I bought this directly from Exotac with a 20% off the $50 website price using a Veteran’s day coupon code, so I paid about $40, which is roughly the same cost here with shipping added. It’s very well-made, as are all of their products (I own several of their various fire striker rods/NanoStriker & XL sized rods).
I believe I was a little too generous with the initial fueling of this lighter (using Zippo lighter fluid) and as a result, the flame unexpectedly spread to the outer handle portion of the lighter as I held it, causing me to throw it down in a panic lol. Be careful!
Thankfully, neither the lighter nor myself were harmed from this fiasco and afterwards, I took measures to reduce the fuel in the canister by removing the 5 saturated cotton balls within it and pressing them into a paper towel to absorb away some of the excess fuel and then reinserting them into the lighter (but now with less fuel) - as well as leaving the cap off the lighter and allowing it to “air out” as doing so enables the excess fuel to evaporate.
Now, the lighter works flawlessly and I learned a valueable, albeit embarrassing, lesson haha 😇

The black & orange zipper pull I added to the loop on the lighter’s cap, to serve as a quick-pull lanyard, from a pocket, came from CountyComm. 👍🏼

allemanderI also participated in this sale, and also may or may not have over-filled the lighter. This may or may not have resulted in knuckles-en-flambe, which may have resulted in a lighter being dropped onto the floor mat of a vehicle, which may or may not have resulted in a floormat-en-flambe.
NOTE: Whether the statement should include the "may" or "may not" depends on the amount of judging received during the telling. Previous experiences in telling the story have resulted in receiving the types of looks usually reserved for people with art majors (unless, of course, you are a person with an art major, in which case, congratulations on all your years of hard work).
