What's everyone's thoughts on the Visol KompaNo?

http://www.amazon.com/Visol-KompaNo-Chrome-Wind-Resistant-Lighter/dp/B008X8S9LI/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1405069211&sr=8-24&keywords=visol+lighter

It looks pretty interesting but the one star review makes hte lighter look suspicious. Then again I saw a video of it on elighters and it looks easy to refill.

Kreisler Colibri repair help, please!

Hey, everyone. I just bought this sexy vintage Kreisler Colibri lighter today and I'm struggling.

I first (embarrassingly) can't figure out what kind of butane tank (refill) I need to fill it. It's got this old fashioned, spring-loaded ball valve for filling. Any thoughts on where I can find one?

ALSO, I think the tip that squirts out butane might have gotten pinched. There is no hole in the end of it. I think it came from getting heated and smashed every time the lighter was ignited and the hammer fell. Do I need to cut off the very end of it? Try to open the hole a little bit with a needle? Let me know if you guys have any thoughts!

Thanks in advance guys!

Ronson Standard Replicas?

Does anyone know if there are copies of the old Ronson Standard on the market? If so, who makes them? Google hasn't turned up much. If such a thing existed, would I still be better of refurbishing a Ronson? Thanks.

Need help identifying lighter seen in "Atonement"

I saw this lighter in the movie Atonement, and would love to find out more about it or where I can find one like it. Of course, I have no idea if it is an actual Zippo lighter, (I would assume it is not) but I presume it could be a British lighter since the movie was set in Great Britain during WWII. I looked around the internet for a bit and count not find the style of lighter. I appreciate any help, thanks!

Bought this lighter at a flea market. Made by Kingstar. I took it apart and couldn't get those parts (in front of lighter) to fit back in. Please help.

ST Dupont flame problem

I have a ST Dupont lighter which does not seem to be working that well anymore. Whenever I try to light it, the flame lights for about a second and then just shuts off. Rotating the screw on the bottom does not seem to matter, the flame looks to be about the same size regardless if it is on max or low. I've always used the xtend brand fluid (from ST Dupont). Might this be repairable? http://imgur.com/r8jzUwZ

Numyth Tohil Lighter

Bought this small peanut survival lighter. Unlike a Zippo (love them though) the fluid will not evaporate on you. Takes standard Zippo flints as well. Brass inner barrel with aluminum main body - really well made.

Found a lighter yesterday but I need help!

So like the title suggests, I found this yesterday. Does anyone know how it works? Or what type it is? Or how much it's worth? Also I need to refuel it but does it need a flint?
