    Default Lighter Help

    I've been smoking using BICs and the cheapest torches I can find for years now, and I feel that it's come time to finally invest in a classier, metal flip top lighter, especially considering the promotion I am up for at my job.

    However, I'm having difficulty finding some in my price range. I'm in search of a butane flip-top lighter under $200, not a torch. The Dunhill Rollagas is one of my dream lighters (I prefer the look of Dupont Line 2, but their stupid gas cartridges are too much of a pain for my taste and I hear they're rather heavy anyways), however that is clearly out of budget.

    Is there anything similar to those type of lighters in the sub-$200 range I could go with?

    I just bought a butane insert for a Zippo style lighter off of Amazon

    Those look really cool, I've always liked Zippos'. Did you get the torch or soft flame, and how do you like it?

    Mine is a soft flame and I like it a lot.

    I'd have never bothered as I already own two XiKar torches but the wife bought me a zippo style lighter with the RyJ emblem on it as a present a while back and I wanted to be able to use it.

    I have a couple torches as well. I've been thinking about getting a soft flame for my desk. The Zippo might be the one. Thanks.

    I firmly believe an 80 dollar lighter isn't far behind a 200 dollar lighter ad far as actual quality goes. The most I would ever spend is 60 on a nice xikar. And I have.
