12 Ronsons $17 until 8PM 12/9/10 - Page 8

hotreds · 12-13-2010, 05:16 PM

Nope, mine did not have a wrap and thus all but one came out of the holder. So, indeed, they had the dings the ad mentioned!

tsolomon · 12-13-2010, 05:18 PM

Got mine today, 11 out of 12 work.

papajohn67 · 12-13-2010, 05:23 PM

Still processing.....but they did email me the chance to get in on their latest offer.

waffle · 12-13-2010, 06:47 PM

has anyone taken the clip out or tried to take the clip out to make them into a true torch as opposed to the mini-torch I'd qualify these as.

Bunker · 12-13-2010, 06:54 PM

I got mine today, same assortment of finishes but they all seem to work.

kelmac07 · 12-13-2010, 06:57 PM

Arrived today...some dings and adhesive all over them. Nothing some WD-40 didn't take care of.

Ferdie...your set gets cleaned tomorrow.

John...I emailed them last night and recieved a response this morning that mine had shipped...and then they arrived today.

MiamiE · 12-13-2010, 07:03 PM

Got mine today. Definately not a Jetlite. Would like to see how they perform on a cigar.

Depending on the nozzle design, it might or might not ever be possible to get a jet flame out of these - you could just end up with a little bit more height on the blue kernel low flame, assuming it doesn't blow itself out on ignition.

I already had a few producing a jet flame on arrival, so I am hoping they can all be adjusted to do the same.

Mine had the cling wrap on them, so no real dings. The adhesive was kind of a pain to get off though. All 12 work fine. I got three types of lighter, as shown here:

And two of the flame:

P.S.
For anyone concerned, the darn things work way better than any of my Colibri in that at least it works.

That's kind of funny, but sad also. I have a very nice triple flame Colibri. It has never once lit for me. I need to see about sending it in I guess. It has sat for years and been in 2 countries with me, and I have never taken the time to see about getting it fixed. Man I'm lazy.

Bunker · 12-14-2010, 06:26 AM

I used one to light my morning cigar (Alec Bradley Family Blend) and it worked fine.

Maybe not as powerful as the jetlight (no sound anyway) but it still is a focussed flame and worked better than a normal soft butane lighter.

Don't bother.
They'll fix it and two days later, if that long, it won't work again.
Been there done that with a few of them.

Did you do anything special to get the flames that high? Mine don't seem to flame as high as that... however, I don't think it'll be much of an issue lighting a smoke using it... just might take a few more seconds.
