VVAY Permanent Match, Waterproof Trench Forever Match Survival Fire Starter Keychain Lighter

Works Great. Easy to use. Seals great, fluid does not leak out or evaporate.

There's lots to like here:• It looks and feels good. A worn looking finish is covered in a smooth clear coat.• Both external pivots are tight, but not so tight they're unusable.• With a LITTLE bit of practice, you can light it every time.• The flame is BIG. Smoky big. You can cut the wick down, but that makes it slightly more difficult to light.• Refilling is easy, it just has the one hole.There are also a lot of things that annoy me.• Some types of service are impossible, it just has the one hole.• The threading to hold the match in is poorly started. You have to spin the match backwards, get it to line up, then you can screw it in.• The steel striker is too long. It gets caught in the cotton wadding and makes it VERY difficult to screw and unscrew the match. Alternately, maybe there's too much cotton. However, as noted above, there is no way to adjust this, no access to the internals. You can poke a hex key in through the match hole and pack the cotton down... but as soon as it soaks up fuel it expands again. I tried cutting the striker a little shorter with a dremel... it wasn't enough.• The flint rod is flush, nearly recessed in the body of the lighter. It's very easy for the striker to run off the side of it and scratch the lighter.• The exterior was in great shape, and the interior as well when I peered in with a flashlight, but the steel striker is rusty.

This was a very disappointing purchase. I couldn't get it to reliably light and then the flint snapped off in the storage container. I do not recommend.

Easy to use, very handy, love that it hooks to my keychain.

Quality isn't great but theyre really cool. One broke off the keychain within a week, and neither hold fluid very long.

I like it. Zippo fluid works fine to fill it. Is easy enough to use and even gifted one to a friend. Will come in handy.

I had high hopes for this to be an ultra reliable, out in the boonies lighter that didn't need a USB charge. It does take some getting used to for the flint to be worn enough to get a good spark, and it does spark very well over time, but actual lighting is a chore. It routinely takes 5 - 10 sparks before you get a flame. (The trick seems to be to run it down the flint, and keep it upside down.)Perhaps a bad design, but even when you are able to get it lit, you can MAYBE get one or two lights off of it before it's empty. Mostly because it sort of 'gathers steam' and the flame gets more intense the longer it's lit...draining what's in the tube.If you buy this, be sure to pack plenty of lighter fluid, but outside of the 'cool' factor, you're better off with a cheap disposable lighter for your pack.

Great little gift and they work. I have given at least 10 as gifts and everyone loved them
