Hi all,
I always used - besides Fire-steel - a normal Bic lighter...I'm happy with, but now I would like to try any piezoelectric lighter.
Skills could be:
- maximum duration as possible without need to refilling it with butane
- reliability all wheater conditions
- cost until 25 euro max

do you have any suggestions? I really appreciate. Thanks, Alfredo
 
Alfredo,

You're better off sticking with the firesteel and Bic lighter.

Having tried a few of the piezo lighters, they really are 'hit and miss'. You can buy two of the same type of lighter and one will work and the other will not. You can buy a cheap one which works for years and an expensive one which works for a few days.

If you want to try them out, just buy a few of the cheapest ones you can find and stick with the one (and there will only be one) that works!!!

Ciao!

Thanks a lot Mikey. In fact, I was a bit unconfident about these stuff, now I have the confirmation I need :) Alfredo
