If I use this lighter, then put it on the shelf for two years, will it then light on the first strike again (like a $3 Djeep)?

There is a very good possibility that it will. You may have to fill with butane first if the seals don't keep it in for that long but I think it will. It is the best lighter you can find. It is worth the money. I only use mine maybe once a month and it works every time.

Sorry but I can't answer that question. I don't keep my lighter for that long on a shelf.

I've had mine about 2 years now and use it quiet a bit at work. The only time mine didn't light good is if the tip wasn't seated good and when the smallest tip had some corrosion from so much use..I now use the next size tip and haven't had anymore problems. It's mportant the tip is clean and seated good where it mates to lighter. Good luck.

Mine also smoked when I first fired it up and I was concerned enough to actually measure the actual current going through it when set for 20VAC, which is right where I use it as well. I also use mine for an acrylic and lexan plastic bender. After measuring the current and assuring myself that I was not exceeding the capacity of the Triac, I have been using it with no problems. So - my experience is that it will smoke on first use, and then be fine.

Sorry, but there are so many superior charcoal lighters out there that I will never use my Looflighter again.Wanna buy it? $30, and I'll pay shipping. Used once. You'll be disappointed, I promise.

Yes. Any movement will trigger it, but the light will not stay on very long.

I have used the same one about 6 times. It lit still ok. I have a spare few blades. It's a great product.

Yes, but you may get some black discoloration from the lighter, but it should just wipe off unless you over heat it.

Once the unit is fully charged it will work for days on that charge. It also depends on how much the unit is on. If the unit is triggered often the more it needs sunlight to re-charged. This light has worked great for me.

YES...if you look at the yellow lighter in the picture, the lighter is about 2/3 full.There is a refill node on the bottom. There is a hint to place the lighter in a freezer for a few hours prior to refill.I will put it in the vegetable crisper, I am concerned the plastic might crack due to temperature shock.

No, mine generally hits on first pull if I remember to set choke and have switch in run position. I crank it about once every one to two months to keep it ready. Only use NON ETHENOL gas in it! ! !

I had an issue with the first one I got. The flame would pulse. I contacted Amazon and they exchanged it. It was right away so I was able to return it. I've had my other one for two years and I love it. It works just likemy Snap-on one but half the cost.

I have had mine for about two months, used it maybe seven or eight times. No issues yet. Seems to work fine but not as bright as I'd hoped. Plus I don't like the cold color temperature look of the LED's, but that's to be expected with white LED lighting.

yes it will. when I test it every six months I hold a cigarette a few feet from alarm and It goes off within 5-10 seconds.

In the instruction booklet on page 5, it explains the "Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off" Bottom line is if you leave it on its heel plugged in, the light will flash after 8 minutes then shut off. I tried it and it worked. If the iron is moved again, it starts reheating. My advice pull the plug like I do.

I strongly invest in buying a Weber (or other) Chimney Starter for $15 to light your charcoal. Two sheets of crumbled newspaper in the bottom (I add a tablespoon of old frying oil to extend the burn time per Alton Brown as insurance), charcoal (lump preferably, the briquettes generate a lot more ash) goes on top, light the newspaper, and 15 minutes later you are ready to go; I've almost never had a failure. Versus paying an extra $50 for the Platinum with its propane starting system, plumbing, buying/replacing propane, ignighters, flashups, plumbing, etc.

Good question. It says no proof of purchase warranty, if lighter needs parts for repair they will cover if its within 5 years, but with no proof how will they know how old it is. No proof for discontinued models...No word of how much they will charge for shipping tho, usually this charge will be unreasonably close to purchase price of lighter when new. Sad, but eventhe most expensive butane torches will not last long...Cheers!

If you're fortunate enough to get it lit, simply pop off the burner and it will extinguish itself rapidly. Should you need new burners buy six and if you're lucky you will have two that actually work. Don't expect a refund. Oh yeah. You will not have an easy time unwrapping the new burners,
