XIKAR Crossover Flower Jet - Page 2

I can see where the flower jet would be a nice feature. A shorter flame when you are facing th foot of your cigar. Intense heat at the center but no flame going around the wrapper and climbing up your cigar. Let us know if it works this way or if I'm full of crap.

I have to ask as I'm interested in this lighter and currently have an EX.

Is this "flower jet" like a soft blue flame similar to the AB table lighter that is basically a bunson burner? I wouldn't mind having a second bad ass lighter on hand.

My EX is going on 2.5 years now and it's works like a champ but would like to send it in for cleaning/refinishing. If I send it in I have nothing reliable to use. So I'm eying up this cross over but where I work has the slim lighter/cutter combo and I like them as well.

The Crossover is nothing like the AB table lighter, which I own as well. As far as the Flower Jet flame is concerned...I was told that the this type of flame produces a wider heat source than a typical single flame torch. I don't the technicalities behind the whole thing, but I love the lighter, and I only need to fill it once a week at the most.

Thanks much for the clarification. Hmm I should nudge the bosses to order some of these before christmas for potential gifting wives. That way I can check them out and buy possibly.

i have that same design of a lighter i won at a B&M that did a xikar event and it has the hc box peices in the center of it but the flame is like a zippo flame with a butane canister

How is it holding up? Would you buy it again if you could do it over?
