Pedro2486 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi All Currently single, so I get to buy my own valentines day present to celebrate rank consumerism. So, my question to everyone is. What is your current/favorite lighter and what implement of flame would everyone recommend? I'm using a ten buck jet lighter or my soldering torch that I use at work depending on where I am. Obviously I need to shape up and get with it. So help me please Come on baby light my fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a black label flat flame lighter. Cost a little over $100us I mainly bought it cause I like the gadget factor and it came in a copper finish I also have a triple flame Siglo lighter that I use a fair bit. Both havw been faultless for 100+ uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My current favourite lighter is an Iroda micro jet. May be a lot bigger than my Xikar Axia or Blazer EVO, but it will last a Havanathon weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beamer Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a Vector single flame that I paid $10 for about three years ago. Works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm not keen on jet lighters, don't like the charred character they can bring to the first third even if they are lit slowly. However I've had a Colibri Baumont for 8 years and it's still going strong. Not keen on the boxy look of the new version though. Vast majority of the time I use a DuPont ligne 1 large soft flame i grabbed from eBay for £35 then restored. 40 years old and still lights amazing. Great build quality 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obviousadams Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a bunch of different lighters but prefer the Maxi Jet. I just picked up a Defi Extreme but it's still in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targa88 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Another vote for the Dupont Maxijet. Great lighter - don't use anything else anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cohiba Stevie Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 St dupont maxijet or xikar tech as my go to torch flames. Favourite lighters are my sarome psd-1 soft flames. Amazing build quality and without the fuss or upkeep of a traditional st dupont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecapo Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I own a 1000.00 usd St. DuPont but I also have a 12.00 usd Jobon. This Jobon is the best by far I have ever used. Jet stream bi torch flame, all heavy metal construction. I have even sent one to Rob. If I known how to upload a pic I would. I found it on eBay. Check it out. I bought 4 and gave 3 away.

jacktarnold Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm kind of a hoarder of lighters. I've got ones from the cheap Ronsons from walmart or walgreens but my favorite two are my Maxijet and then my colibri dual flame that is both a soft flame and a torch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patric M Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a drawer full of them. I think it's a side effect of smoking cigars. I have found that I like the single flame more. They are easier to control and not burn the to far up when your lighting it. I have found that most lighters are the same regardless if they are $5 or $500. They all seem to work the same. The only difference is materials and brand names. Some of the most common ones I use are the $5 Deal Extreme ones with the built in punch. That one is a dual flame but they have a good "point" for lighting. I also Vertigo torch lighter. I got it for around $25 I real like it because the "point" on the flame is the fines I have seen and it has a huge fuel tank with windows all around. I have a pile of Xikar lighters that I never use. They don't hold as much fuel and you gotta worry about loosing an expensive lighter. I use those ones more for at home. But I also have the Xikar one with the magnet cutter on it. I sometimes take that one to herfs because it's all in one, although the magnets in it suck and they on't really stick together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I use a jetline triple flame. ^^^This^^^ Very inexpensive and highly reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Festa Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Had a couple over-engineered Xikar lighters that lasted about 6 months each. Now I use a Less Than Jake zippo I got at the 1999 Vans Warped tour in Noosa, which has been retro fitted with one of those jet flame things that Smithy gave me.

Philski Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My trusty Cartier, over ten years old and has never let me down: Also have a Dupont jet lighter and a Ligne 2 but I never use them - the flamejet feels cheap and plasticky, and the Ligne 2 just doesn't fit my hands properly, feels like a heavy Zippo.
