Good Lighter with Fuel Window - Page 2

Stevez · 07-26-2010, 12:26 PM

Just bought the new Blazer and I love it. I thought it wasn't going to be worth the $38 bucks because I've had such bad luck with lighters just not working consistently or for more than a very short time. I love this one. I just posted a thread about the safety feature on these, but it's easy to dis-engage and the thing works like a charm first time, every time. Good luck.

I bought a couple of these bad boys... next time I see hotreds, I'm gonna hand a few over for the troops.

+1 on the element. I love mine!

Anyone know how much fuel the Xikar lighters hold compared to the Blazer? Or could tell me how many cigars, how long, etc... between refueling?

I tend to refuel the Ronson lighters after two or three cigars.

depends on how you use it honestly. If you list to toast the foot before starting to draw then you'll prob use a bit more fuel versus drawing on the cigar while being it. It's not expensive to get a bottle of ronson butane and that refill bottle will last quite some time.

XTRazzer · 07-26-2010, 06:26 PM

I light cigars without drawing and understand that uses more fuel. But I'm trying not to carry a can of butane everywhere. Don't normally smoke more than three in an outing, so usually two Ronson lighters works.

I smoke 3 cigars per day on average and I go at least 5 days, usually a week, between filling the Blazer. I love the clear tube that shows how much fuel is left. I too toast the foot first before I draw and have found that this lighter goes a long way before needing a refill.

Ordered 10 of these!... should be coming in the mail in the next day or two... can't wait to try it out!

DealExtreme can be slow to ship, usually 10-14 days from Hong Kong.

07-27-2010, 10:21 AM

Just bought two! Can't wait!

I'm partial to Blazer. Had a CG-001 for about 3-4 years. Travelled with it in my pocket several times. To The carribean and back, out to Vegas, Seattle, and a few others. Only problem is that I killed it trying to clean it.

I have never had to carry a can around with me and I carry two lighters just in case someone needs it.

XTRazzer · 07-27-2010, 09:16 PM

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Decided to order a clear Blazer CG-001. Like the idea of the fuel tank being under an extra plastic shell and that the odd safety of the PB-207 is not there.

Next time around I'll go with a Xikar. Always need more than one lighter.

I don't own a lighter that doesn't have a clear window on the fuel tank, but I only EVER use my Blazer due it's consistency.

I bought three of these cheap lighters and only one works. The other two give me a flash of torch and then it goes out. I'm using good fuel too (Vector).
I also have a Blazer CG-001 that works great.

You need to adjust the fuel flow. There is a screw at the bottom that you can open and close to set the flow correctly.

Got a new set of lighters in today. For $50 given that they are quite rugged and reliable, not bad. Oh yeah, that prices was for all 25

Your bombing runs may vary

i've got the blazer pb-207. mine crapped out (probably due to pocket lint and not keeping the cover on it), but their warranty covered it and they sent me a new one in a little more then a week.
