Hello all,
I have been herfing for a little over a year now and bought a Colibri Quantum lighter when I started. I am having the same problems that seem to be endemic to almost all Colibris: negative ignition. There are few things quite as embarrassing as going to a herf and having to borrow a lighter because yours refuses to cooperate. I can blow out the burner area with compressed air and it fixes the problems for a couple of weeks but the lighter recidivates; sometimes the compressed air trick doesn't seem to work and the lighter acts like a small child: working when IT wants to work.
I would like to buy a lighter (preferably a dual flame) that is dependable and is less than $200. Does anyone have a recommendation for me? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
