I could use some opinions on a good lighter that has a sight glass or window to check the fuel level. Single or double flame. Price limit is $50. Color isn't too much of a concern as long as it's not pink.

Currently use Ronson lighters, while these work well, I always seem to grab one that is out of fuel before leaving.

Thanks.

They Also Make A "Copy" of the Blazer Called jetlite You can get on e-bay for cheap. If You Want the best, though, Go "Blazer"!:-)

Blazer or Blue Flame (Blazer knock off)

Said before and I would like to reiterate. Doesn't get much better than a Blazer PB207

I appreciate the input thus far and please keep the ideas coming. Although I'm a bit surprised as I was thinking Blazer had poor reliability and customer service.

Been using my blazer for years, no problems yet.

Blazers are the most reliable lighters I have ever owned. So you want more ideas? Buy two Blazers and keep one at work.

Xikar Element is nice for around 30 bones. :-)

Blazer's are the best lighter for the money. These are great cheap lighters as well. Idea:Buy 25 for $50 shipped, keep 5 and send 20 to the troops! :-)

I bought a few Blazers back in mid '90s. Been using one of them since, no issues at all. The rest are still new in box.

Go for a Coleman Black Piston. A little more money $20.00 usually but its a great refillable and really durable

I have the ones above and also this one:

For the price you cant go wrong. I have a blazer, and I still reach for this sub-$3 lighter more often. The best part is that if it craps out, or I loose it, it was only $2.80 shipped.

I use THIS and it's great. It was gifted to me by CasaDooley :-)

Listen to the wise advice on the dealextreme lighters. I have had mine for years now and I abused it pretty badly and it still works for $2.

I appreciate the suggestions.

Searching a bit more, I came across the Blazer Little Buddy. Fixed cap and adjustable flame seem like good features to have. Is this as good as the PB207?

Xikar Element looks nice but I don't need the punch, although it would cut down the amount of junk in my pockets. I do like the features on the NXT a bit better than the Element.

The plus for Xikar is the lifetime warranty versus Blazer one year warranty.

Rumors abound (:-)) that the dealextreme lighter (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4179) can be carried in your pocket through security checkpoints without a problem.
