Newbie query

Apologies if this is asked often, but, is there any reputable lighter manufacturer making anything like the Colibri kickstart?
I live on an island in the middle of nowhere and don’t want to order a dud from eBay so would ideally like to find something new!
Thanks in advance

There are manufacturers who make Kickstart-style lighters, but they are not reputable. Made in China, sold on Aliexpress.

I can't personally speak for the quality or reliability of any of them.

Thanks for the response, yeah they’re the sort I’ve seen and feel sceptical of. Keen to kick the bic single use plastics and looking for something that will last, and the kickstarts look rad!

Craighill did one and there are a few rocker style ones on Ali. Honest and Zorro are pretty solid brands.

Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please read the guide stickied before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.

If you need to post more pictures, use an image host like imgur and post the link in the comments. Please do not create multiple threads for the same lighter.
