You mind reader you.

I was hoping that you would bump up. The postage to you seems expensive to me: Global Priority (small envelope) $5.25. There must be less expensive postage to the Netherlands.

IN IN IN!

Thanks for being the spearhead on this one, Oregon.

I would also have interest in a permanent match group buy if the permanent match was an ALL METAL unit.

I'm in Arizona.

If they come out < $3 apiece prior to shipping/packaging, I'm in for 7
If they come out $3-$5 apiece prior to sh/pkg I'm in for 5

there is, Airmail letterpost would do just fine for cheap items like these... but its a bit slower. See this: http://pe.usps.com/text/pub51/51tblb_002.html#vnameref_5 for the rates.

and my colleagues want some too, so, again an upgrade... I'll take 5 lighters, and GPM shipping is fine with me. I dont mind paying a few $ more for 2 weeks less shippingtime (and with the euro as high as it is right now, it really isnt that much of an issue anyway )

Oregon,

Incidentally, did you ever have a chance to try to replace the lighter's flint with a standard store-bought flint?

I would be very surprised if it did not take standard lighter flints, because I've never in my life seen any variance in sizing, but in the EDC forums thread, it mentioned someone thought a Ronson flint might have been too big - although it was pointed out that the flint might have gotten hung up on cotton.

Would be helpful if you could let us know.

Thanks!

Thanky you kindly for the postal rate sheet. I could not be certain that those rates applied to a 4" x 7" bubble mailer with thickness exceeding 1/4". So I posted the GPM mailing fee.

You have been bumped to 5 units. Check the Interested Party list on page #1, post #24 of this thread.

Re: survival keychain lighter, GB interest list

I ordered some flint packs and some wick packs off the bay. I'll experiment with the flints when they arrive and post my findings.

However, I had quite a time removing the flint, the one that came with the lighter, and then placing the same flint back in the unit. It seemed to be too large! It came out by tapping the open and inverted lighter. It had to be held with tiny pliers and shoved into the flint channel with a tiny screwdriver. I've been using pizo electric lighters too long and I guess that I have lost any flint, fluid and wick skills that I used to have.

Careful when you try this because the spring is mighty and the parts are small = recipe for lost parts. Open it in a bread bag perhaps.

dont worry, as long as its under 4 pounds and fits through a standard mailslot, the rates apply. And to give a bit of an idea of the shipping time, this form of shipping usually takes 2-3 weeks to western europe.

Sidebar: Curiously, and not that you would know this, but Danish postal regulations forbid lighters with catalyst ignition. What kind of lighter would this be? http://pe.usps.gov/text/Imm/immicl/immiclcd_020.html

Ronson flint might have been too big - although it was pointed out that the flint might have gotten hung up on cotton.

I have tried a Ronson flint with the red paint worn off, it was sitting in the bottom of my zippo, and it just fit. So don't expect to get the flint out of the lighter, it will most likely get hung up on the threads, mine did going in. What might need enlarging is the wick hole, when it comes time to change the wick.

Thanks for the info...I just wanted to make sure that these things weren't going to be an issue to replace flints on, which I'd only do after the first wore out anyway.
