Ronson Jetlite Lighter

[JonM254]

I searched and found nothing on this subject. I recently bought a Ronson Jetlite Lighter from Wal-Mart because I've read that it's the best bang for the buck. But I was wondering if the Ronson butane is good to use, or should I empty the lighter of all butane and buy a butane that is distilled at least three times like I have read I should do on this forum? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would say just use it. You can use the triple filtered stuff when you need to refill.

I use the Ronson fuel in my JetLite and have never had any issues. I had my last JetLite for about a year before the spring in the lid broke and the lid was just floppy. So I bought a $3 replacement lighter and have the lidless one in my back-up cabinet.



Ronson JetLite FTW! :thumbs:


ETA:
Leave the triple filtered stuff to those finicky high dollar lighters that need it.

I love that lighter. Surfishin Dave gave me one a while back at Mike's Philly Herf. I get them on eBay by the dozen and give them away at herfs. PIF....

I do use the triple filtered stuff because after I started using it years ago, I've been problem free with every lighter I've owned. Why take a chance for a few bucks more...it's not like we go through 20 cans a year! :laugh:

Yes, spending 200 or 300 on a box of smokes,and then skimping a couple of dollars on good accessories seems counterproductive. I have a friend who has a walk-in with many thousands worth of cigars, and he won't break down and get a decent Digital Hygrometer to help protect his investment.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to go the route of replacing the butane.

I decided to grab a few of these today after my backup lighters decided to hang it up over the weekend. They have been spotty for the past few months, so I knew they were gona kick it soon. These look to fit the bill nicely for spares and as backups to my Blazer that is going strong.

The best two buck lighter out there IMHO. I keep several at work and in my car. If ya lose it oh well.
