Colibri... kind of a let down

I have a Colibri Providence triple flame lighter. Love it! Lately though it's become really finicky and unreliable. I clean it with compressed air, use Vector 5X fuel, in other words, I keep it in great shape. I called Colibri to get some repair help and come to find out the lighter has been discontinued and they will not clean/repair/replace it. Ok, I understand a 2 year warranty (even though I've had this lighter for less than that time) and they won't replace it but to not clean it or repair it is a let down to me. Oh well, I'll keep using my $2.95 Ronson (lights every time) JetLite.
