I have 4 or 5 XiKars that were gifted to me, brand new. Not a single one still ignites itself. They all still work, but I have to ignite them with a Bic. I've sent them back to be fixed, but shortly thereafter no more workie.

The lifetime warranty is great, but a real PITA with the luck I've had with them. Honestly, they are really great when working though.

I have a couple $7 - $10 single flame torches that have been working flawlessly for years.

My humble opinion:
Everyday: Bic
Golf course: Cheap torch
Disc golf: Whatever dude
