Good Lighter with Fuel Window

XTRazzer · 07-25-2010, 06:30 PM

I could use some opinions on a good lighter that has a sight glass or window to check the fuel level. Single or double flame. Price limit is $50. Color isn't too much of a concern as long as it's not pink.

Currently use Ronson lighters, while these work well, I always seem to grab one that is out of fuel before leaving.

Thanks.

They Also Make A "Copy" of the Blazer Called jetlite You can get on e-bay for cheap. If You Want the best, though, Go "Blazer"!

I don't own a lighter that doesn't have a clear window on the fuel tank, but I only EVER use my Blazer due it's consistency.

Blazer or Blue Flame (Blazer knock off)

Said before and I would like to reiterate. Doesn't get much better than a Blazer PB207

I appreciate the input thus far and please keep the ideas coming. Although I'm a bit surprised as I was thinking Blazer had poor reliability and customer service.

I bought a few Blazers back in mid '90s. Been using one of them since, no issues at all. The rest are still new in box.

Been using my blazer for years, no problems yet.

Blazer's are the best lighter for the money. These are great cheap lighters as well. Idea:Buy 25 for $50 shipped, keep 5 and send 20 to the troops!

For the price you cant go wrong. I have a blazer, and I still reach for this sub-$3 lighter more often. The best part is that if it craps out, or I loose it, it was only $2.80 shipped.

DealExtreme can be slow to ship, usually 10-14 days from Hong Kong.

I bought three of these cheap lighters and only one works. The other two give me a flash of torch and then it goes out. I'm using good fuel too (Vector).
I also have a Blazer CG-001 that works great.

You need to adjust the fuel flow. There is a screw at the bottom that you can open and close to set the flow correctly.

Blazers are the most reliable lighters I have ever owned. So you want more ideas? Buy two Blazers and keep one at work.

Xikar Element is nice for around 30 bones.

ValorBali41 · 07-26-2010, 12:40 AM

Go for a Coleman Black Piston. A little more money $20.00 usually but its a great refillable and really durable
