So this was the first lighter I acquired after a bit of research during my first ever online cigar purchase. Lucky for me it was a great pickup and this lighter has served me well since January 2015.



The lighter is matte black with a large push button ignition which also flips open a cover protecting the triangular triple jet arrangement.


The ignition action is positive and it almost always lights on the first click. Typically if the lighter hasn't been used in a while it may take a press or three to get ignition. Honestly, ignition has been reliable enough that I've never payed attention to the misfires.



On the bottom there is a retractable punch along with the typical adjustment screw and fill port. The adjustment is easy enough to make with a fingernail, and the flame range is adequate for my needs.




As you can tell this lighter is showing some wear, but it keeps on ticking. As far as fuel use, I use it most often away from home so I tend to fill it up before leaving. Having said that, I've lit 4 cigars plus additional relights and random usage during a day without running out of fuel.

All in all, this is a great lighter for the price, if you are in the market for a multi flame lighter that is compact enough to carry in your pocket and includes a punch I would highly recommend the Vector Diablo.
