gas lighters

[Forest Cobbler]

Hi

Can anyone recommend a supplier for a range of reliable gas lighters? We're also looking for Clipper lighters.

 

Many thanks, Valerie

I use Wilson & Son for Clippers. I also had some jet flame lighters from them made by Crocodile but wasn't very pleased with them, had too many back going wrong so won't get them again.

 

I was thinking of trying the new Zippo Blu2, bit more reasonably priced.

Anyone sold many yet?

Good quality?

Thanks for the info about Clippers, and we'll avoid the Crocodile lighters because that's a problem that we kept having with Hadson. One of several reasons we stopped dealing with their supplier and why we're looking for something else.

 

We tried ZippoBlu a few years ago but ended up reducing them because they weren't selling. We have been asked for them since though, so maybe trends are changing.

The Blu2 are a bit cheaper and look more like the standard Zippo lighter, so may sell better.

I had a customer that liked Zippo's but wanted a gas version so he found an insert on Ebay that fits a standard Zippo but is a gas lighter. I think he paid about £12 for one, can't remember what they were called now. Would need to get them cheaper than that to retail at a reasonable price but I'm not willing to order thousands from China on Alibaba on the off chance of selling a few!!!

Ideally we're looking for a range of shapes and sizes, ladies and gents, plain and decorated.

 

Thanks, Valerie

I've never known anyone sell many of the zippo blu. I had a load and had to massively reduce them.

There is a fella nearby who sells quite a few colibri lighters. They are pretty good quality and I don't think they are particularly expensive.

Worth a look

Thanks

Rayknight is certainly worth further investigation, and I've definitely come across that name before.

 

I cannot find any lighters listed on the Wilson & Son website, so I'll give them a call to check whether they still do them.

 

Wage Slave, please can you ask the 'fella nearby' where he gets his Colibris from? I've done a search for wholesalers and come up with a very odd bunch.

 

Thanks again, Valerie
