Deeg Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 6 minutes ago, juri said: Vector for butane but i had a $70 triple jet lighter of theirs thing would break all the time "free live time fixes" isnt worth a damn if you have to keep paying for shipping, so after the 8th time i said screw it and got another brand only cost $14 and not one issue Vector butane is cost-prohibitive for Japan I'm afraid. The lighter I use is great, a workhorse - just need to gas it up. and that was one thing I forgot to bring with me when I came over.
Donpepin Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Xikar or Colibri. Works fine, no problems at all. Sent fra min CLT-L29 via Tapatalk
Edward7 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I only seem to be able to use st dupont for my ligne 2 lighter. Used Newport on it and it did actually clog it until the flame was 5 mm tall at max. Is there another non dupont brand fluid that fits their screw in thing to refill? The yellow cans I get are not cheap and they are threaded. My cheap butane lighter works totally fine on a giant can of Newport though.
Deeg Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Nothing on Neon, eh? That’s a brand that seems readily available here for whatever reason.
Kai Ø Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I've found Colibri to be highly clogging for my lighters. Personally, I think it's crap butane at a high price. I've spoken to several lighter repair specialists who agree. I'd avoid at all costs. Same experience for me, swapped to Xikar and never looked back. Also works better in colder temperatures during the winterSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Sprouthog Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Currently vector with no issues. Xikar worked well. Colibri clogged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
BeerPimp Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I have been using Colibri for a while but I am almost out and am looking for something good. I feel like a can lasts so long if I have to pay a little more for it the cost per use is so low it doesn't matter. I am going to try Vector. As an aside I purchased a Xikar Allume Dual flame lighter. It stopped working and I tried everything including purging it and making sure the adjustment wheel was all the way down when filling and everything. Finally after some searching I figured out the adjustment wheel had slipped on the lighter. So I took a small screwdriver removed it and adjust the adjuster then put the adjustment wheel back on. Now it runs awesome. The only con is that the igniter button has gotten much harder to push. I still like the lighter but I would say 90% of the time I use a cheap vertigo triple flame lighter.
Hammer Smokin' Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I use the cheapest fuel I can find. But I use Iroda MicoJet lighters. They work with any fuel, at any elevation.
Habana Mike Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Food grade for most, high altitude for a couple of others... Lighters have lasted much longer since started with these.
Str8BlkCoffee Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Newport. It was really the only brand I found here for about 2 years. I stumbled onto another brand far cheaper, but for the amount I use I just would use something that is known. As far as origin it states it is manufactured in the UK.
