Any Big, Angled Lighters Out There?

[InWithBothFeet]

I bought a zippo, but it's too small and fiddly in my hands. Got an inexpensive butane with tools on amazon but it's got a tiny reservoir and it just quits with no warning. Are there any hand torch size lighters out there with a big reservoir but a soft flame?

 

[AcesAndEights]

I’m only kinda joking. I keep my nice lighters in the garage, where I smoke 90% of the time. If I’m out back grilling, I reach for one of these to light up. They work pretty well, actually

If those were right angle tips and it was just the handle without the 6" wand, I'd be trying it. Hehe.

The benefit of smoking meers, as long as you turn the flame down so it's not full on torch and are careful with the flame and don’t just cook the tobacco or try to super heat the bowl*

This little Visol has been a workhorse. I’m not careful with it AT ALL, and three years in hasn’t failed me. The side wheel makes it super easy to strike. Paid $50 for it.

A little hard to keep adjusted right but this works for me.

For use with churchwardens only if you value your eye brows.

I have an idea to alter my Zippo to make it longer... story at 11.

Some people here have the Dissim lighter. There’s a thread on it somewhere from a year or two ago.

The Dissim Hammer. I like it, but at $75 I dunno. Their cheapest "sport" lighter is $45ish but has that fancy hole in the grip that reduces butane capacity by I'm guessing half. It does look ergonomic though. I'll keep looking.

Where did you get this one?

The Dupont rip-off lighters, made in China- I have four all absolutely well made. Don't use them much as they are heavier than I like, but may fit you well. Originally priced at $20, no idea the price now, but N of $30 I should think.

I think the boys have you covered.

If you don't care much about scorching rims, that's the bees' knees!
Does it cut steel?

I just started refilling my amazon special every evening after my 43.773 average relights.

Sorry for the slight thread highjack but I recently bought one of these myself and I love it, but could you enlighten me as to how you change the flint?

Mine has a small sliding piece on top. Pulling it back reveals a small slot into which you can drop a new flint. Push the release tab and the sliding door snaps back into place.
