If these are a different model than the Jetlite, I'd be interested in buying or trading for 1 or 2 to see how they stack up against my Jetlites.

Mine are here!
A few scratches and blemishes on some, but worth the $.
Having a hard time lighting them now, but they are ice cold.
I'll try again in half an hour.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

got mine too.. scratched and each one has adhesive stuck to the back.. but they still light right up..

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Try 'em again yet, Dom?

Are they torches, Ron?

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Twelve out of twelve Worked :tu

I would call them more of a windproof lighter than torch at the moment, I will spend sometime tomorrow adjusting them to see if I can get a flame from them.

The element glows bright orange, not much flame.
Definitely different than the jetlite.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Just cranked one up all the way.
I got a torch like flame :tu

I'll try it on a smoke tomorrow.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

If these are like the ones they have at wally world you an take out the little screw on the bottom and remove the case, take the little c clip around the adj. screw off....this will let you crank it up to flame thrower level. :D

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Website shows my order is still "processing"..............:confused:

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Me too

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine too. :confused:

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Of course they did manage to process my payment.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine were shipped on friday. Guess ill have them tomorrow or tuesday.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Same here!

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

:tpd:

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

I got mine yesterday as mentioned above they have some adhesive and a few minor scratches but the all lit right up. Thanks again for the heads up and I hope everyone gets them soon.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

:np

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

My order finally says shipped!! :tu :tu

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

My order shows in my town, out for delivery today so my mailman should have them here in a couple of hours.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Got mine today....half-assed packing job but I guess that doesn't matter with lighters.

2 different styles, 7 of one style and 5 of another.

They all appear to work, although most will need adjustment to make them true "torches".

Still not a bad deal at all for $16. :2

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Agree.

Just got mine a few minutes ago.
The packing cracked me up.
They were just thrown loose in the box so therefore, I kind of now understand what others were referring to as "scratches".:r

They all work fine and well worth the price of poker.

Mine also had that removed sticker glue residue.
Nothing adhesive remover can't take care of.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine still have pieces of the "Made in China" stickers on about 1/2 of them.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

How do floridians already have them when mine shipped out on the 9th and they haven't even got to the post office yet and I'm in NY!?

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

I'm in Chicago. ;) :wo

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

I'm in MD and I got them today.
Very crappy packing
This is how they looked when I opened the box
http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/a.../IMG_6372a.jpg

This is the condition they are in; a little scratched and looks like something was stuck to it
http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/a.../IMG_6370a.jpg

And this is the flame
http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/a.../IMG_6375a.jpg

Overall I would buy them again, and thanks Tom for the headsup.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

:r

Here is my set.......after putting it back together as my box looked just like the one in the previous photo post.

P.S.
For anyone concerned, the darn things work way better than any of my Colibri in that at least it works.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine should arrive today. They're probably landing right now, except I'm at work.

:lr Thanks to comments like that, I never bought a Colibri, even though I wanted one.
I have a Prometheus that my local B&M owner recommended. I've had it 3 years, and it still works great.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

My order of 12/9 still "in processing." They did manage to charge my credit card.
If they get here to the upper left corner of the USA, should be around March 2011.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine should be there today, we shall see :)

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine are still processing?????

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Got mine, All work

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Of course... I order one to go to my house in MA and one here in Syracuse and the one in MA (where I wont be until saturday) is coming in today.... what is wrong with this picture....

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Thanks mario and Blue for the great pix, now if us guys up in Washington will ever see ours who knows....

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine came today, all loose and rattling around the box. But, they appear to work which is all I- and I'm sure the troops- care about.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine were nicely packaged.

I'll have to learn to post pictures from my phone.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Mine also!!!:bh

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Got mine today, about same shape as everyone else, few scratches and some sticky stuff, but all work. Now dont have to worry about loosing any when doing my yard work, or needing packing material when shipping a newbie trade. :noon

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/...3/54b8b554.jpg
Maybe this will work better

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Nope, mine did not have a wrap and thus all but one came out of the holder. So, indeed, they had the dings the ad mentioned!

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Got mine today, 11 out of 12 work.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Still processing.....but they did email me the chance to get in on their latest offer.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

has anyone taken the clip out or tried to take the clip out to make them into a true torch as opposed to the mini-torch I'd qualify these as.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

I got mine today, same assortment of finishes but they all seem to work.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Arrived today...some dings and adhesive all over them. Nothing some WD-40 didn't take care of. :tu Ferdie...your set gets cleaned tomorrow.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

John...I emailed them last night and recieved a response this morning that mine had shipped...and then they arrived today. :D

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Got mine today. Definately not a Jetlite. Would like to see how they perform on a cigar.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

Depending on the nozzle design, it might or might not ever be possible to get a jet flame out of these - you could just end up with a little bit more height on the blue kernel low flame, assuming it doesn't blow itself out on ignition.

Re: 12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10
 

I already had a few producing a jet flame on arrival, so I am hoping they can all be adjusted to do the same.
