The only one I have has problems like that, it will not spark 1/2 the time, takes several attmepts. I have to flip the little tab closer down to get it to spark.

I use the Ronson almost all the time best I have found

Zippo makes a torch, but it does not have the profile we all recognize. Some (most) inserts will not fit properly in imitation zippos. Also (obviously), they won't fit the Zippo slim lines. I don't know if they fit the retro, re-issues.

Next to my Extends, the Z-Plus inserts are the best single flame torch out there. And you can't beat the price.

Thunderbird makes one and there is the Zplus

I had a Zplus that worked well for a while then died. My biggest gripe was the capacity was pretty small compared to a lot of other torches and I was refilling it all the time.
