  • 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.

My Xikar Tech lighter is not working right. Looks like a weak spark and not igniting very often.
I am leaving on a fishing trip in Canada in a couple weeks and am afraid I won't have it back by the time I leave if I send it in now.
I am debating on buying another Tech. I like the large tank and the ability to see the butane level in it.
Anybody have any recommendations on another lighter, or should I just get another Tech? I want to keep the cost the same or cheaper.

Thanks for any help

I'm all about cheap lighters.
Ronson
Yibao
etc.

They work and work. Just use good fuel. Plus you can buy a whole fleet for the price of a Xikar.

Send it in for warranty repair, and grab a Ronson at your local Walgreens to with you if it's not back in time. No reason to buy a whole new Xikar for one trip when you know the other one will be working shortly, and the Ronson will be more than adequate for the trip.
