Took the "plunge"

[tadpole]

I really need to try one of these! But there aren't any walmarts in NYC!

Hit up a Walgreens. They have them in every Walgreens here in Chicago.

It might be hit-or-miss near you. I was in worcester (outside of Boston) a week ago, and went to 3 Walgreens... 2 of them didn't even carry torch lighters of any sort, they only had soft flame bic lighters.

Ahhhh much thanks brother! I'll go and check it out! Hopefully it'll be a hit for me!

My wal mart got a new small shipment of some black ones with the ace of spades logo on it. They're 5 bucks instead of the 3.50 though

Now that's pretty badass. I've only seen the silver ones that we've all shared here and also the ones that were modded by fellow brothers.

I've searched high and low; not in my Walmart nor nearby!

I order mine on Amazon...

Walgreen's has them if there's any around in your neck of the woods.

Having lost my Black Label "paint brush" I read this thread and ordered 2 of these and I am happy with my purchase. Right out of the package the lighter just works. Thanks for the heads up.

They work, but suck ass for cigars, use a cheap triple torch and forget it. It's an uncomfortable lighter to use for a long time, which it takes to light a stick right.

Found my old ronson. It still clicks but wont light. Looking like I might get rained out today if so im going to take it apart when I get home and see what I can do with it

Did you try the quick modification and remove the spring?

I bought one of these and it worked like a champ on the initial fill. I refilled after the first tank, and I cant get it to light again. It sparks a flame for an instant but wont stay lit. I've emptied and re-filled it a couple of times but it still wont light. I used vector fuel that has been 100% reliable in my other torch. Any ideas?

I used them for a number of years. However, since I was pointed to Deal Extreme, I've never bought another. Half the price, twice the tank, same reliability. Best of all, the plastic ones don't get TSA's attention. Been a long time since I lost one at an airport; unlike a number of Ronsons. Get yourself a half-dozen of these and you'll be set for the next decade:

Surprisingly they work better with cheaper fluid. Mine won't work if I fill it with the xikar fluid

Duly noted. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

I use Blazer fluid in mine. I'm sure there's a ton of other cheap fluid cans out there too. Just re-filled both of mine yesterday.

They just need to sit and warm up for 5 minutes or so before adjusting the flame and lighting. At least that's the case with all my lighters when I refill.
