Do Xikar make any other or better lighters that you activate on the side with your thumb?

I have had zero issue with that Xikar, it fires every time without fail.
They make lighters with all kinds of goofy triggers. Shop through their
lighters page.
Someone already mentioned it, but you can return any Xikar anything, anywhere, or ship it back to them and they'll repair or replace it free, forever.
I fail to see how you can beat that.
A lot of lighters can get fussy about what kind of butane you put in them, or so it's said. Personally, I don't think it's the butane as much as how they get full of air and need purged from time to time.
I've found that if I use butane with a metal tip, I have nothing but problems. If I use butane with a plastic tip and purge the tip before I fill, I have zero problems.
It's a crazy mystery. Lighters have always been a pain in the ass for me.
I have the best luck with table-top models. I still haven't found my table-top lighters, they got packed away when I moved and they're still lost. When I find them, it'll solve all my problems.
Xikar has a side trigger table top, you might want to look at that?
