Ronson won't light!

MiamiE · 07-27-2010, 05:00 PM

I have a Ronson Jetlite and when I depress the little lever to make a spark there is no click. Just goes straight down. Butane is coming out but no flame or spark. It's not "clicking" either when depressed. I know they're cheap but this is my trusty Ronson!

I have never had a it not spark before, but like everyone else said time to toss it.

Does anyone have any experience with the blazer look-a-like torches? I'm curious to know if they last longer than the Ronsons.

MiamiE · 07-27-2010, 05:38 PM

RIP Ronson.

NeuRon · 07-27-2010, 05:54 PM

throw it in the trash dude.. its $2

they arent "trusty". they are disposable lighters, lol

MiamiE · 07-27-2010, 05:55 PM

I know, I know. It just makes me sad.

icehog3 · 07-27-2010, 06:23 PM

Suck it up, Buttercup.

dunng · 07-27-2010, 07:11 PM

RIP...

dwoodward · 07-27-2010, 07:48 PM

Mine that I ordered from Cigars International just 2 weeks ago is already dead too... I must have used it like twice lol

Cheap lighters = Fail.

Unless it's a Bic, than it could be a lifesaver.

per Cigar asylum suggestion I picked up three of these over a year ago from Wal-Mart. just pitched my first dead one, the other two are still going strong. Not the most reliable light in the world, sometimes it takes several times, but they have been good to me.

kelmac07 · 07-27-2010, 10:44 PM

Sorry brother...time for a new one!!

cricky101 · 07-28-2010, 08:49 AM

I'm on my second year of use on my Ronson. I should try to find some new ones since this one can't last too much longer ...
