Someone in China heard my wish to make an inexpensive torch lighter with a large reservoir.
When I'm at a convenient store, I will grab a low budget torch like this:
Who hasn't picked up a lighter during checkout, flicked it a few times, said cool, and picked one up? The problem with this unit, and others like it, is that they run out of fuel so fast. It's to the point that I have given up on them.
Then, imagine having a triple burner like this:
I am lucky to get a half a dozen lights out of it. This guy even has a bottle opener and a mini LED flashlight built into the end of it. Just another example of a multifunction tool that doesn't do anything well. I have figured out that you can use the bottom of a Bic to open a bottle quite efficiently, and the phone has a light so I'm good without this guy too.
We'll today I found the answer to my wish. The low budget jumbo torch:
He stands head and shoulders above all the little toy lighters that I have in my humi-drawer. And, it only cost $4.99 at the local emporium. I could have a four burner Rocky Patel lighter, but then I would have to drop $80. Who knows, I may just do that some day, if ever I have the oportunity to invite one of the executive VP's over for dinner. But for now, I'll be using the jumbo.
