Refillable Floating Lighter with Waterproof, Windproof and Impact Resistant Construction for Camping, Backpacking, Hiking and Outdoor Survival

My lighters work. I used Zippo Premium Butane Fuel.Great lighter. The torch is pretty strong and will likely work in higher winds. The seal looks good. Big reservoir (although I only use six seconds of fuel per fill). A quality item. The only problem I found was that the plastic on the clasp broke. I replaced it with some electrical tape. On my second lighter the clasp broke off completely (this is the metal clasp). But even without the clasp the lighter is not easy to open in one's pocket.

This lighter works great, even above 11,000 feet elevation!!! I have tried dozens of torch lighter for altitude use. All of the rest get flaky above 7,000 feet, and most quit working above 8,000 feet.I have spent $100's testing all kinds of torch lighters, with some costing $50 or more. This lighter worked flawlessly above 11,000 feet. The key is adjusting the butane to a LOWER setting at altitude to compensate for less oxygen. There is a little adjusting ring on the bottom of the actual lighter, to dial down the butane mixture. Adjust that to the minus side.The actual lighter is a separate piece, that fits inside the orange over-cover. Adjust it for LESS butane at altitude. I have tried dozens of torch lighters, at every mixture setting on those lighters. This is the only one that works reliably at high altitude.The lowly Bic lighters always work, at any elevation, without adjustment. However, windproof is a major advantage of this lighter, and the torch aspect works better with many things in the camping world.The whole lighter weighs 0.9 ounces, and I ditch the orange cover, and just use the lighter inside, to save the 0.3 ounces that the orange cover weighs. The internal lighter has a clear fuel reservoir, so you can easily see how much fuel is left. This thing is the high altitude winner!!!

For the price this is the best I have found. I carry mine all the time. There is a plastic latch that keeps the cover closed, along with a small metal clip with a small piece of plastic tubing that is designed to add security to the closure. I purchased enough of these for myself and my sons. The plastic tubing that holds the metal clip securely has fallen off all three. I replaced with some the sheaths some gutted 325 paracord that does the trick. This issue does not compromise the water tight seal as the plastic latch provides a tight close, but under duress this latch allow the lighter top to open. If you are rough like I am and carry this in your pocket, you will want to mod the metal clip. The lighter has never failed to light, even after walking through waste high water.The lanyard hole is thin. If you use a small ring, or just use cordage, you should be fine. I used a larger key ring and the lanyard hole fatigued and failed. I used some gorilla tape and only use some leather as a lanyard. I don't fault the device on this.The lighter mechanism is excellent. The throttle is a little touchy, but once set it is perfect. It lasts quite a while on a tank of butane. I recommend using the muti-filtered fuel in any lighter designed for survival or bushcraft. This also lets you achieve a somewhat higher temperature and is good for higher altitudes.While I have made some comments here that are issues I had, for the price the design is good and I feel this is a reliable device.

Ended up with 3 of these. Dropped one when filling and in broke into many pieces. Other could not get to work ,third works greatI which they would make this better quality.Use super quality light fluid, not the cheap stuffLights under extreme windMostly a cigarette lighter as the flame is small but shielded from the wind. Takes a bit to light a large cigar.Rubber bushing on latch wore out on all three model, I was using the other two as donors to get one quality lighter(still use it)

Bought this for my husband and I have one myself that I purchased at West Marine for about $7 more. These things are great!!!!! We live on a boat and I kept losing lighters to salt water and now I've actually had the same lighter for more than a month! The fuel lasts quite long and we smoke a lot of cigarettes. I've had other windproof lighters but this is the best one I've had. Love that I can put a clip through it and hang it on my belt. The rubber part on the latch broke on mine and my husbands pretty quickly but it doesn't really affect much.

If I could rate this as a negative 5 star I would. This lighter completely SUCKS.I purchased this for a 10 day trip on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. Thinking a wind and water proof lighter would be handy on a 10 day kayaking trip with no resupply and no easy exit. In truth, it would have been great, since my jet boil is finicky and doesn't always want to light.However, there is ZERO information on the type of fuel, or the filling information on the packaging, literature or website.By the time I finally found a youtube video that at least explained how to fill this useless pieces of crap - the hinge had completely disintegrated and fallen apart. Mind you, this worthless piece of junk has never been on an excursion or even a mild day hike... It has remained safely and snugly stored in a Rubbermaid bin with assorted other hiking/kayaking/backpacking gear.I have sadly owned this useless piece of plastic for almost 2 years now.I tried this evening to give it a (not quite sure, but lets just go with ) 54th chance to work.I shook the bejesus out of the butane fuel.I inserted it level and straight into the insertion port for filling.And the fuel just sprayed out everywhere yet again...I did this in the recommended upside down and perfectly level way.To say this is probably the most useless and pathetic piece of crap I have ever purchased is hopefully an understatement.I would sincerely hope that the chia pet I purchased as a joke for a holiday yankee swap was far more worthwhile.I REALLY wanted this to work.It REALLY doesn't.
