DealExtreme Lighters

I love DX for some things (pocket knives, jammer) but have had no luck with their lighters. One even coughed up a fireball and took my knuckle hair with it. Grooming the manly way...

Had same happen with one of mine 2 weeks ago (a triple torch).

Comparing latest batches (this year) and those from years past the new ones seem to be made from thinner (and much lower quality) plastic and definitely seem loose and badly put together. Most likely a different factory (Chinese now contracting Mongolia to make these to bring the cost down?).

Shipping delays wise, looks like when you order 20+ units and they force you to pay a bit more for air mail delivery they do arrive much, much quicker. 3 weeks versus 3 months for me, this year.
