VVAYVintage Kerosene Oil lighter Golden Combo with Permanent Match(Sold without Petrol)

I usually use Zippo, and refill around every 3 days. This has lasted two weeks without, so far, a refill. Easy to light of you have a reasonably strong thumb. Well designed, the permanent match once you learn the trick, put its edge in the grove at the side of the striker and push it away hard, works well. It has a place for a spare flint. This is how my favourite lighter.

The media could not be loaded. Good lighter with a little bit of a learning curve to get used to. The “everlasting match” is more of a gimmick than it actually working, striked once and has not worked since. The lighter on the other hand is built well from my experience and strikes nearly every time. A little tip i had to find out myself is that if your having issues with the flint, take out the little gold metal thing at the end of the spring and dont fully tighten the spring back in, no leaks with daily usage and for people struggling to spark it, use the little metal dials thats sparks it, learnt the hard way with a blister on my hand trying to spark it from the actual flint wheel and not the dials

Nice stylish lighter with a bit of weight to it. The striker is a little tricky to use at first, but you get the hang of it. And dose come in handy to light a tobacco pipe or a hurricane lantern for camping.You get some spair flints and 'O rings seals' as well as a wick, although not sure how to replace this should the time needed as the lighter is completely sealed.The instructions don't tell you that. It works just like any type of petrol lighter. But I have found it doesn't last as long. Strange.Overall, not a bad lighter.

Did not last all too long before breaking, seemingly made cheaply with little quality control. When it was working it did look nice but not enough to justify it.When it came it would leak. The wick that it burns goes quite fast and would need many replacements if the rest hadn't stopped working earlier.

Amazing lighter for the price. Instant addition to my EDC.

Worked for 2 says ,now will not work....replacement wick and flint....but still won't work......wast of money

You could make up your own history for this lighter - tell them it was your grandfathers, whatever, and the layman would take it all in. It feels great in the hand, hefty and solid, and strikes virtually every time. Comes nicely boxed with spare flints, wick, and a little ‘key’ for unscrewing the fluid cover. Amazing value for money, and a nice alternative to the ever common Zippo.

I bought 9 of these as groomsmen gifts for my coming up wedding. Pros and cons:Pros:- Looks great- relatively cheap- Comes with spare partsCons:- Not easy to lightThat is only one con but it is a big one for a lighter. I spent hours before giving the gifts away trying to understand how to make them work better but, despite this, they were a flop when giving the gifts away because it is difficult to get a flame on the main lighter, and the permanent match is even harder (but that is more of a novelty so more forgivable). Some worked better than others, but arguably none of them well enough.I think I kid myself for ages that they WERE good gifts but needed some work, but I've backtracked on that when they became an embarrassing gift where people would have a competition to see how many attempts it took to get the lighter lit, and some were never able to light one. It has become a bit of a joke amongst friends too, and half them friends are smokers, so it's not due to a lack of experience with lighters.So yeah, sadly, I bought this because of the cost effectiveness but i got what I paid for... I would have put my money elsewhere if I had known this outcome.
