I'm sorry for you loss. You should smoke a cigar and lay your Ronson to rest.

Though most Ronsons do eventually fail, Jquirit has been using the same Jetlite for about 2 years...

:-) I have a Xikar plunge that a friend gave me for my B-Day, I use it daily, I have probably re-filled it ~5-6 times since the middle of March (it holds a TON of fuel)

That's what happened to mine last month. Not a big deal since it was soo cheap. I think that's why people love them. they are cheap and reliable. THough they do fail eventually(as do most if not all lighters), they are soo cheap, it's hard to get upset about it.

PB-207 gets my vote too. It's not the slickest looking lighter, but it does its job very well.

Ronson gets my vote as well. When I first learned of them I use to be one of those guys who would pay $100 plus for a "good" lighter and probably went thru at least $1000 plus. When I got my first Ronson 6 months ago I thought that this thing looks good, lights great, takes a recharge wonderfully with 3x fuel and lights first time every time. Next time I went back to the store I bought a dozen of them and am still using the first one I bought but if I lose it or it stops working,,,BFD. As far as I am concerned I have enough lighters to last me the rest of my life and for $36,,,where do you find a better deal?

Got mine today from David @ Heartfelt. Works great and got it in 2 days!
:-) Thanks for the "Tip", Smokey Joe!

I've had my PB-207 Blazer for 3 years, although not the fanciest appearance, it gets the job done and that's what it's all about. I can always count on it and I've never had to "click" it more then twice. Tom is spot on pertaining to the reservoir. It's a big one.
:-)
I also have a Blazer Chief II, which is just as reliable and very easy on the eyes, but a bit more than $50.00.

I would argue that the ultimate synergy of form v function resides in the Dupont xtend.

I have a Xikar Exodus - It is such a great lighter (BTW I prefer a soft flame)

I have had a ronson for abotu 7 months now... the only time its ever "not lit" was when it was very low on fuel. For 3 bucks you cant buy a better lighter.
Here's an interesting question, whos got the oldest working ronson?

My old crappy bic finally died on me, I had read this thread before so I headed out to Walmart in search of the ronson. Man I can't believe I did not goto this lighter earlier in my smoking career! This is the best lighter I've ever had and the price made me giggle like a little girl. I bought a Jetlite and a bottle of butane for
Five Bucks!
If anyone is looking for a cheap lighter thats high quality (no pun intended), get the Ronson Jetlite!!
