Where to find Ronson Jetlite?

JimmyPeaches · 04-18-2009, 11:20 AM

I've been to nearly all of the wal-marts, CVSs, Walgreens, and other assorted stores, including smoke shops. None of them have these lighters and the B&M I was at last night was out of the z-blaze inserts with no definite time for restocking.

So, at what store do you usually find these lighters?

I dont use a ronson, but I think walmart might have them.

Exactly, I can already see myself losing or destroying a high $$ lighter.

I have three lighters...2 of them are over $30 and a Ronson that was gifted to me...lets just say the other two have not been used since I got the Ronson

Been using the same Ronson for over 2 years and it still works like a champ. I really like the heft of it too - very solid. I bought mine at Walgreen's, but maybe it's a regional thing? I guess I haven't looked for one in a while either so maybe they're not stocked any longer.

Guess that they are not fancy enough.

"Super wall mart" has them. All the "regular" wall marts don't stock them.

I just used my Ronsen to light an Opus X a minute ago. No different between a 100 lighter and a Ronsen. It lights just fine. Never will I buy a fancy lighter again.

The regular (non-Super) Wal-Mart by my carries them. Only in the express checkout/tobacco counter line, just before the register.

Dont be discouraged if your WM is out of them. These are the #1 lighter for crack and meth heads so they often are sold out. For my WM restock time is about 10-14 days.

Oh, you meant this Ronson, now I understand

It seems everytime I go looking for a Ronson I can't find one. Three local Wal-Marts don't have them, none at Walgreens, CVS, then yesterday I went into a Rite-Aid and took a look behind the counter and saw the Ronson soft flame lighters. Behind them though was a Jetlite package peeking out, they had 2 so I got them both. Now I have 3 Ronsons total, 1 Amero Lite and 2 Jetlites. With summer travels approaching I want to make sure I don't find myself out of a lighter.

TXRebel · 04-18-2009, 03:34 PM

If you can't find them locally, you can order them from Ronson.

04-18-2009, 03:40 PM

Rite Aid has them. I picked up several about 6 months ago. I guess I will have to pick up some more as I have given most of them away to friends.

Exactly, I have gone through about a dozen of these my self. In fact, just left one in Fl the other day with a Brother-in-law that had flown down. He asked what to do with it as it will not go on the plane. I said toss it for $3.

Oh, it's like just trolling the bait in FRONT of me!!
Perhaps TMC has an unlimited supply of cash, but EVERY, and I do mean EVERY lighter I have ever paid any kind of cash for has broken in no time flat. They tell you they can fix it, just send 19.95 plus your lighter plus 20 dollars shipping and handling, blablabla. I don't care how free the service is, the lighter shouldn't BREAK in the first place. And if it does, why on earth would I ever want to have some crap lighter with a golden price tag for anyway. OK, venting over. Ronson Jetlites provide all of the flame of the competitors costing 10 to 30 times as much, plus they work and work and work. And if one should break, you are not overly upset, because you did NOT pay big cash for it. They can be bought 5-10 at a time if you hit it on the right day, and you come out about the same as Colibri in price. You think that Lambourghini lighter won't break just cause it's costly? Haha, I don't think so anymore. I have seen em all break, or heard about it.
Good old Ronson. If only they were not also made in China. Great lighters if you can find em.
