Review on πŸ”₯ Long Jet Flame Torch Lighter for BBQ, Stove, Fireplace & Camping - Refillable & Adjustable Butane Lighter (Gas not Included) by Jon Louis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice design with one big flaw

This is an attractive lighter, it is mechanically reliable and easy to use. I have two problems with this. First, the neck is somewhat flexible. It's minor, but it does move around a bit, which is annoying. The second is more problematic. I used Ronson butane so it might have been different with a different brand, but I really struggled to get it to fire. It turned out that I had to slowly turn the adjustment knob to the position where it was constantly on. The minimum position didn't appear to be releasing any butane, while the maximum position had too much flow and was blowing past the igniter. I confirmed this by pointing the lighter at the flame of the gas stove. Once I found an intermediate position that worked consistently, I found that I couldn't change that position even a few degrees or it wouldn't ignite. Now the lighter works reliably, but only after three clicks the first is empty, the second splash, and the third - a normal flame. I emailed the manufacturer, but the response was unsatisfactory. My lighter may well be an exception judging by other reviews, but I don't recommend it.
