Return it for a refund if you can and pick up a Xikar.

Just use your $9 and buy 3 Ronsons that will last the rest of your life and light first click every time!

Well for $9 you can get three of these delivered to your door and have a buck leftover for a Double Cheeseburger! Not as pretty but much more functional(you can see the fluid reservoir). These are also extremely durable lighters. Warranty??? Who needs a warranty for $2 each!

These work great. Well worth the $2

Steve, I have a feeling that you'll send the dang thing with the money and never see your lighter again!!! It will get lost in the postage and they'll tell you "Too bad, so sad"!!!

Keep the gifted lighter as a paperweight and use something that works!!!

I'll send it with delivery confirmation

Sorry Steve.

My wife bought a Vector for me, she bought it online from a link that I provided to her. It was acting strange recently and I took it into a local B&M that I know sells them. They sent it off for me no questions asked, no money out of pocket, no cost whatsoever. Matter of fact, I'm going to pick it up today.

They'll get more of my business.

Thanks for the responses. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of line.

I have a Calibri that I've had for close to 10 years that stopped working last year. Even with a lifetime warranty I would expect to pay postage on that, but not on a product that failed after less than a month of use.

I thought about that, but as it was a present from my wife, it is special and I would like to honor the spirit it was given.

Actually, the Ronson that DrHalle gave me last year at ggainey's herf has been the most dependable lighter I've had since my old Calibri died. Kinda sad when you think about it!

Again, thanks for the input!
