DEWEL Vintage Copper Windproof Kerosene Lighter Portable Gift (Copper)

Good product and amazing. Delivered in time, I am fully satisfied of this product.

Love the WWI trench lighter look with the easy one hand operation. The movable windscreen works great and it lights more consistently than my name brand lighterZ. It holds up to use and abuse. It's easy to replace components. Mine came with extra flint, wick and a striker wheel. My FAVORITE part is... IT DOES NOT LEAK like others are notorious for. Unless I overfill it and some spills out when replacing the cap. No more embarrassing and uncomfortable rectangular chemical burns where my fifth pocket lives. No more herky jerky starts and stops and it's less than 49.95! Shipping and handling may vary.

I was apprehensive about buying this lighter at 1st because of some of the negative reviews stating that the spring on the closure prematurely breaks. That’s why I gave it only 3 stars for durability, for now, will upgrade if product maintains it’s quality. As a collector of these types of lighters I thought at the very least, I’ll have spare parts. The lighter came with the spare parts and necessary tools to make the repair if the spring does break, all packaged nicely in a little wooden box. Previous comments have stated that you had to get a hold of the company to get the necessary replacement parts. BONUS! I work construction, it goes where I go. I have abused this lighter more than necessary to try and get the closure spring to break as described. Happy to report the lighter is still functioning as described. Fill lasts apprx a week with continuous use. Will update if and when the spring ever breaks. So far so good. I’m pleasantly surprised with this purchase, and firmly believe the manufacturer has taken the negative feed back and made the appropriate changes. We can’t expect a quality product every time we spend our money, but we can expect the company to provide the quality product you paid for, or at least try and make it right. Judging from the previous comments and the product I received, I would say this company is trying to make it right. That’s a rarity, give them a shot. At the very least you get a very cool lighter that makes quite a conversation piece. I pulled it out at a hockey game, outside while lighting a smoke. Before I knew it, I had a crowd asking me where I got it. It certainly helped that there was an older gentlemen there that said he hasn’t seen one of those since he was a kid. Again, very cool lighter at the least.

Most important .if you keep it lit for long time because of its small size you may burn your finger tip, if you have big hands nah its not for you ,

I have a pretty extensive lighter collection (Zippos, IMCO, Corona Old Boy, etc.) and this little lighter has a nice solid weight, and like the IMCO fills easily, and has a good wick cap that reduces fuel evaporation. What makes this lighter stand out is the well machined flint/lock striker mechanism. If you look carefully at the side of the flint wheel you will see that notched set up on one side with a thin metal cam. This stepped locking along with the weighted thumb depression on the striker makes for a very smooth and consistant flint ignition with a great positive feel. The only thing you miss, compared to a IMCO, is the ability to light and pull out the ignited fuel camber as a stand alone candle or stand off igniter for camp fire tinder. But I feel the design aesthetic, and wonderful flint igniter build, make up for those minor shortcomings. Overall easily one of the top 5 trench lighters. Other folks have thought the extra little metal part supplied with the 2 extra O rings was a wick or flint wheel cleaner, it is actually a extra metal cam that meshes with the notched flint wheel. ?maybe this part this wears out? One final note, some reviewers have complained of fuel leakage, in my hands this has happened when I over saturated the cotton with lighter fluid, then when the unit heats up with initial use the heat and fuel expansion caused leaking even with the fuel chamber screw turned down very hard against the O ring. This resolves nicely after a few uses, and is not an issue if you are careful not to overfill the fuel tank.
