A game that didn't pay off

As mentioned, the ignition just stopped working - in my case after a few days of use. The button still had the same mechanical resistance and a sharp click when pressed, so it didn't look like a mechanical failure. There was just no more spark. Also worth noting: the gas supply valve was not tightly closed. Drained almost a full cylinder overnight. I capped a full bottle, made sure the valve was tight, and brought the nozzle to my ear. The hiss of escaping gas could be heard. It was a good product for a short time and based on the reviews it works well for many buyers. But some buyers describe these different failure modes the same way I do. Failure of the ignition function indicates hidden component defects. Inadequate sealing indicates design tolerance issues and/or manufacturing variability. That.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
