Lighter Review - NIBO Wave 11

[chadth]

I received a NIBO Wave 11 torch lighter with my humidor and thought I would do a review of it.

Manufacturer: NIBO
Model: Wave 11
Cost: $15.99
Type: Single Flame Torch
Warranty: Lifetime

Look and Feel:
The NIBO 11 is a moderately heavy metal lighter with a nice shape that forms to your hand and feels comfortable while holding it. The design and weight however seems to be a bit bulky to put in your pocket. The torch feels twice as heavy as my zippo. I tend to prefer a more light weight lighter as I tend to carry a lot of stuff in my pockets.

Function:
I cannot keep this lighter lit. I tried draining the butane and re-fueling and adjusting the valve. I have never had so many problems with lighter ever. Though the lighter has a lifetime warranty, I doubt it will be worth the time and shipping cost to send it back and receive another. Hopefully mine is defective and this isn't a common issue.

Follow-up:
The lighter now appears to be functioning properly and reliably after draining some of the gas out of it. I don't believe this thing likes to function with a full tank.
