I think you're right, Adam. I purchased 6 of each about a year ago and all 6 of the bigger ones broke. 5 out of the 6 broke while pulling off the cap. The entire part under the cap just snapped off. The other one shattered when i dropped it from my chair (2 foot drop). I had been using them for years but somehow they managed to make them of even cheaper material and are garbage now. The Guanda ones on the other hand still work great.

Tom, I'm glad you weren't walking around the house in your thong with the lighter tucked inside like you usually do. That would have been bad.
