Ronson Jetlite

One little noid for me with these lighters:

I have 5 of these and one thing I wish they would change is the rotation of the lid...make it so it would flip beyond 90 degrees. Seems like my cigar is always hitting the lid.
 
No shortage of this lighter in PA---picked one up last week to take to Mexico-- $2.94 + tax (need to take care of our blood sucking Gov. Rendell
 
Thanks everyone. I don't need a new lighter but now I'm on the hunt for them because of this thread. I feel like I'm on a mini scavenger hunt. Hopefully I'll find them quick because I'll end up ordering them online and overpaying.

Both of the walmarts near my house in Austin don't have them!! Dang't! I need a torch and I want to get one. Anyone know a place that sells em in austin?

Check some of the local drug stores, like CVS, etc. But you need to get there early to get them before the meth heads. :tu
 
I picked one up awhile back that was a different color then the silver one I had. Although the flame adjustment doesn't work on it, and it always has a really low flame even when adjustment is set to highest setting..?
 
I just picked one up at Canadian Tire (go Canada!) for 6.99$, so far its working better then my Collibris and Nibo's which cost 3 times as much...
 
Disappointing! I just tried to order one from the online store but they only accept orders from mainland US...Sadly, Ronson UK are a bit different and make 'premium' (read expensive and too fancy for me!) lighters so I guess they aren't available here.

Does anyone know differently?
 
I was told about these at a herf a few days ago. The first Wallyworld I checked didn't have any, but I was able to pick up 3 smooth finish this afternoon; 2 in silver and 1 in gunmetal. They had a bunch left in my local Metro Detroit store, in packages hanging from pegs above the butane in the tobacco lane. Here, they are going for $2.94 + tax.

If anyone is in need of these, PM me. I'll be happy to pick up a few for you. Most of the rest on the rack had designs on them, in case you have a preference. See post #10 for a picture of some of designs.

Well, one of my month old Jetlites broke last night. The Piezo ignitor just gave up and would no longer "click". Otherwise it worked great until then. These lighters all seem to use the exact same ignitor, I might just try to scavenge one from something else.
 
I had one go down with a defective ignitor a couple of years ago, the click went away when I pushed the ignite button. The main problem that I have had with these is the top of the case getting loose and just flopping open in my pocket so now I carry my PB-207 and use the Ronsons at home.
 
Walmart won't carry them in some areas. I think it's probably because torch lighters are also needed by crack whores.
