This is the best lighter I ever bought in this price range. I have bad hands and it's not hard to light. The blue flame is about 1.5 inches and it holds three times as much fuel as other lighters in it's class. I highly recommend this lighter for cigars or pipes. It gets the job done with one flame which uses less fuel. It lasts a long time between refueling. I've used it for a month every day and I'm wondering how long the igniter will last. It seems very well built and sturdy for a plastic lighter.

Update. It lasted 6 months and I used it about 10 times a day before the ignition system failed. I took it apart to tried and fix it but no luck. I thought there might be a flint or a battery compartment but didn't find either. I really liked the lighter so the price is right and bought another one. I had to take 2 stars off my 5 star rating I previously had because of the short length of life for this item and for all the fluid that got thrown away with it. There was no way to recover that.

I'm writing this review as a warning to potential purchasers. I made the mistake assuming that the inner parts of a turbo lighter were the same. I chose the TorchZilla lighter as it was cheap, had a large flame nozzle and big fuel reservoir. The lesson learned (again) is: you get what you pay for. In a about a month, the trigger no longer worked. I contacted the seller, and ended up going through a couple of replacements. The TorchZilla replacement lighters also worked for about a month before the trigger plunger failed. Based on my experience, the lighter failures were the same: broken piezoelectric unit. All the TorchZilla lighters broke before the original butane was expended; this puts their build quality and dependability below that of a disposable lighter. Seller tried twice to make good on my purchase, but after my third complaint, the seller never replied. One star for the Seller's efforts. You will be better served by buying a quality brand lighter from the beginning. A quality lighter will have a lifetime warranty and will provide years of dependable service. The alternative, of course, is to use a reputable disposable lighter.

I use this to singe paracord, for which it works wonderfully. The size fits nicely in my hand, with easy access for my thumb to depress the ignition button. The construction is pretty great, and doesn't seem cheap at all.The plastic is beefy, and doesn't skimp on the thickness of the reservoir walls, in and out. The top plastic molding is quite nice and finished too, with a switch that doesn't rattle, and a solid metal cuff encircling the flame spout.

The operation has been really consistent for me, with the torch igniting almost always on the first click. I have the gas setting set to half way, which provides a strong flame to sear cords, without charring or melting the sheath too far below the cut, but also perfect for melting 11-strand 750

The torch's safety switch is perfect nice, which provides peace of mind when transporting with my other p-cord tools. Also, the safety switch isn't difficult to operate, as I have seen others that practically required the help of a screw driver, or opposite, where just simply turning the torch would engage/disengage the switch. This safety gently slides between the on/off positions, and stays put till intentionally changed.

Finally, the torch is easy to fill with standard gas tubes picked up from the local convenient store. One fill seems to last an eternity (this seems to have the capacity of 3-4 regular lighters). I haven't noted any leaking while left alone for extended periods. The magneto igniter switch has held up great too, and the supporting spring is as bouncy as ever.

Overall, I was looking for a non-$50 torch that still wasn't a piece of junk, and I think this torch fits the bill, and more. I think if anything were to give out, it would just be a consequence long term use and normal wear-and-tear. I think this lighter is way better than what either the price or the pictures indicate, and I wouldn't hesitate buying it again.

Ok so i wanted to get a torch to start Dabbing.(Dabbing:To press a piece of cannabis extract known as Wax against a heated surface of a Quartz or Titanium nail.) Sounds dangerous but it's not and its a lot healthier anyway in order to heat up my quartz nail it would have to be on for around 20-45 seconds each use.

Alright so when i ordered this it came in 3 days of ordering which is great ,but when i received it , it was defective the torch would stay on for 5-10 seconds after i stopped the trigger.I emailed them and they sent me another one really quick and it was fixed.It also comes about half way full with butane and i lock to keep it on the flame.The flame is about an inch or less you can turn the butane up or down but it doesn't really make a difference.

So in the end it works great staying on comfortably for 20-45 seconds and is a great deal for the price.

It arrive quickly, and on time, it works - but the seal is not a tight fit and I can hear it leaking butane. I tested the product by filling it with butane; when mostly full, it leaked constantly. It had to settle for about half-full before the pressure lessened enough that the seal held and it stopped leaking.

Pro: Cheap, functions. Design is good, if you don't get a crappy one like I did, it will work well for you.
Con: Cheap manufacturing, products are obviously not tested with gas to ensure no leakage before being shipped.
