IMCO Super Triplex
I just got my IMCO Super Triplex lighter today and I couldn't be happier with it. It is very simple to operate, the design is very cool and it lights on the first strike every time. It is nickel plated steel and has a ten year warranty. I got the Super model because it has a slide to adjust how much airflow reaches the flame while the standard and slimline models just have open slots for air that cannot be closed. I was concerned that there would be some fluid loss when I was not using the lighter if I could not close the air slots but the "snuffer" portion of the cap actually forms a seal around the wick when closed so I think the other models would be fine and the adjustable airflow does not make a huge difference in operation. The only negative thing I could say is it seems like it will chew through flints really fast! I have been striking it a lot more than I normally would just checking it out and showing it off but I have already worn the flint down half way in one day! It has a very aggressive spark, which is a plus in that it will always light on the first strike regardless of any weather but I would order a few packs of flints with it if you like to play with your new toys as much as I do.
