Cool.

Mine had the cling wrap on them, so no real dings. The adhesive was kind of a pain to get off though. All 12 work fine. I got three types of lighter, as shown here:

And two of the flame:

That's kind of funny, but sad also. I have a very nice triple flame Colibri. It has never once lit for me. I need to see about sending it in I guess. It has sat for years and been in 2 countries with me, and I have never taken the time to see about getting it fixed. Man I'm lazy.

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

I used one to light my morning cigar (Alec Bradley Family Blend) and it worked fine.

Maybe not as powerful as the jetlight (no sound anyway) but it still is a focussed flame and worked better than a normal soft butane lighter. :tu

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

Don't bother.
They'll fix it and two days later, if that long, it won't work again.
Been there done that with a few of them.

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

Your item was processed through and left our BETHPAGE, NY 11714 facility on December 13, 2010. The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

Fail! Ordered it within 5 minutes of my first set going to MA. That package was delivered yesterday...

Snooze you lose... I missed the boat. They look nice! :tu

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

Did you do anything special to get the flames that high? Mine don't seem to flame as high as that... however, I don't think it'll be much of an issue lighting a smoke using it... just might take a few more seconds.

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

I just cranked the adjustment screw on the bottom to the + side. That's one of the lower flames too. Most had a bit higher!

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

Yup....I bought a Colibri lighter once.



Once. ;)

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

I emailed them!

They sent a DC# which let me know it was shipped on the 10th!!!:tu

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

Just in case anyone is wondering what these pups can be dialed up to.
I removed the screw from the bottom and opened the case.
Removed the gasket o'ring and then popped the clip.
Check this out.

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

I'll be looking for you on the "Needs Prayer" thread!!!:D

That O'ring was probably there for a reason... Just sayin'!

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

It is.
It is on there to hold the clip in place that prevents you from opening the throttle up a bit more.
At some point, if you throttle it up too much, you will defeat what you are trying to do as the unit will no longer work.
Have no fear. I have done this to many lighters, including Colibri.
You have got to see this done on a triple flame. Scorches your eyebrow.

Have you rewired the dishwasher yet?

You are Tim the Toolman no?:sh

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

Hopefully mine was shipped on the tenth also. Let me know when you get yours

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

Mine came in... all different designs.

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

My order is both "pending" & "processing" per my account info.

No response to my inquiry.

While I may still be "processing" I'm far from "impressed".

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

I'm in the same boat. Not good customer service as far as I'm concerned.

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

Between the packing (or lack of), the shipping, the server timeouts, and the "pending" stuff, shnoop pretty much lived up to their reseller rating.
Hopefully it'll work out soon for you guys. Fortunately it's not big dollars tied up while you wait for resolution.

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

Same here.

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

guys, check your accounts. I just had someone try and buy a plane ticket on Saudi Arabian airlines with my card. shnoop is the only sketchy place I have used it recently, so it pretty much had to come from there.

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

No account problems for me... I used poopal

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

:tpd:


Hope they resolve your CC issue quickly.

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

Mine was like that too, but they did respond to the inquiry and I got my lighters on Tuesday...order was placed on Thursday.

I hope everything works out for you...but I wasn't too pleased with their service as well. I tried calling the number on my statement, and it goes directly to a "No one can take your call...submit via website" message.

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

My order is still in process as well. I have sent an email query.

But if you shopped here expecting service then you are on the wrong boat. These kind of sites are not known for service, they exist to closeout merchandise at low margins and low prices. :2

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

Same here. Still processing. No response to my inquiry.
Miserable service. It's not like this is the only place selling lighters.

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

Carlos is known as the Cuban Tickler....err Tinkerer. :r

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

No worries. My tracking tells me they're in San Pablo. Bob should get his today or tomorrow, and I should get mine tomorrow or Monday...

I don't know about you, Steve??? Maybe never with that attitude!:D

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

Thanks Carlos! Just converted mine! Now I wonder how a Jetlite would perform!

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

Saw on one of the other public sites that a couple people who used their AMEX cards for this purchase have had fraudulent airline ticket purchases attempted on their AMEX cards. Please take a look at your on-line accounts if you used AMEX for this purchase.

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

:tpd:

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

:tpd: I paid using PP, so I need to check on my exposure, but I'm hearing about crazy stupid charges being made.

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

What Tom said.
My Amex card was hit with charges for

Turkish Airlines $1275
Air Canada $5500
Amer Airlines $900
All were caught by the fraud dept.

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

That sucks!!!:td

Thanks for the heads up!

Just checked on VISA! It's good!:tu

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

WOW!! Glad I used PP, hoping everything works out. Guess this will be the last time I order from this place.

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

PP here too

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

Contacted them a 2nd time...tracking number provided and whatever they are sending is currently enroute. I'm sure I'll something else to ***** about by the time the package arrives.

Well, you did leave a word out of this sentence... ;)

Just checked my card, all is good.

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

Thanks Hugh.

BTW - pennywise appears to be the same entity as shnoop, so might want to be careful with the CCs and just use PP.

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

Well mine finally says that it has shipped

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