Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Oh, it's like just trolling the bait in FRONT of me!!
Perhaps TMC has an unlimited supply of cash, but EVERY, and I do mean EVERY lighter I have ever paid any kind of cash for has broken in no time flat. They tell you they can fix it, just send 19.95 plus your lighter plus 20 dollars shipping and handling, blablabla. I don't care how free the service is, the lighter shouldn't BREAK in the first place. And if it does, why on earth would I ever want to have some crap lighter with a golden price tag for anyway. OK, venting over. Ronson Jetlites provide all of the flame of the competitors costing 10 to 30 times as much, plus they work and work and work. And if one should break, you are not overly upset, because you did NOT pay big cash for it. They can be bought 5-10 at a time if you hit it on the right day, and you come out about the same as Colibri in price. You think that Lambourghini lighter won't break just cause it's costly? Haha, I don't think so anymore. I have seen em all break, or heard about it.
Good old Ronson. If only they were not also made in China. Great lighters if you can find em.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I wonder if they have their own forum?


OH, and be careful, some butane cans will pull the refill nibs right out of the lighter.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I also get them at CVS for about $5, Walmart never has them out here.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I just grabbed 2 (different cases even) at a Super Walmart in Tampa, $2.94 each.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I was in the Wal-Mart by my office yesterday to get some other stuff, and figured while I was there I'd grab a few Jet Lites to throw in bombs or PIF's. The peg on the shelf was empty! You guys quit buying my Jet Lites, you hear? :bx

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

getting frustrated. decided to look for one this week - went to a walmart, CVS and a walgreen's with no luck. anyone in the nashville area know where they might be?

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Finally found a local CVS that had a few on the shelf. Every other CVS & Walgreens & WalMart didn't even have a spot for them.

Needless to say I picked up a couple for $4.50 ea.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I'm on my second Ronson now. Not because it stopped working or anything, But because my friend and I were at a bar and he saw it and wanted one so I gave it to him.

Best lighter ever!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

i was just looking on ebay and thay all seem to be RONSON VARAFLAME LIGHTERs V2000 has enybody used one of these and what is the flame like ?

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

We love Ronson's so much that we even sell the ones that don't work! :D

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

They are near the register closest to the cigarettes.

I always keep some for give aways but my 3 local walmarts have been out for sometime. I might have to buy direct from ronson.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Hilarious,,,just when you think u have seen it all something else catches your eye. Selling a Ronson that doesn't work for more than a new one,,,wow!:r

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I guess they consider it "Vintage" :r

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Got 4/$25 on Ebay. Ebay also has the more econimcal 12/$50.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

$2.96 each at my Walmart and $3.00 at Big Lots, bought a few last week.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I finally found some at CVS.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I can NEVER find em at CVS or WM!! All I find are the cheap Ronson plastic ones.

Rats!:(

The Colonel is good people....and he's from North Carolina too!

(Yeah, that's right, he's part of the NCCM)

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I have never seen them at CVS myself but some otheres have. Many of the Super Walmarts either don't have them, can't find them or don't know they have them..... but if they do have them they will be around the checkout at the Cigarette holding area. You will have to search them out yourself though. I have a steady supply from a local old style Walmart in a very small town nearby, they have them behind the counter on the cigarette checkout. You have to search them out though the employees have no idea what you are talking about.

They can often be found at Big Lots but once again they don't know what they are either. There you have to walk along and check all the register aisles, they hang them with the crap on the pegboards there, often only on one register aisle though so check them all.;s

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Just found 2 at CVS today!! $4.50 each. They are behind teh counter by the tobacky.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

They're $2.94 at my local Wal-Mart. They have at least 2 different designs: a brushed metal, and one with a grooved art deco kinda design on the sides. I picked up a couple for backups, and I'd be happy to snag some more if anyone can't find them locally.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Has anybody in the Columbus, Ohio area been able to find these anywhere? I haven't had any luck yet, but I will keep searching!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I find them quite regular around here at Wal-Mart. Of course, I have 12 WM Supercenters within 30 minutes of me. May do something I done on CS to earn a little trader feedback. They are $3 each, and cost about $2 to ship including the envelope, etc. I may pick a few up and let them go for $5 on here if anybody would be interested. Not trying to make anything on them, just cover my cost and pickup a little feedback.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

My local Old School Walmart ran out a month or so ago and now says they have been discontinued.:td

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Check out EEEE-Bay. I picked up 12 back in May for $40 with free shipping.
Still on there this morning for $49.95 buy it now or make an offer.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I may end up going with the bay, but will keep looking locally. Maybe a few will turn up!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I used to sell them on ebay myself over a year ago. It was for a small profit though. I would list them $8.50-$10 each, Buy it Now, free shipping. Sold probably 30+ on there in just over a month.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Had a little luck today, stopped at the country Walmart on the way home to pick something up and went down the smoke aisle to check out and holy cow a new peg with 1-dozen Jetlites hanging there. Now there are only 6 left hanging. The lady that works that area has been there a long time and she said that so many people were asking for them the manager put them back in stock and she just hung them up this afternoon.:tu

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

No, seriously, where can I find these? :D

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Urban Legend!!
Why would anyone believe in a butane lighter available for $3.00:rolleyes:

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Seriously - I bought 6 of them yesterday at Walmart for$2.94 each + Tax. :tu

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Same here,,,my Walmart always seems to carry them now and I have a dozen of them just in case. Still on my very first Ronson I bought a year ago and the things will not stop working no matter how badly I treat it. I don't purge before recharging, I drop it on the cement drive way, I washed twice in the laundry,,,,unreal how this thing just will keep on going.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I found these lighters for sale online at Finck Cigar Company http://www.finckcigarcompany.com for $6.95 as of today.
Hope this helps as I'd looked near and far for this lighter after my Walmart discontinued carrying them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I have had some beautiful lighters over time. I have none of them now. In fact, expensive lighters fear my name. I have a couple of inexpensive lighters that I just can't lose. I won't ever buy an expensive one again. I will be featuring the Ronson at my Festival cigar sales this summer.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Where are the Ronsons?!!!! They used to be all over the Wally Worlds and now I can't find them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

They're all at my local CVS!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

You can find good "lot" deals on them on Ebay

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Yeah I got one there for 4.91

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

My point is what happened to the 2.97 price at Wal Mart. I called Zippo/Ronson customer relations and they told me Walgreens and CVS were the only retailers on their list. I asked what happened with WalMart carrying them and she said she didn't know. I think Ronson realized that they could get a bit more for their product. Only thing I can think of.

No longer the magical lighter to me. Yes 5 bucks is reasonable, but I feel cheated somehow.:td

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

You have to remember, when Walmart tells you to sell your lighter for under 3 bucks, you do it or your done. They were probably loosing their asses. I know I picked mine up last year for under 4 bucks at Walgreen's. I just can't kill this thing, it definitely outlasted my 3 Colibri's that all took a crap after a few months.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

You feel cheated by paying $5 for a quality torch lighter that will outlast most lighters that cost 10 times that? Wow. I for one am glad that walmart no longer carries these. I hate the fact that they can dictate to manufacturers what they will pay for their product. That's kinda bass ackwards from the way it should be, don't you think?

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

My Walmart still sells these. $ 2.94. :tu

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Can you pick me up a few and I will pay you for them....Thanks in advance Mac...if possible.:banger

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

+1

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Drug Mart near me has some, but they are funny. I don't think they have the all-metal ones. I will check tomorrow.

(Just looked online, they are the Comets, not the Jetlite. I will check and see if they have the Jetlite)

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

We have a CVS and Walgreens right up the street. I'll check both of them to see what they have.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I check the various local Wally Worlds everytime I am there but I haven't seen a Ronson in about 6 months.:sh

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Try looking next to the comic books.
