped I think. |
Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
Not sure how prevalent yet, but I saw these at AAFES BX for first time yesterday here in NOVA.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
Mine just crapped out, so I went and bought another. The new one I got is a darker color, like a gunmetal, and feels cheaper... but the flame it puts out is bigger than my old Ronson. Oh well, as long as it lights...
|
Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
Saw these at the PX the other day. I was tempted to pick one up.

What I find is that some have different tolerances, only staying lit in a large "flame" and some allow a much smaller flame. Turn the screw to adjust the flame until it will stay lit, I bet it will work just fine...albeit a fuel chugger. |
