Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ IM Corona Chromium Old Boy Lighter by Beeye Klaver

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works in the wind

Good lighter. It's heavy, shiny, and generally looks like a nice piece of chic. The action is hilarious (vaguely steampunk). I only smoke outside so sometimes I have to fight the wind. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no windbreak around the gas nipple and it blows fairly easily even when you turn on the flame. The one-way bic was my fallback (much better in the wind). It stopped working even after a few weeks. It behaved as if the valve was sticking (opening and closing several times, sometimes working again) until finally it didn't produce any flame at all. The seller sent me a letterhead saying I was using gas of insufficient purity; but I used the recommended Colibri Premium Butane the whole time. $130 for a lighter should produce something pretty flawless. Revain has a copy of this thing for $18.
