Primus Power Ignitor Lighter - 2008 BCS

Purchased this lighter to place in my Primus Omni Fuel stove's carrying bag. Very easy to fill, simple to use, flames on like a blow torch, adjusts easily. Used it in Florida, cannot yet comment on performance at altitude.

Wow, this lighter takes a beating and never fails. It went on two very windy 3-week kayaking trips where, despite being doused with saltwater over and over because of my own forgetfulness in putting it in a safer place, always started like an absolute charm. It just spent the weekend winter camping in the Cascades with us and again performed perfectly. So glad to see backcountry.com has these back in stock; gonna order a couple more! Two thumbs up!

This little bugger lights every time and with authority. I was amazed at the quality, it feels like it should cost twice as much or more. Buy 2, you will not be disappointed.

I have not had to refill the lighter yet, so I cannot comment on that aspect.

Works wonderful below 10,000 ft. MSL elevation. Above that it becomes erratic at 11,000, and won't work at all above 13,000. Read elsewhere about turning down the output at higher altitude. Haven't tried that yet. Will report findings when I have a chance.

I've had mine for less than a year. Recently the igniter button would not consistantly spark. Now it will not ignite at all. It worked great when it worked. I would not expect it to last long. Always bring a backup source for starting a fire.
I emailed Primus, told them about the problem and asked about their warranty but I haven't received a response.
