Title: Hard to light, not a torch, overpriced
Product review: I looked to this lighter to replace the now discontinued Coleman lighter I used to carry. The Coleman was 1/3 the price and worked a lot better.I had no problems filling the lighter but did notice the plastics caps. I did assume that they were metal, as did others. You need to unscrew the cap to use the lighter, which could be problematic. Unfortunately, my first dozen attempts to get a flame failed. I had to turn down the fuel almost all the way down before it caught. Once it caught, I realized that it wasn't really a torch-like flame as was the Coleman. It's more of a Bic-like candle flame. That was really disappointing as I can use the Coleman almost like a pencil. A torch-like flame is also cooler to the hands because the flame is more directed and you can also use it upside-down or on its side. Not so with this Brunton.
