I guess they're pretty new? Haven't seen anything on them yet.
Currently using a decent Colibri that someone got me for my birthday, but it's fuel capacity is zilch and it's not exactly the most reliable thing out there.

I can't justify spending $100+ on an X-Tend and I think the Blazer is a bit too big to carry around comfortably. Plus it's ugly.

I've been using one for a few months now with no problems. Reasonable price, I say go for it.

One of my local shops has been carrying them for a little while now and they say they can't keep 'em in stock. I played with one a couple weeks ago while there. I haven't converted myself yet but they do seem solid enough. I'll probably pick one up.

For 25 bucks I say go for it. I have a Blazer & it works every time.

Friend of mine has used one for several months now with zero problems. I can't say the same for my Colibri Cyclone.

I like mine and it has a lifetime warranty.

I just received mine, went through 1 tank, tried to refill, lighter no longer lights. Repeated attempts resulted in flame shooting out the side of the lighter near the handle part you squeeze in.

I contacted Xikar about this.. let's see how they handle it.
