I wish there was a Youtube video of somebody demonstrating the Xikar Versa, that one had me curious too. |
Re: Random Question About Lighters
I like anything Tiger makes. I've had some Xikars that stopped working and never took the time to get them fixed. I have a couple Tiger dual flame lighters that I bought off ebay years ago that still work great. If you can find any Blue Rhino lighters, they are also very good. I saw some on ebay a couple months ago.

Not sure if the thumb dexterity would be an issue with this one, but I love my Evertorch. Similar in design to the Dupont soft flames, it's a convertible that has both soft flame and torch. Replicant_Argent on this board is the guy to contact about them.

Re: Random Question About Lighters
Was talking to my friend (who I primarily am buying this sort of lighter for given his lack of dexterity and muscle range) and he said he would light his old Colibri Firebird Quorum by holding it vertically sideways so that the ignitor would be facing his shirt (with the flame adjustment wheel pointing forward) and he'd squeeze it to light it.
Can you light the Xikar Executives or Versa's if you hold them that way? |
Re: Random Question About Lighters
I know the brand is generally frowned upon in most circles but what about the Colibri "Maui" lighter?
http://www.brookstone.com/webassets/...00/760597p.jpg Small. Nice shape. and thumb activated. Yay or nay? |
Re: Random Question About Lighters
No Colibri, ever. While some may be trouble free, overall, disappointment waits. I suppose if it is super cheap, you might be able to justify failure prematurely .

Unless you can get a hold of an old one. I have one from back in the 80's. A couple of years ago it finally quit working and I sent it in for repairs. They repaired and cleaned it at no charge (returned my check) which surprised me. Paid over $100 for it when it was new which at that time was pretty much unheard of. In those days most just used whatever - we didn't have the choices we do today unless you were going for a DuPont. Ron |
