[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 303074"] That's a weird statement in their copy. The issue isn't the technology as much as quality control by the manufacturer. Most originate these days from China and the quality there is all over the board. All it is a little hammer striking quartz which deforms to generate electricity. My longest lived lighter lasted a fair number of years and failed not for the ignition but the linkage to it failing. I think current lighter longevity relates more to the valve mechanism in torch lighters -- which seems very high maintenance. Soft flames seem the best way to go with pipes. That's said with 20-20 hindsight. [/QUOTE]
