I would like to add to the praise.

gamma: you're awesome.  I've been through what seems like 100 torch lighters and have never been fully satisfied, even with some of the more expensive models ($50+). But this, ohhhhh yea, this! has left me more then satisfied.  I just got mine in the mail and fired that sucker up on some delicious herbs. This thing never false starts and keeps the flame whirring beautifully. Two thumbs up and thank you!
