Been wanting to get a Vector mega pump for some time but when I really looked at it practically I couldn't justify getting one. It really only pays to have it if you have a lot of friends over regularly to smoke cigars which lately hasn't been the case. So, I came across the
Jetline DT-101 which is a sort of hydrid torch. It's something practical that you can justify using daily for yourself but also is large enough to handle any mini herf with your friends. The price difference is also a major factor as well. Vectors mega pump can run $100 compared to the jetline at $40. I can't really compare fuel storage as I don't own a vector but i'm fairly sure it stores more but the Jetline is no slouch either and has huge storage itself.
The Jetline runs great with no issues so far plus the leather exterior give it a classy look. I've never been a lighter junkie. I've never owned an ST Dupont which I hear are great but again I just can't justify the cost when I could be buying cigars with that kind of money. I've had a couple colibri's with one purchased and the others gifts and they've all broken down. Don't get me wrong I love beautiful things but I guess it's my fathers nature in me that it has to be practical for me as well. If i'm paying $200 for a lighter to me it has to work on the moon as well as light my cigars and it can NEVER break but that's just my mind. This Jetline on the other hand looks nice and is quite the workhorse. I bought it in sept 2013 and haven't refilled it yet and we're talking a 6+ a day cigar intake so I'm quite happy with it and can definitely recommend it to anyone considering getting something larger in terms of a lighter for home. It also has some portability as well but only as much as a hand grenade in terms of size so I wouldn't hesitate bringing it to a herf for myself and friends to use. The vector I'd have tp pack while the Jetline I could pocket if needed.
Guys, I know I tend to ramble a bit so I apologize for that. Unfortunately it's the only way I know how to communicate that I really like this lighter.
:-) My english teachers hated me for turning in 5000 - 10,000 word essays when all that was called for was 500. I was the stephen king of those classes.
