I got one at Wal-Mart in TN about a week ago. I really like it too. I use it like crazy. The only thing is that it sometimes won’t light if the tab on the bottom (where you refill) is off just a little bit and it moves (just a little bit) very easily.

I was tired of getting a sore thumb from the wheel on the standard butane disposable lighters– then I found this lighter, and fell in love– I went out and bought five more of them, as my friends all wanted one. I found most refuelable disposables could be re-charged once or twice, but then the valve would fail. I have re-charged slide lighter six times so far, and it still works great. Went to buy some more of them, but could not find more.

Michael T.: I’ve had one of mine freeze up exactly like you said when I kept it in a damp humid environment. I thought it was a fluke, but you may be on to something. All the rest of mine are OK, although my pattern of use is sporadic and non-smoker-ish

I’ve purchased two of these lighters, both of them brand new, and both of them kept prefectly clean (no dirt as suggested in the previous post).

Both of them have jammed up within a matter of a day or two of first using them. Both have (as mentioned by a previous poster) so much resistance that they require more strength to trigger than csn be provided by one hand alone. In both cases, playing around for a while by adjusting the adjustment lever up and down will *eventually* let you get a couple of lights out of the thing before it jams again.

There is a fundamental flaw in the design, I just don’t know what it is. I know I wouldn’t waste my money on another one though.

My slide lighter worked fine when I got it, but over a few days time it became harder and harder to pull the slide with my thumb. After a week it became a two handed ordeal because of the strength required.
I just figured it out. I soaked the lighter in water with a little dish detergent. Apparently dirt and oils accumilate under the slide and make it sticky. I do a lot of work in my shop and smoke with dirty hands.
Now I know how to fix that problem and so do you!
