Need: Inexpensive Windproof, Butane Lighter

[godfather]

I've been doing some searching online and can't seem to find an inexpensive lighter. Nothing turned up when searching on this forum.

I want a:

- Butane one.
- Re-fillable if recommended.
- Windproof

Everyone wants $30 or more, or is this the price I should expect to pay?

Where do you guys gets yours? It doesn't have to be online either, I live in California and could get one in a store, just unsure where.

Also, where is a good place to get re-fillable butane?

Thanks in advance guys. I apologize for the newbie ignorance.

Look around at local gas stations for a "Q-Lite", (I think that is how it is spelled). They are cheep (Less than $10), refilliable and super tough (Mine has survived about 100 fishing and hunting trips). They also look pretty good.

Convenence stores or ebay, if you go with ebay search for "torch lighter" - should come up with endless possabilities.

Got a Tiger on ebay for $5 and a Nibo for abot $20...both are great, both have triple jets...do an ebay search on lighter +triple and you should see a wide variety...NIBO is good, ECIN is good, Tiger is good...as they are butane and have 3 jets they're pretty windproof...

I got something called a Firebird (I've heard it's a Colibri, but it contains no other branding) for ten bucks at my local shop... I asked for a cheap lighter, that's what they hooked me up with. :)

If you're not smoking on the wind-swept tundra , simple wooden matches are just as good, and usually free. :)

I ended up finding a Firebird Lighter. Works pretty well and I can't wait to try it out tonight with my new smoke. Thanks everyone.

Here's a picture, hopefully this will stay working:
