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?

I had one of these laying around.
Converts a regular lighter's flame into a little jet and it's small enough to fit in a pocket.

If you can get your hands on one of these, they're pretty cool. Cheap too.

The first one is nice but it uses disposable lighters (which I don't have on hand) which are either hard and time-consuming or not possible to refill using butane refill canisters
The second one - I read in reviews on DealXtreme that they were unreliable and tended to break a lot - and I want a reliable lighter even if I end up paying ten times as much as that
Sorry for nitpicking
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.

or this one:

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

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!
