Note: It does take more care and maintainance to keep a nice lighter running. If you follow the manufacturers instructions you should be fine. YMMV.

I hate lighting with anything other than my Tri now.....esp. outdoors. It is HARD to get a good light with a Zippo or match outdoors. Last summer I was in Aruba (my Tri was confiscated by TSA at my local airport, they kept it for me until I got back) and I had to light with matches....it was PITA.
My Dupont has never once given me a single problem and it has had almost no care. It's like owning a Glock. Run over it with a truck, drop it, get it dirty, doesn't matter, still works! Drop a Colibri and you'll be lucky if you don't bust all the parts inside. They are over-manufactured and overpriced pieces of crap! But that's just my opinion.

I asked the guy in my local shop what the return rate was on his Colibris and his reply was a very quick "HIGH".
