Anyone else but me disapointed in their Xtend?

[Danforz]

Hey guys,

So I purchased a "Limited Opus" Xtend about a year ago. Now, for the ridiculous amount I paid for the thing, I'd expect it to out perform my $25 Colibri, right?

Well, the flame on the thing is tiny. No matter how high I set the gauge, it just doesn't have a powerful flame. The Colibri on the other hand (and my old Prometheus) has a huge saber like torch with a "sharp" tip and lights my cigars instantly. Needless to say, I prefer the Colibri's flame. And the thing is, my Xtend has always performed like this.

Do they just have notoriously weak flames?
