Colibri Rant

Sorry to hear about your issues.

Thanks for letting us know about your frustration. Personally I've never had a colibri and never will. I have a co-worker that tells a story about a brand new lighter that he had to send in for repair. When he got it back it still didn't work.

Sorry to hear but...................

The laughter is that I have yet to meet someone that has had a Colibri long term, with little to no issues.
Every one I have had has taken a dump and they were $100 + lighters.

Wellll, my Colibri torch lighters sucked, however, I have two or three Colibri Morpheous's (pipe & cigar lighter in one) and they all have been working great...that's the one that if you press the button one way you get a 45 degree soft flame to light a pipe and if you press it the other way you get a small torch for a cigar...

I think Dustin has the only one good Colibri ever made. I've made the mistake of purchasing three over the years and they were all garbage.

Mine must have been a lemon because it did actually work.

I carried this thing around for a couple years. All the paint was warn off from rubbing against keys in my pocket, and it worked like a champ every time. And then I lost it.

I have two. One was bought in '97, the second in early '07. Both work flawlessly (I do use Blazer fuel).

I guess I have to count myself lucky.

I've got a Colibri Vortex 2 that I've had for 3 years now that's never given me any issues. Lights every time on the first or second click. It was my primary lighter for the forst 2 years, but now that's gone over to my EverTorch.
