I'll probably end up sending back my Xikar Element too. It lights about 1/3 of the time and it's getting worse.
My Xikar xi2 cutter is also jammed up and no longer works after less than a year.
Not not rag on Xikar, I had another expensive torch lighter (Colibri I think) that frustrated me so much with not working that I threw it away. I also have a CI lighter that sucks. Every torch lighter I've owned can be blown out simply by having it too close to my face and not holding my breath, to say nothing of a gentle breeze. I use Xikar fuel, so I don't think they're getting clogged up.
At this point I'm willing to go as high as $200 for a reliable torch lighter.

PM me your address and I will send you a $2 lighter that will outlast all your Xikar's.
