Review on Triple Jet Flame Butane Torch Lighter With Visible Tank Window And Punch Cutter - Strong Windproof Refillable Lighters For Men, Ideal Creative Gift by Kristopher Tight

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slick! Electronic ignition is rare these days.

This review is for the dual mode version with the soft flame plus purple torch flame.I have been looking for a lighter with electronic ignition. Not Piezo, an actual battery powered spark. This one does that. I wanted a soft flame, check. The torch is a bonus. For a pipe smoker this thing would be ideal. Some pipes/tobaccos work better with a soft flame, others need a torch. No pipe needs a multi-head torch. Too much flame will burn the rim of the bowl.Anyway I am using this lighter to light my Zippo handwarmers. The soft flame is just perfect. It is far more reliable than a Zippo lighter. Yes, I said that. My Zippo lighters need refilling evey time I pick one up and try to use it. The SomGem has worked every time.My main complaint is the lack of a sight window. I can't tell it is empty until it quits. I also can't tell if I get it full. The first time I filled it I only got about 5 lights, then it went out.btw, here is a tip for filling a butane lighter: chill the lighter in the fridge, but keep the butane can at room temperature. This will create a much higher pressure in the can than the lighter. Filling will be almost instant. You can also warm the butane can in your hands or pocket. Never heat it beyond body temperature!Now here is a thought for the manufacturers: wouldn't it be cool if someone made a lighter head that would screw onto one of those Thermacell(tm) butane cylinders? It would hold a ton of fuel, and you could also see the level remaining. Come to think of it, a torch head would also be useful. I have lots of stuff like this on my wish list.Anyway I like/recommend this lighter. It is very unique, fun, and functional. That is what lighters are about.oop, forgot to mention, the #4 flat screwdriver bit out of that bit kit that you have fits the flame adjustment screw perfectly.

Pros
  • Built-in punch cutter that lets you quickly and easily prepare your cigars for smoking
Cons
  • The punch cutter may require significant pressure to operate effectively, making it difficult for those with weaker hands or arthritis
