Review on πŸ”₯ Titanium Flint Lighter by Vargo by Jeremy Taylor

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible ergonomics, takes some practice. Good luck replacing Flint

The small size and useless clip make this lighter uncomfortable to use, it will be useless in cold hands. On the other hand it works well if you have the handling/dexterity but with cold hands/fingers I don't see this device working for me due to the small diameter/width. I have no problem starting my Trangia burner with this flint lighter after doing some experimentation with ignition and spark direction. If this device was 1/2 longer and without the useless clip, IMHO it would be worth it. The clip actually digs into your fingers, making it a bit awkward to use. I try to understand every piece of equipment I use in the field because there are no errors when I'm 30 miles from nowhere. This Striker is not field serviceable. I took out the flint to see what would be required for service when this unit stopped working and was my only detonator, struggled to put it back together and needed a vise to put it back together. This is an outdoor device. For the cost of this device, the only plus is the titanium.

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
