FOH Ashtray and FOH Lighter

[jmg]

thanks pres!

[luv2fly]

have to say I am loving my lighter

[KGM]

Just thought I'd weigh in on the lighters if anyone is having issues like I did. I live at 5,700' elevation, so this may be a contributing factor.

I ordered two. Opened the first and filled with Xikar. Lighter would only light one out every 10 times. If that. When it did, it would stay lit for almost a second after releasing the lever, hissing butane for even longer. Opened the second one and loaded with Colibri fuel (both fuels are triple refined). Same exact problems. Yes, I did purge both units before filling.

I opened the lighters back up, removed the metal clasp on the inner "fuel cell", and adjusted the flame control an extra half turn down by lifting the control knob above the gear wheel and rotating right (without rotating the flame control gear). Then reseated the knob on the wheel and rotated all the way left. Then reattached the metal clasp and reinserted into the lighter.

This resolved all my issues with both lighters. They now light 9 out 10 times (the one time it doesn't light, it does the second try). They both now go out as soon as I release the lever. No more escaping butane either. I am super pleased I bought two of these. I do a lot of short flights, so one of these will be permanently store with my travel gear while the other will enter my regular lighter rotation. Can't wait to test it's cold weather reliability where most of my other single/double torches fail.

Amazing looking ashtray

Placed my order once Rob found my box of cigars. Can't wait for the ashtray and lighter!

[Cubatabaco]

Is the ashtray still available?

I tried this and still no luck, it was working perfectly for about a week tho. It's all good tho, I used it a lot while it worked!

Just let Di know and she will shoot out another. No probs. We don't get a lot of returns (like none as far as I am aware). I have seen one dud in two years so it does happen.

If it is not lighting, check where the spark is going. You may need to bend it a little closer to the ports.

My first Iroda used to send the spark to the outer shroud, instead of towards the ports. I'd be clicking 10-20 times before it would light properly. After bending the little wire closer, it worked first time, every time.

I noticed the little spark wire in mine is off to one side so it always takes a few goes to fire up. I also have an intermittent problem with the plunger slipping out of alignment, and misses the gas button on the fuel cell as a result. I can open it up and push it back into place but that gets old pretty quick.

[Habana Mike]

Yeah, mine's gone dysfunctional as well. Tried the spark wire trick et al., no joy

[Hypersomniac]

I got mine last week. Gorgeous ashtray. The lighter hasn't given me problems, but I will want to fiddle with it to adjust the flow of butane.

[subport]

Same here. One out of two stopped working after a few days. Cant do anything with it  well... 

[FalseCast]

Do the majority of the lighters work long term? I was considering adding one to my next box order. 

[Cerebrum]

The answer is yes imoh. Add one to your order! You will not be dissappointed.

I'm looking forward to the travel lighter, I'm on a plane almost weekly and tired of scrambling to find something when I land.
