How long does your lighter last?

[WOXOF]

How long does your torch lighter last before you have to refill it? I have a Xikar Executive that I really like but it doesn't last long on a tank of butane. I usually only get 3 or 4 cigars out of it. I completely purge it everytime I refill it. I don't ever get any blowback when filling it either. I'm thinking maybe I'm not filling it completely. Can anyone else that has an Executive offer some advice.

Thanks!

my Colibri triple flame $85 sucks fuel like a slade!!! 3 cigars at most and my Colibri single torch sips fuel like a Yugo!!! always purge before filling.

My triple flame Nibo is good for about 6 cigars, and I only use it at the golf course. By twin flame cheapie has a smaller tank and is good for about the same. My favourite is the Z-Plus in my Zippo. That thing is good for a dozen or more.

I have a Z-Plus and I love it. I dont know how many cigars I go through, but I'd say at lease a dozen.

I get a good 15 or 16 cigars from my cheapie twin torch. Now that I hear about you guys getting 3 or 4 cigars before refilling I'm even happier.

Can't beat a cheapie twin torch with 2 different punches built into the bottom for $25.

I can get a few boxes of cigar out of my PB-207. I've never seen another lighter that lights as many cigars.

Ditto here, but it sure does light a cigar fast, no matter how big the ring gauge!! Also good for campfires, burning off warts, excess body hair, getting rid of loudmouths hanging around, etc.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm probably using a lot of butane when I light. I know that it's completely purged before I refill it.

My firebird with the little smily face stinks. Maybe about 3-4 before it hisses with no flame. Yep, I bleed it everytime.
My Nibo triple flame is alittle better but still maybe only 6-8 before it hisses with no flame.
I have what looks like a pb207 but came from a convenience store about 5 years ago before I even smoked that works best and has a sight glass to see how much is left.
Last I have a Jeep (non Jet) that seems to last forever and is still half full. I kind of prefer the milder flame if the wind isn't blowing and I don't feel like I overheat the cigar..

But hey, That's just me...

My Ronson Jet is getting 12 to 15 cigars per fill. Single jet, can't beat the price of $2.94 at Walmart. Paul

i use my firebird for lighting everything so i'm not really sure how many cigars i can get out of it.

haven't treid yet, but my triple torch blue rhino will probably get 8 or so at least

I like the Colibri also. I have a single torch and a double torch. I have an Ecin too, double torch. I go through several cigars on both , and burn my fingers too!

My Dupont Xtend works like a charm. I never purge it, It lights in all temps, and I usually get about a dozen sticks per fill, at least....

Nice lighter

Mine is the same, however I normally purge before filling.

My colibri lasts all week, but it is sensitive to low temperatures. If I leave it out in the cold, it is sluggish. Glad I didn't spend too much on it. Wish it had a fuel gage too. When I first got it, it emptied after a few cigars. Gotta burp em.

[cigar no baka]

I can usually light at least 6-7 cigars on my lighters with smaller tanks, and 9-12 with my bigger ones, so your Xikar must have a really small tank or it may be that you are using a lot of butane with each light.

I am luvin my Blazer PB lighter.

I have a few of them. My favorite is the clear one. This way you can tell how much fluid is left in it. But, it does last a very long time in between refils. I smoke everyday and only fill it once or maybe twice a week.
