Lighters

[PetersCreek]

The cheap torches have been hit or miss for me...AND...I've had two Colibris go Tango Uniform on me in a short period of time. Now, I've got a Z-plus insert in my favorite old Zippo case and it works like a champ. At a reasonable $12.95 locally, it ain't exactly a cheapie...but it's certainly not as expensive as most others.

I have also run through my share of lighters. I like Zippos but I hate lighter fluid. So I checked out the Thunderbird lighters by Vector KGM. These lighters are basically Zippos that come already fitted out with butane. They have a lifetime guarantee, come in a variety of designs and work flawlessly. I've been using mine for about three months now and love it. Best of all, they run just $15.00 a copy. The company makes some other stunning lighters as well in torch and turbo styles.
