Blazer CG-001 Lighter Problems!!!

[OLS]

I think it goes without saying that short of an IRONCLAD guarantee, one should never pay over
4 bucks for a lighter. And even with the gurarantee, sometimes postage to send it back to have it
fixed is worth the same as 10 good cheap lighters.

Painting with a pretty broad brush there . Maybe it "goes without saying", but I don't regret the money I paid for my Blazer. Since I don't typically carry extra lighters with me, I like having the one I do carry to be reliable.

I just got back from a trip where I purchased 2 Ronson Jetlites at WalMart and these are great backups for a Blazer. I own 2 Blazers and they are still my favorite, but these Jetlites at just under $4 each are really good. I had to go to the counter where they sold the cigarettes at to find them.

I am a big fan of the Blazers as well, have had one that lasted more than 3 years as an every day lighter. The Ronsons are good for what they are, but I find the flame a little small for lighting cigars properly. I keep a couple Ronsons around for inexpensive back-ups, but my Blazer is my go-to.

I must have got a bad one... or a BS one... or something. The fact that the little copper piece for the spark fell out in only a few weeks of use is total crap. I'm pretty pissed. Going to try and contact the manufacturer.

If he takes it to a retailer, they will send it in to Blazer and have it fixed regardless of age or proof of purchase.
