I bought ten of these i've kept five for myself (tone of each of the colors I got)
I love that when the lighter has warmed up that the flame gets even bigger, and it even gains the capacity to shoot a fire ball!
The pentagonal thing on the flint stone is not a plus in my opinion, compared to a bic flint stone, it is much harder on the fingers, but the flame really does put a bic to shame.
Refilling is a bit tricky you have to apply a fair amount of pressure to depress the red nib on the bottom to begin fueling. Things can get a bit messy, but clean up is quick; just light your hand on fire and quickly wave it out, the lighter will prolly have enough fuel on it it catch on fire as well, so just drop it on the floor, it should go out before anything catches on fire.
I also made the mistake of refueling it with a naptha based lighter fuel, which one shouldn't do because the naptha doesn't evaporate in the lighter (because it has a really high boiling point) so no fuel comes out of the top when the plunger is depressed. As such i have an idea of how i can clean out the useless fuel, but it wont be an easy process, but its worth it cuz its my only green one.
Lastly I've been told they have a built in pokey, but i cant for the life of me find it, maybe I'm just a stupid American
All in all i would give this a 4.6, if it were an option, because i love the lighter, i just don't like the flint stone as much.
