IM Corona's are a mid grade lighter as far as price is concerned (anywhere from $75 and up really), but the quality is unmatched at the price in my opinion. With a lifetime warranty, and some nudging from an older pipe smoker who had his for 19 years (older than me at the time) I bought my first a year ago.
I bought the Pipemaster Series, a Piezo electric lighter, for $90 at my B&M. I was distraught at the price, but after a year of it getting abused by pocket change, pocket knifes, dropped in a snow puddle, gone through the washing machine twice, it still fires with EVERY click.
Here's what she looks like all beat up and "oldened"
My most recent IM was an Accord in gold plating. It has a 90 degree flame whereas my Pipemaster is 45 degrees, perfect for pipes (obviously haha). I have only had this one for about a month, but no issues yet! The wheel is very smooth and has little resistance to flick it. It, as with my other, lights with every PROPER flick of your thumb.
Always use nothing short of TRIPLE REFINED BUTANE. I use King butane, but there are a number of other brands out there. Post your opinions of IM Corona's, pictures, good luck, and misfortune!
