16 Best Type Of Lightwr Or Torch And Case (2023 Updated)

This isn’t just a lighter, it’s a mini torch. When stuck out in in below zero temps (used down to -20F) and after getting dunked in a river in the Arctic, this is the only lighter that would work EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Admittedly it had to be kept in an inside pocket but it was the only one that worked. This thing is a life saver. Since it’s also a torch, it was also effective at melting ice off of snow machine hitches.

I bought this to give as gifts for the survival kit for five of my closest friends after experiencing its reliability and usefulness.

A couple years ago, I bought a Soto XT Torch from REI. I used it a couple of times, and it worked well. Recently, when I went to use it, it didn’t work — no gas flow, no light. (I’m near sea level, so it is not an altitude issue.

) I contacted Soto Customer Service, and they promptly shipped me a new one. Wow, what great customer service. As to the reviews here that complain these torches don’t work at high altitude (above 5,000′), in all fairness, the Soto packaging makes that very clear.

Really with out a doubt the best bug out everywhere all purpose lighter I’ve ever found. Over the years I’ve had many lighters and just realize how much waste over time there has been. Now I’ve found I feel one of the best Refillable lighters on the planet, because it just plain works.

My wife has used five lighters to my refillable which is still half after lighting up my life with BBQ and much much more. I like it and feel since it is refillable it is very more environment friendly than all those thousands that get tossed every day.

I had one of these years ago but the ignition finally failed. I couldnt find this style again at the time, so I was pleasantly surprised to find them available. Im guessing they were off the market for a bit because the old style did not have a child safety switch.

The new one does, but as with most child proofing, I wish it didnt. It probably took me longer to figure out than it would have taken my 6 year old! Overall, it is well made, compact, and I love that it extends for lighting grills, campfires and camp stoves.

The flame is powerful and wind proof. So far the ignition seems to be pretty dependable. Being refillable is a nice feature above the cheap ones that you can get at the hardware store.

I bought this to take to a bachelor party. Since airlines won’t let me fly with my cigar lighters, this was a nice solution to have a decent quality torch without having to mess with the TSA guidelines.

The included lighter is refillable, or you can do what I did, which is buy a cheapo lighter from the gas station when you get where you’re going, and use that. As a side note, this has become my wife’s favorite lighter for lighting candles, which is a bonus for me, because she leaves my more expensive lighters where they belong, by the humidor.

Lightest chair on the market! Comfort! Nice color! Great buy! Fast service! Pack weight decreased by a whole pound. I have a spinal fusion. I can’t just sit on a seat Matt. This chair allows me to be ultralight and allows for comfort and recovery after a long day of hiking.

The Tough Tesla Lighter 2. 0 – Outdoor Waterproof Dual Arc Plasma Lighter initial charge was fairly fast and each time I use the lighter, I get a light the first time. The case is easy to open/close and the lanyard is a nice touch with the built in whistle for an around the neck carry.

Can be easily stowed in a pack somewhere but make sure you secure it so your friends don’t walk off with it. Because of the arc technology, this lights quickly so be prepared around easily lighted tinders.

When lighting go at the power button from the side of the lighter (like traditional lighters). REASON: the button to start the lighter is located just over the push release button for the cover. I found a few times that I was not paying attention and put a bit more of my finger on the button than anticipated and the tip of my finger was scarily close to the arc.

If I had winter gloves on while doing this, that might be an issue. Tight space lighting is an issue due to the cover so take that into consideration when using, but it lights a LOT faster than a normal flame.

Over all, this is gonna be my go to lighter and part of my bugout bags.

So, the lighter arrived the day after I left for vacation so it was sitting around for a while. Opened it up, checked it out and accidentally left it outside. Was sitting inside doing stuff and a HUGE thunderstorm started: wind, driving rain and occasionally, it looked like midday outside because of the lightning, Eventually, the power went out: it’s ~23.

00, no lights, no nothing. Then, I remembered the lighter. Reached outside, grabbed it and clicked the button for the light: lit up my entire deck. I was impressed. Then I figured: this thing’s on its original charge – who knows how long it’s going to last? Found a candle, popped the lid and pressed the button – the little arcs lit the candle almost immediately.

This is after it had been rained on for a long time and sitting in a puddle for part of that. I have other similar light/lighter combination tools, but the ergonomics on this one are, to me, way better.

The lighter works reasonably well. The little light is a nice feature. It isn’t great but it’s definitely useful when you don’t need a very bright light. My issues with the lighter are, I’m having to charge it every day and a half and I’m getting approximately 50 lights per charge.

The claims of 300 lights per charge are totally contrary to my experience. You might be able to get 300 if you are pressing the button for a hot second but I purchased it to actually light things so that is a disappointment.

That is my main point of dissatisfaction and how often I’m having to charge it. I’m going to click “yes” for would I recommend the product because yes or no are the only options, but that’s not entirely true.

I would only recommend it to someone who has other backup lighter options.

I needed to replace my extra long lighter to reach inside my gas grill, The wording is miss leading here because from the trigger to the tip of the lighter on the ones i use in the past is over 10+ inches.

This should not be advertised to make you think you are getting the long one ! These wont reach. although they work and were new , if you want the long reach one dont get these.

First, this 5 star review is strictly for lighter USA company. I would give them 10 stars if I could. It’s NOT for the lighters shown in this review. These Colibri lighters are junk! I have had 5 of them in my hands so far and only one of them did not have to be returned.

And this lighter broke off the tamper inside the case on the first try to use it. However, it actually works well as a lighter. Throughout this exasperating experience, Lighter USA was right there for me.

They not only ship orders incredibly fast but they replaced these lighters quickly and hassle free. If you want to buy a lighter, buy it from them and DO NOT consider a Colibri.

The torch lighters are excellent when you are outdoors and its windy. But I dont like the way they burn my cigars. Most of the time, Im lighting up in a quiet room with a glass of whiskey with some jazz or rock on the stereo.

The soft flame of the old fashion lighters light my cigars evenly the way its supposed to be. For that this Colibr lighter is the best.

I have only one little issue and that is it requires several strikes for it to light. I am using Zippo butane and will try Colibri brand butane shortly and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise the lighter works fine for my needs.

The Lighter… where do I start? I have been using lighters for 25+ yrs and I ONLY buy BIC. I always remove the child protection so it makes using much easier. I use my lighters for so much- lighting bbq, candles which I use daily, Im a smoker so I light my cigarette, my hubby lights cigars, we use it to smoke our 420 pipe, and to light paper to start burning our trash and so much more.

There a few things I would say I ALWAYS have with me/on me at all times, my phone, a BIC, and lip balm. I use up a lighter about every 7-10 days depending on what Im doing. They fit comfortably in my hand.

They are the ONLY lighter that fits into my Lighter Bro/Lighter Buddy case. It has a screwdriver, a knife and scissors on it. It doesn’t weigh my pocket down like a zippo lighter would. I also use BICs other type of lighters like their candle lighter, they have mini sized lighters, my favorite is their wrapped lighters that have pretty pictures on them or a relatable quote.

Oh and we don’t like the electric ones they make. The button isn’t comfortable to use once than once or twice, I like the flick of the Bic. In the picture of all the lighters- what I did was I asked everyone in the room to pull out their lighters and every single one was a Bic of some kind.

I am a candle -aholic and I have used many of these long lighter. The big flex lighter is by far my favorite. I hate it when I go to light a candle and the flame comes back up to burn my fingers,. Or when the button / leather you have to hold to keep the flame ignited is too difficult and I’m unable to hold it down, mostly because of my arthritis, but this particular long Bic lighter is the best of both worlds.

The flexi it’s hard sergeant makes it so that I’m able to get a more precise no matter the angle. The flame does not come back to bite me and the lever is perfect for even arthritic hands.

I love the easy grip handle and the one click release to ignite the flame. It’s super easy to use. I recently picked up these multiple color Bic lighters to use for the grill and fireworks 💥. They’re perfect for igniting a flame without being too close; especially to firework fuse! Highly recommended!! #weekendnightmeal #healthyeats #myfavoritefood #comfortfood #picnic.

I have 4 different models of single torch lighters from Xikar. The Tactical, the stratosphere II, the Flash and this tech single. The Tactical is excellent. The other three leave much to be desired. The Tech is the best of the other 3.

The biggest issue is that the adjustment valve even on low throws a huge amount of fire. It could be that it is not broken in yet. It is a reliable tool though, works every time and has a large clear tank so you can view how much fuel is left.

Can’t go wrong for the money. Xikar will fix or replace it forever. Had mine 2 years and had to send it in once. The second time it gave me problems, Xikar sent me an email explaining how to easily fix it my self.

(or send it in) Many problems are ashes and debris falling into the flame chamber. Get yourself a can of compressed air and blow it out occasionally. Adjust min-max flame heigth by removing tiny screw on side of bottom plate to access the adjustment screw.

Be careful, a little goes a long way. Make sure pin aligns with notches when replacing bottom plate. My cap spring broke recently (after a few thousand open/close cycles) and it’s time to send mine in for a repair, but it’s sentimental.

Huge fuel capacity that you can see the fill level. Strong double flame. A real “go-to” cigar lighter that is affordable considering the Xikar warranty that is one of the best in the business!

Love the design & quality BUT. It has a Design Flaw. Top Part Over Flame doesn’t stay away from the flame enough to not get HOT and Burn you when closed and in your hand. Should have a MINIMUM of almost 1/4 inch back from flames when lighter lit instead of about 1/16th inch and slightly in flame if heavy pressure is not put on button.

BIG BURN DANGER!!! Nice design and well made But. this FLAW Makes me Never to buy again. Have to be TOO CAREFUL NOT TO GET BURNED WHEN USING IT. Sorry guys. REALLY LIKE IT OTHERWISE.

This is my new favorite lighter. Most torches are pretty bulky to put in a pocket and don’t fit well in my travel case, this one is the perfect size. I’ll say though that it was a pain to fill. I guess I was aware that sometimes you need special tips, but I had never needed them in the past.

Most butane cans come with the tips. You need the second smallest one to fill this lighter, otherwise the butane goes everywhere except in the lighter. Ha.

Wonderful! The size is perfect and it’s very attractive. Also very dependable. It lights first time, every time. Good job!

These lighters are fantastic for all kinds of uses. It has a super flame that throws an abundance of heat, making it easy to ignite things in the strongest of winds. Great for many uses, from lighting cigars to candles on a cake.

I like the clear plastic fluid container. You always know how much fluid you have remaining.

For what you pay for this lighter it is about as good as any I have found in a Chinese manufactured lighter. The ones I have purchased over a year ago still function without any problems. The one thing that I have found to enable continuing functionality is to bleed off all the gas pressure left in the lighters tank before refilling to avoid any air lock.

Just press down the refill tube to release it and then commence filling. This is a little secret I learned a long time ago for any butane lighter.

The Vertigo lighter is just fine except for one issue: the cap doesn’t flip up automatically when you push down on the trigger. You have to flip it up with your thumb Zippo style. I’ve bought cheap torch lighters with an automatic flip so I know it can be done quite easily.

Seems to me Vertigo cut corners to make a few more pennies.

Nice personalised item, with an elegant finish to it. Great present!

Very nice refillable lighters. Good length enables you to light gas burners safely. Works upside down right side up etc. Have not had to refill yet, but the refill port is standard. The lighter has an on/off switch and a safety button.

The safety button must be depressed for the lighter to work, so this lighter takes a little more effort than most similar lighter’s I’ve used, but I think it is a nice feature.

These Refillable Butane Lighters are amazing! I was a honestly a tad worried when I saw that they are priced much better than walmart. To my surprise, they are everything you need in a lighter. I live that I can put them in my kitchen and bathroom drawer with no worries.

It has a convenient on/off switch which childproofs it. I use it to light the grill, candles, even to clean jewelry. Great purchase!.

These lighters are very spendable and help the servers set the mood in the dining room every night at 7:00 at La Jolla Groves. Th kitchen staff also uses these lighters to ignite their gas stoves. A really great product! The button is not too stiff either so you can click it multiple ones without your hand getting sore.

Xicar lighters are awesome, and the Trezo is a great addition to the other Zicars I own. They are excellent for lighting cigars and work flawlessly. LighterUSA shipped my lighter quickly and for a great price.

I buy all my lighters from them.

I’m a big Xikar supporter. Not only do they make great stuff, but they include a lifetime guarantee with every product. HUGE bonus. The Trezo is my 4th Xikar lighter and it’s definitely my favorite. The tilted jets are a genius design.

There are only a few cons with this lighter. you have to manually flip the lid open, the tank is a bit small, and (maybe this is unique to mine and I got a dude) the finish kind of flaked off and peeled away.

None of these would prevent me from recommending the Trezo 100%.

This is my 2nd Xitar lighter. I had some technical trouble with it and almost sent back. I went to a local tinderbox retailer for Xitar and they fixed it and got me on my way. Very good service from y’all and all those Xitar dealers out there.

I previously had purchased Scorch triple torch lighters but they did not hold up. I smoke 1 cigar a day and with the last Scorch (purchased 2 in a little over 2 years) about 30 days past the warranty (problem started while warranty was enforce) it would not light (ignite), I contacted the authorized retailer on Amazon as well as the manufacturer with no response from either.

I did a Google search and this lighter showed up as a “best value” and a good product. I received it in a timely fashion, tried it last night and it’s great so far. It does have a manual open lid (Scorch was automatic) but that’s no problem for me.

I would recommend this lighter. UPDATE 03/27/20 I have been using this lighter daily since 03/17 and it’s a great lighter. Besides value I believe the quality is there as well.

This is the best no-nonsense cigar and pipe lighter for daily use I have ever owned. I have purchased several spares of the same, thinking I would need them based on experience with other brands, but no — still using the original that I got almost two years ago.

Unlike more expensive lighters, the large transparent tank allows you to see instantly when it needs a refill (and to confirm that it is actually filling up). What’s more, I never need to make any adjustments to the aperture settings, even when filling it.

Best of all? The price cannot be beaten!.

This lighter is very inexpensive and works flawlessly. It’s a highly rated lighter in the cigar community. It fits 3 major categories when selecting a cigar lighter: function, price and reliability. I would definitely recommend purchasing this item.

This lighter is really convenient for lighting candles. They can reach down to a candle wick that is almost gone with no worries of burning yourself. It lasts me for months too and I use it pretty frequently for my candles.

It is easy to use, yet there is still a safety lock on it so small children would have trouble starting it. The price is nice as well. $3 at the dollar general.

These are extremely helpful to have around the house for the harder to reach candles or whatever else you’re looking to light. I’ve owned several of them and never had any issues. Would be cool or nice if they were refillable but I don’t think bic does refillable anything.

Not that I know of anyways. 5 stars from this customer.

This lighter was so easy to use! Although I’d never heard of this multi use lighter before I was excited to test it for free in exchange for opinion. My husband used it first to light the grill and was beyond excited.

It’s so hard to light the charcoal with either a regular lighter or paper. I found the perfect use however in my opinion. I have many tea light candle display wall hangings. What a pain it’s always been to take candle out, light it, and then try to get back in the glass container without either burning myself or putting the candle out.

Now I simply hook the bendable end of the lighter to go right in the canister! It’s so easy to use, I can even use my non dominant hand. I highly recommend this multi use lighter to anybody that needs a multi use lighter!.
