eBay & Chinese The best lighter I...

...have found. Clear large tank and a "softer torch flame" that does not drain the tank. Granted I bought 2 of them and one had a leak but the seller has already offered a refund. I am buying 2 more anyway. For less then $5.00 and no postage I think they are great.

The problem I have found with every single "expensive" lighter is they are usually good for 4 or 5 lights and they have to be re-filled because the torch is too strong and the tanks are small.

    Glad to hear he offered a refund, but it is hard to believe there is room for much profit in a $2.50 lighter shipped. Crazy how cheap some stuff can be made for.

    The absolute best lighter I've found comes from China via eBay for $7.99 including shipping (I think) and I'm presently using my second one. The first one only lasted a few years but for that price I sure can't beeitch.

    Not only does it double as a table lighter with a switch that keeps the flame lit, but it has a HUGE tank that's easy to refill and it will switch from torch to soft flame. Now, I ask ya, what more could a guy want??

    I remember you mentioning this lighter before, (I think). And I may have asked you this before, but do you have any info on the seller? I spotted a cheap torch almost like that at Tractor Supply not too long ago and I passed on it thinking it might be a dud, but I'd be glad to know where you ordered yours from.

    They can't, by law, be shipped with butane in them and mine is full.

    I got mine from a seller on eBay but I recently learned that they're available through Mike Tuccelli. I have no experience with customer support from the seller I bought from but I'm sure you'd be in safe hands if anything went wrong with one purchased from Mike.
