My only semi-decent lighter (A Xikar) has disappeared and I am tired of trying to use all the crappy ones I have laying around the house. Who can recommend a reasonably priced lighter that will work when I need it and has a farily large fuel capacity?

Thanks all

Mark

I am a fan of Ronson JetLites. Of all the dozens I've bought only a few had working issues. And at their price I give em away lose em what have you without a worry.

Single flame torch, $3.00 at wallymart, will run for years if you use Vector or some other good fuel in them.

another option is to buy one of the combo deals from buylighters.com - the have grab bags sometimes with 6 lighters that may not be the best lighters but you don't feel bad if you lose them

Yep!

One of my two favorite lighters. The other one is a tri-flame torch gifted me at a herf in 2004 by CW old timer Fingerless Phil (Rich) who doesn't visit much any more. We miss you Rich.

Not finding them at Wallyworld, at least not around here.Went through the first 10 pages of Google hits: nothing but inflated prices and eBay. Oh well.

Ronson jet lite lasts me longer than any of the high falooting brands - not even close.

If you need a Ronson can't find 'em lemme know I think they are plenty in my area
