Not me!

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

A buddy of mine and I found them in the tobacco isle at Walmart. We asked an employee if they had them and they said they didn't carry them anymore, but there were a few left with all the butane bottles.

Seems like they can be a hit or miss depending on the area...

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

After walmart and 2 walgreens in Memphis, I found 3 at rite aid. They were not behind the counter with the cigarettes though. They were in a little section on the aisle side of an endcap.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

I sent one to Joe as well. Joe If you don't want two just pay it forward. If you do want two happy torching.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

I will pass it forward. I already know of a person in the need of a reliable lighter. Once again, Thank you.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Ahhh, I'd love one of these lighters!! Just don't think there is anyway I could find one in Australia!

Is anybody able to help me out? I'd of course be happy to pay the postage if it made economical sense. Does anyone know if these things are 'allowed' to be shipped throgh air mail or not?

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

I just picked up 4 of these from Amazon.com for $15.

Just go to Amazon and search for Ronson Jetlite.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Why is it that a cheapie that works at first seems to work forever, and the expensive ones work great for a while, then get all glitchy and unreliable? Drives me nuts!
As for the Ronson, I suggest buying a couple at least. I ordered 2 from Ronson ($5 each) and one works great, the other refused to light after the first refill. Yeah I purged a couple times, and tried all the usual drills that work. Then I took it apart trying a trick I read about to change the adjuster limit...can't tell if that worked as the lighter never lit again. I get no gas release sound when depressing the "button". But for the price, I can't complain too much.
Long live the cheap lighters!

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

No doubt! It sucks either way, but it's a lot easier to shrug off a failed $4 lighter than some jewel you paid 10 times as much for. :2

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

These lighters are great...only 1 problem.....They are so cheap and work so well that when I lose one I do not care.....so I have probally gone through 5-7 of them, but they are a great lighter.....

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

I've had one Ronson fail...after a few attempts at purging/refilling/cleaning I chunked it and opened up another. :tu

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

The thing I learned about these is they really don't like good fuel, I use the cheapest stuff I can find to refill them and they work great!

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

off topic, but Ronson is now part of Zippo

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

DAM..mine just started messing up...no pressure, wide flame...guess I'll have to box it up and pay to ship it to Ronson for warrit.......wait a minuit, forgot, can go to Wally World and spend 3 bucks for a new one. aint Ronson's great :r

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

If you're lucky enough to find them, that is. My walmart stopped carrying them.

I wonder if that has anything to do with some Wal Marts not carrying them. Coming soon to a Wally World near you: Zippo Jet Lites, only $25... :rolleyes:

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Uh Oh.... gotta run some errands later..... might have to see how many they got on the shelf.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Try putting the fuel can in the top of the lighter, this should clean out the dirty jets. That is usually the problem when you have a wide flame.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Thanks I,ll give it a try.

Yeah, I might snag a few more myself. I have mine, a herf backup, and my wife has the first one I bought over a year ago, plus I like to keep a few on hand for bombs/trades.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Nice just ordered some for myself been wanting one for awhile haven't been able to find them locally

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Zippo has purchased Ronson

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

If anyone wants.....My local has a ton of them...just picked up another 3 tonight after reading they got bought out by zippo.....I can make a run for the BOTL's that do not have access to them. Mine were $2.97 ea and shipping should be less than a dollar in a padded package.

If anyone needs access to these little gems.

I know that I am new, but just thought I would offer.....not so new on some other boards...

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

PM sent Snapperhead

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Did the inverted can trick and the lighter works like new. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
 

Good to hear, doenst cure all problems but if the jets are dirty this works like a charm. I thank Ratters for passing this tip on to me. :tu

Re: Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter
