Wind/waterproof lighters raising interest for a group buy

[w00dsmoke]

Ok as previously stated, I'm in negotiations with a US supplier for wind and waterpoof lighters for a little over cost price that look very similar to Helios lighters for a group buy.

I've asked for two samples to try them out and have recieved them, as far as I know the group buy ones are exactly the same or very similar, I'm waiting confirmation on this and the supplier will not be back to the office for 2 weeks. I've costed this to £10 per lighter give or take postage. I need names of interested parties before I go ahead with this, as usual I'll post up the details BEFORE I ask for committment so folk know what they are getting. So if folk are interested please put your names below and we'll see if it's worthwhile going ahead. I need to order at least 24 as they come in boxes of 24, so it's either a 24 or 48 group buy!

Fuel? How windproof are they? Will they reliably ignite at -20C? Will they stay ignited at winds of 50mph? 100mph?

I might be up for one, let me know how you get on.

:AR15firin there's got to be one aint there? without access to a windtunnel and freezer I can't answer that! Doh!

Like I said details to be forthcoming...

You could leave one in a deep freeze, and see if it works ? Maybe a desk fan for the wind test

If they're much the same as the Helios, put me down for 2, they look pretty much the same.

I would be interested in 2, I would prefer the yellow, if thats possible, better chance of finding the damn thing after I've absently put it down somewhere , dont know if you can mix and match or you have to go with one colour, <shrug> I'll go with the majority in that case.
Two questions
Is that a safety clip on the opposite side to the hinge I see ?
Is there anywhere to attach a lanyard ?

They come in mixed colours, so it's a case of whatever is available, however I've got this one you could get once I get the rest in if we are going ahead with it.

There is a built in hole for want of a better term inbuilt into the side of the lighter for attahcing a lanyard and yes it is a safety wire catch that keeps the lid on tight. You flip the wire back, press a button on the side of the case and the lid flips open. The silver disc unscrews on the base to allow access to fill up with butane gas. And for those nuggest out there who I know will ask, it is a turbo jet flame!

Remember I am awaiting confirmation if this is the same lighter, so please folks lets keep this simple, I'm only looking for interested parties, once the details arrive to me, I'll post everything up, photo's so YOU KNOW EXACTLY what we will be getting.

I may be interested if getting it to the US isn't a huge PITA.
