If there is a PING then it is real. Simple test guys.... Actually the PING is a specific NOTE and only their lighters will make that note!

Sorry to say - I've heard a good "Ping" coming out of a nice $25 Chinese knockoff...

That's simply untrue...
Some older models don't make a ping at all, and many of them sound different. In fact the DuPont limited editions such as the catacombs and the 5th ave don't make any noise when you open them and those are new (relatively)
