just a few general questions about the lighter in l ink above.

1. how is the build quality?
2. is this a jet flame or a normal flame?
3. how fast does the butane run out?

thanks.

Hi!

I have a colibri and I find the quality to be very good. The one in your link is the electro-quartz model which just has a normal flame (I was looking for one for my GF).

As to the butane, it depends on how much you use it (not to be a smart-butt) but I use my torch fairly often and it's pretty easy on the butane.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the info! that site really helps. why didnt i ever think of going to the manufacturer site to find some info.

how much do these lighters usually go for in retail store in sauga or toronto?

The one I was was looking at was on sale for I think $45.00

You can find them cheaper and more expensive depending on where you go. I would advise you to never buy them from square one or eatons center as I have yet to see a deal on smoking accessories at either mall. Dixie Value Mall has some at the engraving store, not a big selection, but sometimes they are really cheap.

I've seen a lot of people suggest e-bay, although I have never personally bought anything there.

The best deals I have persanally seen locally is at Cigar Studio during their "Valentines day Massacre"

Colibri lighters are cheaply made and not worth the money. I have owned one and it broke within two weeks and I treat everything I buy with respect and I dont abuse it.

I wouldnt purchase it.
