Severe Quality Control Issues
I purchased this lighter to replace a similar one I had for several years which ultimately started losing fluid.  I found out the company had changed ownership and would not repair or warrant my previous lighter.  I enjoyed my original so much I purchased this one.  Within a year this lighter leaked from the valve, and would not hold fluid.  I contacted customer service, and they replaced it under their 2 year warranty.  Upon the first usage, the replacement lighter would not regulate the flow properly, and had virtually no flame.  I contacted customer service, and they immediately sent another lighter out.  Fast forward a few months, and this lighter's regulator failed and it became a blowtorch, even when completely turned down, and also burned me.  Once again I contacted customer service, and was informed that they had already replaced the lighter 2 times, and refused to provide another replacement, as the 2 year warranty had expired on the original lighter which had been purchased.  I truly expected more based upon the cost, and the reputation of the original Colibri.  I also have a Colibri Firebird triple torch lighter, and it's regulator blows like a blowtorch as well.<br /><br />I just received a Xikar Trezo triple torch , and I am forever finished with Colibri.
