Ronson JetLite Torch Lighter - Page 4

Razorhog · 02-18-2010, 12:19 PM

I've had one Ronson fail...after a few attempts at purging/refilling/cleaning I chunked it and opened up another.

These lighters are great...only 1 problem.....They are so cheap and work so well that when I lose one I do not care.....so I have probally gone through 5-7 of them, but they are a great lighter.....

The thing I learned about these is they really don't like good fuel, I use the cheapest stuff I can find to refill them and they work great!

off topic, but Ronson is now part of Zippo

I wonder if that has anything to do with some Wal Marts not carrying them. Coming soon to a Wally World near you: Zippo Jet Lites, only $25...

If you're lucky enough to find them, that is. My walmart stopped carrying them.

Uh Oh.... gotta run some errands later..... might have to see how many they got on the shelf.

Try putting the fuel can in the top of the lighter, this should clean out the dirty jets. That is usually the problem when you have a wide flame.

joeobx · 02-18-2010, 01:40 PM

Thanks I,ll give it a try.

Did the inverted can trick and the lighter works like new. Thanks for the tip.

Good to hear, doenst cure all problems but if the jets are dirty this works like a charm. I thank Ratters for passing this tip on to me.

Yeah, I might snag a few more myself. I have mine, a herf backup, and my wife has the first one I bought over a year ago, plus I like to keep a few on hand for bombs/trades.

Nice just ordered some for myself been wanting one for awhile haven't been able to find them locally

smottman · 02-18-2010, 04:40 PM

Zippo has purchased Ronson

02-18-2010, 06:50 PM

If anyone wants.....My local has a ton of them...just picked up another 3 tonight after reading they got bought out by zippo.....I can make a run for the BOTL's that do not have access to them. Mine were $2.97 ea and shipping should be less than a dollar in a padded package.

If anyone needs access to these little gems.

I know that I am new, but just thought I would offer.....not so new on some other boards...

I sent that thing out the 13th I guess it had to go nearly across the country. Glad it made it in good condition.
