I have a brass tube about three inches long I use to pick up some fuel from the tank to prime the stove with, like a dropper but no need for the bulb on the end.

I've just ordered an IMCO, as I've heard that they're extremely good quality, even if they do leak. I'm not that bothered about them leaking and having to refill them as I use lighters so much that they dry out anyway. I use them for everything from soldering and heat-shrinking connections in the field, lighting fags, starting fires and everything else.
Has anybody got an IMCO and what's your opinion on them?

I had one and really liked it, but it dries up quick. I got given a peanut which lasts forever so I gave my Imco away.
This old 2009/2011 thread is interesting, http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46130.
For what it's worth, my old Tokai lighter is still going strong.
Happy trails...torc.

I got my Imco 6800 Streamline, in the end. I love it!
Great little lighter and well built too. Seams a lot better built than a Zippo and a fraction of the price.
I've ordered another one too.

As a right little stoner in my youth, I'm still fond of the ubiquitous Clipper. As Goatboy mentions, the flinty bit pops out and you can use it during the construction of whatever variant of the Camperwell Carrot you happen to be rolling.
These days, although I don't smoke any more, I still like to carry Clippers because you can bin the plastic bit when it runs out of gas and still have a perfectly useful little tinder-sparker which weighs next to nothing. I find that strangely reassuring...
