Review on Double Jet Butane Torch Lighter by Kollea - Ideal Cigar Lighter by David Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feels good, easy to use

Ready to use I really liked the ridged texture. It's a smooth knurling, so it doesn't feel like a trainer, but it offers nice tactile feedback. I also liked that the cap works independently of the trigger. So if something goes wrong and you pull the trigger hard while it's in your pocket, your pants won't catch fire. Right now I have 2 to 2 1/2 minutes of burn time and the meter is half full. It would be nice if they included the burn time in the specs as it's impossible to tell the size of the tank unless I take the unit apart. The Kollea name is etched into the metal which is nicer than printed - it's not as bright white as the photos, that's the only thing I didn't like about the product photos. The logo is only on one side. The tilting head and long side trigger are really good - I had no problem lighting multiple candles even with the wicks a few inches deeper in the can. Time will tell the finish but I hope it holds up as the gunmetal color is really nice. My last lighter (of another brand) was a similar color, but the finish had worn away around the edges and corners over the course of a year, and the underside was copper-colored - an unsightly wear pattern. The first impression is that I am satisfied with the Kollea brand and this lighter. .
