Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

There are 2 CVS stores in my town. One had them and the other (closer one, go figure) still "had" one. When I am not in a rush and come up to a CVS, I stop to check if they have them. Paid off today picked up another one and was told that they are expecting more in their Thursday delivery. I guess I will be going back.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Im going to have to try CVS on my way home from work tonight, fingers crossed!
I just ordered a Calibri White Hybrid so I have the dual flame, but I should have just picked up one of these Ronsons instead! Oh I hope my local CVS has um!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

They are still at my Walmart all the time... for about $3 as well. I usually keep 2-3 in stock at my place for ya know....

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

If anyone gets in on these, can you spread the wealth.. There are absolutely none to be found near me.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Damn, my local CVS has the standard 3 pack of Ronson lighters but no Jetlites!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Maybe this is why they are hard to find all of a sudden...

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Oooh sweet......I can't wait to pick up some Zippo lighter fluid scent cologne. :td

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I have a feeling Ronson Jetlites being carried in most all 4,500 Wal-Mart stores and selling for under $3 was killing Zippo. So rather than build a better product, they buy out the competition and kill it.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Actually, to my and others dismay, Zippo is still manufacturing Ronson Jetlite lighters. If you look on the back it now says to contact them for the lighters 1 year warranty and it has the Zippo address. So no fear boys, the Ronson Jetlite will live on!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Nice find Tyler, once again I can sleep at night.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Good news but, where did you get it????

:D

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

The lighter itself? I got it at walmart. They had 4 out at this particular register but I decided only to get 2 and leave the others for someone else haha.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

My WalMart was out of them, but I went to Walgreens. They were priced at $8.99. I bit the bullet, yet it scanned for $4.99.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

The local walmart had some for $3 so I bought 2. I now need to go get some more though lol. I sent those out with NST and bombs.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Make that 4497 Wal-Mart stores. I checked three this past weekend and none of them had any and no one had heard of them. I'll keep looking.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

My local aubuchon has them. I'll check the price next time I am in there.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I haven't been able to find them at any local stores, so I had to settle for EBay at a slightly higher price then what guys are finding them for at local B&M's.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Jump in the NST thread. Good chances that by your third trade you'll have one.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Definitely my plan, just have to wait on a little more inventory before I hop in.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

None of my local gas stations or Walmarts have them. Big thanks to Wallbright for the NST jetlite!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

have you tried checking out a few different wal-marts? the one by me almost always has them. Ive cleaned them out like twice.:noon

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

:tu No problem. I am glad you like it.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

A lot of the sales people at Walmart don't know what these lighters are... best bet is to head to where the tobacco is sold and look around for yourself. I found them after being repeatedly told they don't carry them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

same, and if you cant find them at your local walmart. they are "always" kept in the rack next to tobacco.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

When I have found them at Walmart, they only have them at the one checkout where they sell tobacco. They usually don't have a lot of them, so you have to pick through all the other lighters to find the one peg of Jetlites. :2

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Just to add to this...I usually have to ask the cashier in the tobacco isle for them because they keep them with the cartons at the Walmart I go to.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Local Wal-Mart now has them back, with the Zippo print on the back as others posted. Same price, $2.97. I picked up only one, but there were 10 or so.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Found a Walgreens by me that did have them, but are currently out. $5/ea though. Still not a bad deal.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I went into a local Wal Mart last night and they didn't have any. They didn't even have butane fuel there.

I should check out a Walgreens or something, doubt they'll have them. I have no luck when I'm looking for the simplest things.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

None of the walmarts here sell them, I found an out of the way CVS or maybe it is a RiteAid that has them. Nobody else or any other branches here have them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I wonder if the "other" kind of smoke shops would have them. Ya know, like those stores with a crappy selection of some cigars and then everything else is cigs, 420 crap, and beer and snacks. Those places usually have a crap load of useless accessories. Though a Ronson isn't useless, haha.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I doubt it, most B&Ms and smoke shops seem to never have heard of them. At least the ones i have talked to. It is a shame because they could make a killing on them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Well most of the smoke shops around here, mainly the Asian ran ones, have tons of Zippos. And since Ronson is owned by Zippo now, I would assume maybe they'd have em? I dunno.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

i can get them at the walmart by me. Might be able to pick them up for people :sh

most wal-marts that ive been to carry them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

My regional grocery chain carries them for about $6 each. Last couple of times I went to Walgreens they were out. CVS didn't even have a tag for them.

Been to 3 Wally Worlds, and none have them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Only one I picked up was at Walgreens for $5, I sent it to WittyUserName(Adam) for a trade...it was the last one they had.

Never seen them at Walmart

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Keep looking. They had them local by me for years, then when Zippo bought out Ronson they dissappeared for 8-10 months. Now all of a sudden their back.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

If anyone wants one, I will be willing to pick one up if you can't find them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I will continue to look, but now that I know Walgreens carry them, no worries.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I've found these a grand total of once in the last five years. That's traveling all over a good part of PA and OH. When I did find them they were in a checkout line at the Walmart in PA where I lived.
The SuperWally here has the tobacco at a single cash register. I'll check that option. CVS and Walgreen's here, nothing. They're either a regional thing or they hide them real well, or I suck at hunting them up.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

or i could

or
http://www.carolinabarcode.com/image.../RetailPOS.jpg

a few. :r :tu

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

IIRC, I think they are by sales district, even possibly by store (manager's or store buyer's discretion I think), so not all of the Wal-Mart stores carry them.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Cool your jets, Devan. I have plenty. There's at least three in the pie safe drawer that aren't opened yet, that'll keep me for a good long while. I just continue to look for them so I can gather them up for the guys here.

I think you're right on the money, Adam. Odd how a little item like that can elude a whole area as large as I've covered, but I'm sure the number crunchers have good reason.
I'll put Lisa on this. I'm sure she'll run into them somewhere along the way. She works all over and shops as she goes. It'll keep her off the streets. ;)

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

yay! Local Walgreens had 2 left. I bought both. They were 4.99 a piece. I can settle for that.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I remember when I was looking for these. The Ronson's are not regional at all. It's kinda like the candy that's really hard to find, but sometimes you see it on the shelf. Sometime or another every walmart will get a small shipment on Jet Lites. I was told by Walmart store managers at both stores that they know Walmart carries them, but for some reason they don't get shipments but every couple months.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Looks like Finck's is carrying them, at a bit of a markup.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

Here's my reply from ronson on where to find them
Dear Mr. Smith:



Thank you for your recent visit to our website and e-mail inquiry. Jet Lite lighters are through our family brand Ronson. You can locate Ronson lighters at the following retailers:


CVS

Rite Aid



I hope this information was helpful to you

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I found a couple of Ronson Jetlites at a Rite Aid in Stamford yesterday. $4.49 a piece. A rare bargain in CT.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I find them all the time at Wal Mart.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 

I can usually find them at Wal Mart around here. If you can't find them anywhere, send me a PM and I'll get them for you.
