I think I got a dud Xikar lighter

[Flounder]

Same problem with a Bugatti Lighter, according to CI its MSRP is $100... None of the suggested solutions work. Anyone aware of their warranties?

Found it. Any suggestions on fixing it before I pay to send it back?

The MSRP of $100 is completely bogus. I would say it's worth about $20 and even at that price it's not a great lighter. CI frequently tosses these in with combo deals in such a way that I would guess their actual cost on them is somewhere around $7. I don't believe they have any kind of lifetime warranty.

EDIT: If it's going to cost you more than a couple bucks to mail it back to them for repair or replacement I'd suggest tossing it and getting something else.
