ZENGA Rubber Maxi Jet Lighter, Windproof, Electronic, Refillable, Jet, Gas, Turbo, Blowtorch, Transparent, See Through, Clear Lighter

My trusty lighter of around 5 years had finally started showing it's age. First it wouldn't light on first press, then it got to the point that it would take about 30 presses to strike once! I knew it was time for a new lighter! I ordered this as it was cheap and had a jet flame! I didn't think it would be very good but it would last until I bought a nicer, more long-term one. It arrived and I was pleasantly surprised (and if you read my reviews often you'd find that I'm surprised quite a lot!). It is a matte black and has of a slight rubberized coated feel to the whole exterior, bar the bottom. This reminds me of what computer mouse manufacturers often use on the top of most mice these days. It's nice. The outer casing of the lighter is made of a slightly flexible plastic which is quite strong. This means that the lighter is kept very light indeed. It is hardly noticed when inside your pocket even though it is quite large in size. The whole underside of the unit is a clear plastic. This gives you a nice view of the fluid levels and this is when you really notice how big this lighters tank is. When it arrived it was pre-filled with fluid and ready to go. I would say it was around three quarters full then and a month later it finally ran out (and I smoke quite a lot). So this really does pack a lot fuel and due to the (very) clear tank view at the bottom it is easy to see when your likely to run low and so you can always make sure your full and loaded. The flame itself is blue with a hint of green if held long enough. It seems to hold up against the wind very well. At least it survived the 'blow test' anyway! This 'part time' lighter has now earned a place in my work bag for when I'm out side and need a strong wind proof light! Watch HD Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJRvkseZ6ZE

I bought this windproof lighter on a bit of a whim (I'm always on the lookout for decent cheap lighters). And it's a nice wee lighter that works perfectly well (though I see from other reviews that others have had issues). However, for £4 my expectations were not set too high; for as my auld Mum used to always say - you get what you pay for son. And for £4 this is a very respectable windproof gas lighter I must say. So far mine is working fine and from that perspective it's very hard to fault. Holds a decent amount of gas (came full) and I do like the feel of the lighter; it's got a 'rubbery' texture, soft and nice (hard to tell from the pictures). The switch works well and it's easy to adjust the flame using a little red lever on the back side of the lighter. Powerful flame btw; watch you don't burn yer thumb when you light it. Yeah, this lighter is pretty good and I would have high expectations for it. On that basis I am happy to recommend this product as it is a really nice storm lighter in my opinion. And it's only £4. Great lighter, really. If you found this review helpful then please take a moment to tick the YES box below. Thanks. UPDATE APRIL 2017: still going strong and I now like this lighter so much I have just ordered another two. Great value for £4 - less than the price of ten cigarettes.

I was advised that tha package had arrived yet I didn’t have it. The seller was not very helpful and just wanted to shut me down and in the end, it had been put through my neighbours letterbox! However, they seem like great lighters. They light first time, every time!

This is the best lighter I've ever had. Disposables run out, or break too quickly. I've got a Zippo, which is great, but in the wind it almost burns your nose off if you're not careful. This is the perfect medium. Will not break down after a few days and will not burn you. I've bought a spare for work, just in case I leave it at home.

Upon taking it out of the packet - I honestly thought; "Oh my! - I've bought a right cheap tack piece of garbage here!" - There's no denying it feels plasticcy, unnasuringly light - BUT - Without doubt this is one of the best reliable efficiant lighters ever !!! It just does what you need it to do! The flame is the perfect size - unlike some much more expensive 'Blow Torch' lighters I've has - It's nice and light weight in your pocket - it's nowhere near as flimsy as it first appears AND The gas just lasts forever - AND it's cheap as chips - AND the gas lasts forever - AND the gas lasts foreve - Oh and did I mention - THE GAS LASTS FOREVER!!! - LOVE THIS LITTLE PLASTICCY WORK HORSE TO BITS!

Bought in December really good lighter until today when I flipped the lid and it broke at the hinge

I'm changing from 5 star to 2 star now ,reason being that 2 years later I bought another one of these and for some reason it doesn't light up sometimes I'm not sure what went wrong because I remember it use to light every time and it's like 80p more expensive ,very disappointed Edit =However they gave me replacement for it and it works just fine now

Item delivered no instructions and in jiffy bag. Has hairline crack somewhere as leaked fuel and whole lighter caught alight. Contacted seller and wanted photos which would not show anything. Then wants returned to replace at my cost. Poor product.
