    I used to spend the bigger bucks on lighters but so many become duds for me. I will look into dupont though. I realize myself reaching for soft flames and cedar spills more and more these days.

    I have lost so many nice lighters, I decided that Bic will work just fine for me.

    all I can say is my dupont lights the first try and is well a very nice lighter! People can hate but it was a gift from my moms best friend so I can't say it's not worth it

    yea.. i actually lost a really nice torch lighter that i bought 4 years ago. some rocky patel one. i know i know "rock patel." I loved that thing. Looks like I should stop by Wal-Mart and see if there is a ronson type of soft flame

    There is a butane soft flame insert for zippo that works well. The Xikar EX soft flame is no longer listed on the Xikar website. The pipeline is the pipe lighter. Would love to get one. Heard many good things.

    Wait, there's different types of Xikar EX's??
    Now I'm confused.

    There is the Xikar Exodus soft flame that is "wind resistant"...not wind proof and I have this one...love it. Torches tend to be wind proof while soft flames aren't. Ronson has a soft flame called the "Comet" and I bought a dozen of them..$1 a piece at CVS. Call your stores in your area to see if they have them...some do some don't.

    The comet sounds like it will be my winner. I use my soft flames in non-windy areas. Time to call up CVS! Thanks Gary

    The comet is just as reliable as the Ronson torch just not as nice looking.

    I've got an Alec Bradley "The Burner" and after I get it lit, I turn it down low until it gives a soft flame. That's the only way I use it.

    I only use Clipper lighters. They run about $1 each, made in France. Refillable with butane, huge plus. Also flint is replaceable. Very tough, perfect flame. I bought a dozen off Amazon, have them all over the place now.

    I wish I knew about plasma lighters. Does anyone have a suggestion, preferably from a company that they own or work for?

    @ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.
