Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I've been to nearly all of the wal-marts, CVSs, Walgreens, and other assorted stores, including smoke shops. None of them have these lighters and the B&M I was at last night was out of the z-blaze inserts with no definite time for restocking.

So, at what store do you usually find these lighters?

I dont use a ronson, but I think walmart might have them.

Exactly, I can already see myself losing or destroying a high $$ lighter.

Guess that they are not fancy enough.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
"Super wall mart" has them. All the "regular" wall marts don't stock them.

I just used my Ronsen to light an Opus X a minute ago. No different between a 100 lighter and a Ronsen. It lights just fine. Never will I buy a fancy lighter again.

Oh, you meant this Ronson, now I understand

It seems everytime I go looking for a Ronson I can't find one. Three local Wal-Marts don't have them, none at Walgreens, CVS, then yesterday I went into a Rite-Aid and took a look behind the counter and saw the Ronson soft flame lighters. Behind them though was a Jetlite package peeking out, they had 2 so I got them both. Now I have 3 Ronsons total, 1 Amero Lite and 2 Jetlites. With summer travels approaching I want to make sure I don't find myself out of a lighter.

If you can't find them locally, you can order them from Ronson.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
Rite Aid has them. I picked up several about 6 months ago. I guess I will have to pick up some more as I have given most of them away to friends.:D

:tpd: Been using the same Ronson for over 2 years and it still works like a champ. I really like the heft of it too - very solid. I bought mine at Walgreen's, but maybe it's a regional thing? I guess I haven't looked for one in a while either so maybe they're not stocked any longer.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
my local walmart has a TON of them so if you need a couple shoot me a PM

GreekGodX 04-19-2009 09:51 AM

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
Walmart seems to be the most consistent spot with them from what I hear. I'm gonna go buy some for myself today. If it doesn't work out with other BOTL's let me know I can hook you up with one.

gvarsity 04-19-2009 09:59 AM

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I have also been looking for some of these and they are not available locally. I had one and I lost it and would love to replace it. If anyone would like to trade 1-2 for some sticks let me know.

typically where in walmart are they?

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I just picked up a couple yesterday at Wal-Mart. Look at the checkout section that sells cigarettes and other tobacco. Just before the register there should be shelves (like the ones that normally hold candy/gum, etc) with batteries, matches, and lighters.

Exactly, I have gone through about a dozen of these my self. In fact, just left one in Fl the other day with a Brother-in-law that had flown down. He asked what to do with it as it will not go on the plane. I said toss it for $3.

lightning9191 04-21-2009 03:38 PM

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I find them in the tobacco checkout line.

I would like to publicly thank Col. Kurtz for so graciously mailing me a ronson jetlite and a few selected sticks to come along for the ride. I am thoroughly surprised at the generosity of the members of this board from my short time here.

I'll have to get pics up later.

sticks included:
601 Black Conn. Robusto
601 Red Habano Robusto
5 Vegas Miami Robusto
Slow-Aged 826 by Perdomo

these smell and look amazing, i can't wait to break the lighter in on one when i have some downtime. Thanks again Col.!

Thanks for all the Ronson info. I'm going on a quest this evening.

CigarGuy88 04-23-2009 08:25 PM

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I went to my local Super Wallyworld and scored 3 Ronsons for less than $3 a pop. They even had 3 different case styles, which made the girly part of me very happy. :D

Thanks for all the guidance.

This can't be counted on, but at the BIGLOTS cash register last week I saw
half a dozen and bought 3. But they were 3 bucks each, so the faux discount
fairy got me in the a$$. But only 3 cents each over Walmart, so who could complain.

The regular (non-Super) Wal-Mart by my carries them. Only in the express checkout/tobacco counter line, just before the register.

Dont be discouraged if your WM is out of them. These are the #1 lighter for crack and meth heads so they often are sold out. For my WM restock time is about 10-14 days. :tu

:r:r:r:rthats a good point, I never thought of that. I must not have many crack heads by me because my WM always has them in stock (TONS of them)

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
Hey guys I new here, which I am sure you can tell! Anyways, about a year ago I purchased a Ronson from Walmart and it served me very well for the entire time I used it but a few months ago I lost it. I spent almost half of my day today trying to track down another one, I went to every single Walmart near me, visited a couple of Walgreens and called about a dozen CVS' and other more distant Walmarts, Biglots, and Walgreens and was met with some very confused faces and no luck in finding one. Does anyone know of any other stores that sell them or anyone who ships them? I live in the Dallas, TX area and really want to find another one(or few)! Thanks guys!

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
The online ronson store has then at a good price

http://www.ronsonstore.com/

druturn 05-20-2009 04:47 PM

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I checked out the website and the only thing preventing me from ordering from them is that the total to purchase and ship one lighter is $13. I am not an extremely cheap man but the reason I want to buy a Ronson is because of the price. The fact that they charge $7.50 for shipping an item smaller than the palm of my hand is ridiculous!

I know that with Ronsons that either the places that have them will get a run on them and sell out quickly. I saw on Ebay that there are sellers who will sell themby the 12 pak : Lot of 12 Ronson Jetlite Butane Torch Lighters New NIB $49.95 Free shipping 11d 15h 50m

If you will go on Ebay and do a search for Ronson Lighters you can score a bunch for the price of one Colibri or other name brand. You can go in with a couple of buddies and share the total cost as well.

If this is the same vendor, they also have a Best Offer option. I picked up 12 a couple weeks ago for $40 with free shipping. :tu

Might have been the same guy,,,,this was a Buy It Now price w/free shipping. The same as buying it at Walmart for around $3 a lighter.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
Those looking for Ronson's that can't find in stores can go to the bay and get some from this seller. I got a few from him at good prices using the best offer deal.

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
I was at 4 Walmarts! Super and regular.....no Ronson's......maybe at the Walmarts in Newport News they have aisle's and aisle's of them! :D

Re: Where to find Ronson Jetlite?
 
My Walmart doesn't have 'em, but i did pick some up at Rite Aid for my wedding for $4.95 a piece. Great lighters for the price. Too bad I can't find them at Walmart for $3.

They are also available at most of the military exchanges if you have one near you and have access to it.
