  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Looking for an inexpensive lighter

Ok, first things first...i'm sick of spending big money only to have the lighters "walk away" or have them quit working altogether such as the case with the last Colibri. I'm looking for something inexpensive but not cheap. Any ideas? I've always been fond of the Colibri flint models but no way i;m spending $80-$100 for a company thats out of business. Was looking at a Lotus Vertigo Impact but would like some ideas...or donations! Just kidding!!! Thanks in advance...

I just got a Xikar Enigma lighter. It has a lifetime warranty & wasn't extremely expensive. It has a duel flame torch & you can see how much fuel you have in it. It adjusts easily too. I'm very happy with all of my Xikar products.

Yup, Ronson at Walmart for about $3.50 best cheap lighter by a mile for me. I bought several of them and keep them all over the place so I am never without one.

Ronson has a few that look a little different. All seem to work just fine, are inexpensive, and work great for the one's I buy at Walmart. I find them at the check out line where they sell cigarettes.
