Colibri Rant
 

I'm just wanted a forum in which to vent my frustration. Why would you after a lengthy conversation tell me to send my virtually unused Trifecta in for repair with an enclosed check for a paltry 7.50. Leave me feeling like my lighter is going to be fixed and returned in three weeks or so... only to send me an invoice for 60.00 dollars for a replacement lighter due to unavailable parts to fix mine. Colibri Stinks!

The ones I have had and died, go straight into the trash. I will not buy another Colibri as I could spend $7 on a cheep lighter and have it last about the same time before it breaks down. :td

My Extends have been great:tu

Re: Colibri Rant
 

I bought a Colibri lighter once.

ONCE. ;)

Re: Colibri Rant
 

Sorry to hear about your issues.

Thanks for letting us know about your frustration. Personally I've never had a colibri and never will. I have a co-worker that tells a story about a brand new lighter that he had to send in for repair. When he got it back it still didn't work.

Sorry to hear but...................
:r

The laughter is that I have yet to meet someone that has had a Colibri long term, with little to no issues.
Every one I have had has taken a dump and they were $100 + lighters.

Re: Colibri Rant
 

Wellll, my Colibri torch lighters sucked, however, I have two or three Colibri Morpheous's (pipe & cigar lighter in one) and they all have been working great...that's the one that if you press the button one way you get a 45 degree soft flame to light a pipe and if you press it the other way you get a small torch for a cigar...

Re: Colibri Rant
 

I think Dustin has the only one good Colibri ever made. I've made the mistake of purchasing three over the years and they were all garbage.

Re: Colibri Rant
 

Mine must have been a lemon because it did actually work.

I carried this thing around for a couple years. All the paint was warn off from rubbing against keys in my pocket, and it worked like a champ every time. And then I lost it. :bh

Re: Colibri Rant
 

I have two. One was bought in '97, the second in early '07. Both work flawlessly (I do use Blazer fuel).

I guess I have to count myself lucky.

Re: Colibri Rant
 

I think mine must be a lemon too. I've had a Colibri Firebird for about 2 years, and its been working great the entire time...... Though it is the 3rd Colibri I had, and has outlasted the others 10 fold.

Re: Colibri Rant
 

Patrick... that is so wrong!

Have you tried the Z-Plus insert you won at the herf at your house? Not a bad lighter (once you get the zippo case for it.) :ss

Re: Colibri Rant
 

I've got a Colibri Vortex 2 that I've had for 3 years now that's never given me any issues. Lights every time on the first or second click. It was my primary lighter for the forst 2 years, but now that's gone over to my EverTorch.
