Accessory Discussion / Reviews>Got ahold of my first Ronson
etznova 09:47 PM 02-22-2010
Today i found that the CVS stores in my area stock the Jetlites so i bought all three that they had at the moment. And i must say i see what all the hype is about they are very well constructed especially for the 4.29 that it cost me.:-):-)

I also have a set of four that i ordered on amazon coming this week so i should be good for awhile if i lose one or two. So no more looking for a match when i want to :-)

I'm sure you'll enjoy em. They are excellent lighters for the money!

I have one, and it just quit on me. No matter what I do I cant get it back the way it was. I purged and refilled, now all I get is a quick flame then just straight butane. Time for a new one I guess.

Yep, had the same thing happen to one of mine.

I do agree these are quite reliable but I hated having to refill them all the time due to the small tank they have

Sounds like a clog. Spray your butane (or compressed air) down through the burner and I'll bet it will be fine.

Yeah, you can't beat Ronson's for the money. I have a tripple torch that I use to start the foot, but I always use my Ronson's for touch ups.

I'm having the same issue. It's a new one that's acting up too. I tried using compressed air to clear it, but it's still spurting and then the flame goes out.

good tip sir!!! I just tried that with 2 lighters that have been acting up and they both are working much better.

I only have this issue when I am outside in the cold for an extended period of time. When I bring my lighter back inside (for about 10 mins) it's fine.

Behind the counter in my area, somewhat close to the machine made cigars they sell. I just picked one up for $4.50. Not quite the steal that others cite at Walmart prices, but I couldn't pass up the chance to own something everyone raves about. It is a nice lighter for the money.

My local wal-mart and CVS stores do not carry them but my Rite Aid stores do.

Just another option to check if the others strike out.

Found them today in Rite-Aid . $4.49 each

Mine resides in my golf bag... I prefer my Xikar or X-tend for my everydayer.:-)

Definitely a solid lighter for the $ though...

Keep my Ronson Jet-Lite at the office for fogging out folks I don't want to see.
My gamer is the dual-flame Jetline lighter in Steelers black & yellow. Made in Japan. This baby has superior workmanship than the Chinese lighters.
Instantly ignites a 56-ring Oliva V torpedo. I like that clear window at bottom to view the butane reservoir.
Buy 10 and they are just $5.99 each from Rob at Taboo Cigars.

I have a crap load of lighters and love several of them because they look nice and have a great feel. That being said... I carry a Ronson almost every day because I never have to worry other than it running out of fuel. They are so cheap though, I have another one in the truck just in case the one in my pocket runs out!! They just plain work.
