Broke my lighter

[Martin3203]

Dropped it yesterday and the fluid leaked out as it was laying on the floor. Tried filling it again tonight and it won't hold any fluid.

It's a Colibri, anyone know how the warranty is on them?

I won it on CBid a year or 2 ago for $10 bucks. Don't know if I should get it fixed or just buy a new one.

I just got a Xikar single flame from Cbid for $7

If the lighter has sentimental value, get it fixed. Of it doesn't them see if you can get another one

Toss it. Get a dupont. :crosseyed

Personally for $10 and like rdomfoto said, if it doesnt have sentimental value, I'd toss it. If it holds butane and lights my cigars, its a winner in my book.

Toss it and get a Ronson.

Toss it. Get a Ron Swanson

I think that their warranty is only 1 year so at $10 I would cut my losses and get something new.

Unfortunately colibris do not have the best reputation for longevity. I also have a couple that did not hold up. About a year ago I that bought a couple of Bugattis off of c-bid in the $12 -$15 range and have been very happy with them and have been.

Do this

Xikar for their warranty...for life and Ronson for dependability for $3.

 

[Martin3203]

Anyone ever have a flat flame lighter?

I just stare at the cigar until it gets scared and lights up.

There's your problem, Colibri. Throw it in the trash and get a Ronson Jetlite.

If you don't need something fancy, I would just watch C-Bid. I've had very good luck with Jetline Lighters, and they're incredibly cheap.

The past Colibri lighters I've had have all broken.

Like alot of people have said, xikar makes a good lighter and they're warranty is fantastic. Also the Dupont maxijet is great but the best lighter you can get for the price and reliability is just a djeep soft flame lighter lol. Unless you want a torch

 

[YodisMatt]

The lighter that has worked the best for me is a Ronson, best couple dollar lighter hands down.

Rub two sticks together

XIKAR by far for lifetime no proof of purchase warranty. I DO NOT GET FREE lighters from manufactures for reviews! This is my opinion, not influenced.

Dropped my Xikar of a chairlift 3 years ago and never got around to sending it back. Then when I picked up cigar smoking I took it into my B&M they pulled one out of the case and changed it out. Never buy anything else after that warranty.

Exactly. This has been my experience as well.
