I have a couple of 3 jet touches, but like this 2 jet soft flame lighter. Just wish it held more juice!

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.

I got a new lighter (two actually) today and was going to post them up when I saw this thread...
Admittedly Im always the first person to tell anyone that asked me NOT to pay tons of money on lighters because they always break or get lost. So what do I do... New additions today are the two on the right (Jet Line Touch Laser Quad and a Xikar Tech Triple Flame)
Heres the arsenal pictured (left to right & top to bottom):
Top row: Jet Line Pipe G (soft flame), Blazer GB-4501 Torch, Jet Line Touch Quad Lighter
Middle row: Vertigo Dual Torch, Vertigo Venom Triple Torch, Vertigo Cyclone Triple Torch, Xikar Tech Triple Flame
Bottom row: Zippo Sturgis, Zippo Blue, Colibri Quantum Edge Ultra Thin
Heres the Quad in action
Heres the Jet Line GB in different stages of action. I like it because it will go from full soft lame to welding torch and everything in between with a simple adjustment.
The Ultra Thin Colibri hasn't worked since a couple months after I got it but its engraved and my wife gave it to me for my birthday in Dec 2002 (thats engraved on the back). We met just two months prior in Oct so it sticks around for sentimental value.
I tossed out a Promethius and another Colibri a few days ago because they haven't worked in years not to mention countless other Colibris over the years.

This calls for a step by step DIY instructional post.Alright... as promised, here are the lighters I've done in the past (including the new Guerrilla Warfare).
First attempt was the UC lighter.
Second was the Las Calaveras lighter.
Finally... the GW lighter. This was the first attempt at putting a band on the lid, and it went well aside from not PERFECTLY lining up.
I had one on Puff! I still have all the pics, so it wouldn't be too hard to replicate it again. Might as well!
I added a Man O War band, from the cigar I smoked last night, to one of my Ronsons. I used a glue stick to attach it. Have to pick up some clear coat for it but I love how it looks. Thanks for the inspiration!View media item 46838

And a few others
One I finished yesterday.
It didn't turn out how I initially planned due to a blemish in the band, but it turned out ok. Not my best, not my worst.
If anyone wants one made shoot me a PM. You provide the band/lighter, tell me what you had in mind, pay for paint($4) if I don't have it already and shipping. Some people send me a nice stick to enjoy while working on it, but I just enjoy working on them. It relaxes me.
