[img]http://www.viewpoints.com/images/review/2008/21/23/1200979762-96565_full.jpg[/img] I have a few cans of the above butane refill so I'm fine on butane as long as it fits the above standard butane refill canister (USA). Could anyone recommend a decent butane torch lighter under $50 (preferably around $20-30)? In terms of size, I'm not looking for big handheld torches or miniscule things that burn your hand - I'm just looking for something that would pass as a lighter but still have a decent sized butane tank and be reasonably comfortable to handle. What does facepunch recommend?

if you know about DX why arnt you getting them from there? This one is a little big but can still fit in some large pockets. [url]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3425[/url] or this one: [url]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1454[/url] Ive had that one for quite a while with almost daily ignition, and it works great. sometimes have to light it twice to get it to work. (but that take like an extra 1/8 of a second to do)
A lot of the reviews on DealXtreme state that the above things have poor build quality and break easily [editline]02:27AM[/editline] Besides, the shipping is horrendous
I've had [url]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3425[/url] for a year now, perfect quality and no issues whatsoever. And it took like a week and a few days to deliver.
Bah, I guess it couldn't hurt to try. Thanks, guys!
