My Ronson functions perfectly in mild weather but when I take it fishing in the cold it will not light, any of you cold weather guys have a good cold weather lighter suggestion? It is really pissing me off. Thanks

maybe a plastic one over metal? would be easier to warm up and might not cause issues
[Reply]

That's a good thought.

I just keep mine in my pocket... body heat does the rest...

I use a triple flame Vector most times... maybe that makes it better?
[Reply]

Ya, I have been keeping it in my vest, maybe a move to the pocket is the fix.

ronson jetlite, works better than all my fancy lighters.

May not be glamorous but try placing it under you arm (armpit) for a minute before using it. Should heat the metal body up enough to get it going.

So where I first came here Mike you were Remo_5_0... am I to understand your no longer with the P.D. since you dropped the 5_0?
[Reply]

I normally keep mine in the '5th' pocket.. Works fine for me that way.
[Reply]

Still P.D just got tired of typing _5_0.....:-)
[Reply]

Oh ok... was going to say I thought I read that you still were in my Professions thread not to long ago...

I just use the Ronson Larry bombed me with. Works like a charm everytime :-)

Get yourself a flint w/soft flame lighter.

For example, here is one that says it is specifically for pipes, but that only means it has an angled flame - you can angle it however you like. It does word well, but it isn't necessarily wind proof. http://www.lightersdirect.com/Pipe+Magie.821/

And another one. http://www.elighters.com/im380073.html

And one more. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NNLDDS/...SIN=B004NNLDDS

Coleman makes one too. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043IBXTW/...SIN=B0043IBXTW

Of course, there is always the Zippo. :-)

Glad to be of assistance. :-))))

Hey, that was my first thought. Me, I don't use one, but I understand one can avoid the "lighter fluid taste" pollution problem by allowing the flame to burn for a few seconds, thus burning off the fumes.


Just my :-) , and worth every penny.

My Evertorch works great in the winter compared to most other torches. Getting the soft flame lit with the flint and than activating the torch portion seems to be the best solution for the cooler months. Here's a vid I found on Youtube showing how it works. (not my video) They're a little pricey when compared to a Ronson but there are cheaper version out there.

Had A Different Version Of This Same Lighter For 5 Years, Now, Mike. My Favorite, Heavy Duty Cold Weather Lighter!:-)

I just purchased an ST DuPont Defi Extreme and it works great. Advertised for cold temperatures and high altitude. I can't vouch for either since I live on the coast of Cali, but it works great every time.

Check cabelas or the like. I'm sure they have some sort of survival all purpose lighter
