Torch lighter advise

timo · 09-02-2009, 02:11 PM

I'm looking to purchase a torch lighter. Something in the 20-40 dollar range. Is XIKAR a good brand? I was looking at the Element. Also the Blazer BP-207. Any advise is appreciated.

XIKAR - Lifetime warranty....no questions asked. Unless you run over it with a dump truck.

For that price, you can get the Xikar Executive from Azon... no waiting!

Kreth · 09-02-2009, 02:24 PM

You can get a dozen or more Ronson Jet Lites in that price range.

well if you are going to spend $40, just buy 20 of these.

I have a Xikar executive, Calibrei firebird and a Ronson jetlight and I use this lighter 99% of the time.

+1 for Xikar, can't beat 'em IMHO

If you're looking for a table-torch, look at the vector with the perdomo logo. They are $30 on cigarsinternational and hold a ton of fuel. Too big to carry in your pocket, but great for around the house.

These are great lighters, Buy 3 and they are under $2.50 each delivered. PM me your addy and I will send one to you. Xikar and Blazer both make great lighters, but if you drop one of these or lose it you are only out a couple of bucks.

Mugen910 · 09-02-2009, 02:59 PM

save yourself the trouble and get a ronson.

icehog3 · 09-02-2009, 03:13 PM

1 vote here for the PB-207.....never fails me.

kgoings · 09-02-2009, 03:13 PM

I bought a $20 triple flame lighter from my local Tinderbox, it has served me well. Dont know the brand, it was some no name deal.

I had a Zippo Blu POS!

I'll be checking that out.

I recommend a Blazer, any model. I personally have 2 of the CG-001.

Blazers also carry a LIFETIME warranty!

I got all sorts of lighters, cheap-mid priced and high priced. For a "pocket model" I most often use one of my dozen or so Ronson Jet Lites, they are the most dependable and under $3 each at some Walmarts. For table top use around the house I use a micro soldering torch most often, works wonderful, lasts a month or so without refilling and just feels good and powerful. Solder It is my favorite http://www.buy.com/prod/solder-it-pt...210438974.html

If you want to look cool, the Alec Bradley table top is top notch!

Blazer makes good dependable stuff for sure.

Pb - 207

GreekGodX · 09-02-2009, 05:39 PM

If you're spending the money get the blazer. Otherwise I'd go with the ronson, and use the rest of the cash for some more sticks!

Spend the $40 on 10 ronsons, and give 8 of them away in bombs.. All you'll ever need is one for use and one as a backup in case the "in use" one runs out of fuel
