GStar® TorchZilla Series Windproof Jet Flames Butane Torch Lighter (Random Color)

I use this to singe paracord, for which it works wonderfully. The size fits nicely in my hand, with easy access for my thumb to depress the ignition button. The construction is pretty great, and doesn't seem cheap at all.The plastic is beefy, and doesn't skimp on the thickness of the reservoir walls, in and out. The top plastic molding is quite nice and finished too, with a switch that doesn't rattle, and a solid metal cuff encircling the flame spout. The operation has been really consistent for me, with the torch igniting almost always on the first click. I have the gas setting set to half way, which provides a strong flame to sear cords, without charring or melting the sheath too far below the cut, but also perfect for melting 11-strand 750 The torch's safety switch is perfect nice, which provides peace of mind when transporting with my other p-cord tools. Also, the safety switch isn't difficult to operate, as I have seen others that practically required the help of a screw driver, or opposite, where just simply turning the torch would engage/disengage the switch. This safety gently slides between the on/off positions, and stays put till intentionally changed. Finally, the torch is easy to fill with standard gas tubes picked up from the local convenient store. One fill seems to last an eternity (this seems to have the capacity of 3-4 regular lighters). I haven't noted any leaking while left alone for extended periods. The magneto igniter switch has held up great too, and the supporting spring is as bouncy as ever. Overall, I was looking for a non-$50 torch that still wasn't a piece of junk, and I think this torch fits the bill, and more. I think if anything were to give out, it would just be a consequence long term use and normal wear-and-tear. I think this lighter is way better than what either the price or the pictures indicate, and I wouldn't hesitate buying it again.

This is a fantastic torch lighter. I've been very pleased with this purchase. I use it primarily to light cigars and it does the trick. There is a flame adjustment on the lighter itself but I found that it doesn't really adjust the flame size that dramatically. This isn't an issue because the lowest flame setting does the job just fine. One of the biggest perks to this lighter was that it came full of butane. I've used it now 20-30 times and its still going strong. You can spend a lot of money on fancy butane lighters but this is a great torch for the price. 5 out of 5 would purchase again if I needed too.

It arrive quickly, and on time, it works - but the seal is not a tight fit and I can hear it leaking butane. I tested the product by filling it with butane; when mostly full, it leaked constantly. It had to settle for about half-full before the pressure lessened enough that the seal held and it stopped leaking. Pro: Cheap, functions. Design is good, if you don't get a crappy one like I did, it will work well for you. Con: Cheap manufacturing, products are obviously not tested with gas to ensure no leakage before being shipped.

Nice, solid feeling torch. I like the clear version for butane levels and filling. Easy fill. Used the Zippo 1.48 ounce and worked perfectly. Nice flame but not as large as some of the pictures. Controls all work great and flame adjustment works. UPDATE 07/31/2016 DO NOT BUY! Lighter was received and a charge of propane added. Lighter was placed on the shelf and really never used. Went to check on it and found all the butane had leaked out. Put another charge in and found the butane was quickly leaking from the filler port. This is BAD. Basically had a full charge of butane leak out into my house. These are nice feeling lighters but I would never buy these again. The fill valve appears to be a real weak point. Just for interest, I charged the lighter and watched the butane leak from the fill valve. Junk!! DO NOT BUY!

Came in black and handle was rubberized - cool! Turns on great, burbs great, super easy to operate Zander a reasonable difference in high and low settings. However, on high, the flame takes a long time to turn off once the button is let go of. Like up to 5+ seconds! I got one for my dad and liked it so much for the price, I got one. Looks and feels well built, is refillable, comes with lots of fuel, great instant torch. If you like fire at all, if you have a stove or fireplace outside, you should strongly consider this for your arsenal! It may end up as your go to - very grab-able, stands easily, one handed op. The only draw back is the 3 inch boss flame that decides when it's done; not you.

This single torch lighter works great and holds a lot of butane. It uses a piezo igniter/click-plunger that is similar to those piezo igniters you find in bbq's. Single torches waste very little butane than say a quad torch. Nothing lasts "forever". The price is right, so go for it.

Make that a 6th time as if Sept 23rd, 2016.......(reason I still purchase is solely a price one). I have purchased this product not one, not two, not three but four times in the past 3 months and every single time the product fails after about 2-3 weeks. Don't waste your time and move on to another product. Yes, the are on the cheap side but then again look what you get for that great price. Nada.... Nothing but a heap of metal to be recycled.

Bought these for our 4th of July party. The long "wand" style lighters don't last nearly enough. We went through several of those last year. This year, I bought these and handed one to each of my adult children. I had extra butane on hand, but didn't need it. These hold a lot of fluid and work well, even after repetitive use, and work in wind, too. Now, we keep one in the kitchen, garage, and camper. It really is better to buy a quality product, rather than spending money on junk.
