Try a local gas station or smoke shop. That's where I've seen dozens of them.

As long as you don't actually plan on lighting/smoking anything. Those lighters never really work well.

smoking's extremely disgusting
i just like to play with fire

anyone know if there are any other places online i can order them?

the site i had up there (http://www.getlit.com) has the lighters at $ 37(after S&H) which i think is a little to much


and i did see some mini torches at home depot but they're a little too big to carry in my pocket

I've had a few; I got them at the dollar store and flea markets. They only last a few months if you're using them for extended periods of time, but for a dollar, hey, you can't lose!

Torch lighters are teh suck, they're really cool at first but even $100 lighters crap out....... My dual flame Colibri isn't a torch lighter but it's cool and has lasted quite awhile, it you're set on a torch lighter a Colibri is your best bet.

torches are great if you need to set someones house on fire in the rain or wind. They usually take butane and butane is really cheap. As long as you don't get a really cheap one, they should last a long time. Just refill as needed.

Mini butane lighters are cheap and can be found at your neighborhood Ace, Lowe's, or Home Depot. Some car parts stores even carry them.

Besides, you could have much more fun with something like this: http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=prod...5-717-ST1100TS

I got one in the french market in new orleans for 3 dollars. Awesome on the aesthetic, but the flame incinerates rather than lights. Just a nice piece in my collection.

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but I've owned several of these and they don't usually work too well. I mean, they do for a little while, but then the sparks stop working, or the fuel runs out too fast, or they just stop lighting for whatever reason. Don't bother trying to refill them either, cause that always seems to really screw them up.

Eh... whatever. Try not to burn the house down.
