new lighter?
I am in the market for a new lighter... Gifted my XiKar Element to a friend, so now I just have the Lotus L48 Apollo.
Looking for something dual torch, black, stainless or brushed finish, with a very modern look, under $100.
Any suggestions?

Looked that site David, the only one I like is the Lotus 52 Orion, and I kinda wanted something different.

Try buylighters.com, that is our all lighter site. We only have 1/4 of our lighters listed on cheaphumidors. Dual Flame or Double Flame? The Vector Armor is one of our top selling dual flames, not too expensive

My follow up question would be: could those lighters hold isobutane at sea level without the potential of rupture due to their better interior construction?
It's not a real hobby unless it interferes with your work.

Yes to the first question and I have no clue to the second question. I can ask one of my lighter reps on Monday

I appreciate it. Also, if one uses an adapter to introduce an isobutane/propane mix, what's the greatest percentage of propane that could be in the mix to avoid explosion if left in a hot car at moderate altitude, say 120 F at 875 mbar.

Sorry for the huge delay, but it took emails to 4 different reps to find an answer to this question. According to my rep at Colibri:
" Isobutane it is very unstable at any altitude and should never be used in a butane lighter"

Looking for something different... I personally have owned one of these (Black Label Presidente) for the last two years as my primary lighter. Lit well over 400 cigars with it with no issues. I love the flat flame. Benefits of a torch but gentle on the cigar like a soft flame.
