Lighters - Xikar Pipe Lighter - Pipeline Black Plated
Absolute Junk & Money Pit!
These are supposed to be quality, made in the USA lighters with a lifetime warranty. For $60 bucks, they should be. I've had flea market, mass produced in China lighters that are better made and more reliable! The first one I received had a broken flint post right out of the box. It was loose and practically falling out from the top of the lighter. I navigated their pain in the ass online portal return process, of which you have to pay to ship it to them, waited weeks, and finally got my replacement. Within the week, the flint wheel is seizing up (including while empty and without flint!!), the fuel gauge is unreliable, (with the same setting, you may have a baby flame you can barely keep lit, or torch your eyebrows off), the casing feels like it's loose, as if the insides are moving around, and it's impossible to tell the fuel level either in use or while filling. I have followed all the instructions. I purge between refills after closing the fuel gauge. I use quality flints and butane (both Zippo), all to no avail. Sure, it's a lifetime warranty, but I have a feeling that eventually, I would have to pay to send this P.O.S. lighter back so many times that it would cost more than the price of the lighter. Avoid!
