Re: The LGC ping lighter
EverTorch Pings? I love the dual softflame/torch but if they ping...I think I need this one too.

Re: The LGC ping lighter
I'm 2 for 2 Steve but they say if you aren't satisfied you have 3 days to return it to them for a refund or exchange. If you don't do that then you are under the Manufacturers warranty which means the PING probably doesn't factor as a "warranty issue" but who knows as if you pay by credit card you can always dispute the charge and win.

BTW.. if you look at these lighters with ping, you would find a phillips screw head and a piece of metal, some experimentation, clipping, tightening or bending may have a positive outcome. |
Re: The LGC ping lighter
Everyone is forgetting you paid $24.

Re: The LGC ping lighter
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. |
Re: The LGC ping lighter
I think there might be some kind of tension adjustment you could do with the pring to alter the sustain on the ring,
the only problem it sounds like it has. But better materials likely play a role, may be the biggest role. |
Re: The LGC ping lighter
Seams like for the price we are splitting hairs about the sound. I love my lighter.

Re: The LGC ping lighter
In my review post I pretty clearly stated for $24 it is a great lighter :) By no means was I expecting an exact replica of the real Dupont lighters. However I was just lead to believe that everybody else had much better results so I just didn't want to sit on it if I had gotten a dud lighter.

Re: The LGC ping 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. |
Re: The LGC ping lighter
Yeah, I'm not messing with an RMA on this. It's a great looking lighter with a really nice flame. I seriously doubt I'd get any different kind of sound from another one.
I really enjoy the light I get from this lighter for sure though, worth the money! |
Re: The LGC ping lighter
Anyone know how we would go about replacing the flints?
|
Re: The LGC ping lighter
I'm guessing dupont flints will work well, and you can get an 8 pack of them for like $2, although I forget the website I found them on.
I'm not sure Zippo flints would be the same thing or the right size, which is unfortunate because those are readily available everywhere :-P |
