^ I don't think it's right to buy knock-offs, even if you get a good deal. Instead of paying the people who spent lots of time and effort to develop the innovative design of the Arc lighter, you're giving your money to people who spend their time stealing others' ideas for their own profit.

Anyway, I came to this thread because I'm about to order a GVG, and a torch lighter to pair. However, from the looks of this thread, the Turboflame Arc lighter seems to be a bit finicky, and prone to a number of issues. I don't want to have to diagnose lighter problems, or perform nozzle surgery. Any alternative recommendations?
