Best refillable "real flame" lighters ever, but needs mods to reach its full potential.
I bought this exact set three years ago, and 80% are still perfect and used daily today. Two of them, their bottom buttons got pushed in and rendered them inoperable. I replace the hexagonal (gen 2) flint/thumb wheels with some I salvaged from SCRIPTO brand lighters. I've also done this mod with those cheap, translucent lighters you find everywhere. BIC thumb/flint wheels do not fit. Once the wheels were changed, they're great. Those stock hexagonal wheels seem too dull, or they wear out after a while. I tried cleaning them really well, but I'd have to flick the darn thing 6 times before it would light. Everyone always hated to use my lighters, because it wore out the skin on your thumb or finger. Now, they spark STRONG, and light first time every time. It's all about changing those wheels, which also makes it more comfortable and no longer gives me big callouses.Just a warning, I got excited seeing Clipper Lighters at wallsmarts, so I bought two packs. When I got home, I noticed they're a bit different, and much worse. These are made in China and they say, "Crystal" under the Clipper logo. I just ordered 20 more from the same seller I got these from, hoping they'll be the OG Made in Spain versions. Trying to stock up in case they go extinct. I bought 500 flints from China for like $3, took a month to arrive, but I'm all set. The cheapest bottles of butane I've found so far is BernzOmatic 5.5oz from Home Depot for like $5 I think it was.This picture shows two of the SPAIN lighters on the left, and the newer "Crystal" CHINA lighter in green on the right. The first black SPAIN lighter has a SCRIPTO wheel, it came with double wheels, but I just removed the outer discs. The next red one, has a generic thumb-wheel. The green one has a stock OEM hexagonal wheel.

Best reusable disposable lighter brand, ever.
This is the best brand of reusable and refillable and refurbishable lighters.I just wish I could buy new springs and ignition wheels because they would last even longer.This brand is so good currently that people steal them from me too often. I am almost through the whole set, and I have been refilling and refurbishing and maintaining them regularly.

NO MORE WASTEFUL DISPOSABLE LIGHTERS!
I bought these for my TEOTWAWKI stash, and boy oh boy am I glad I did. Bic lighters are very popular, but are not refillable, plus you can't replace the flints (which is pointless since you would run out of butane before the flints expire anyway). In other words, HIGHLY disposable.In contrast, the Clipper lighters: 1. can be easily and inexpensively refilled from bulk butane bottles. 2. come with flints that are also easily and inexpensively replaceable. 3. are very sturdily constructed, so they should last a long, long time. 4. have a unique 5-sided pentagonal shaped flint wheel that is very easy on your thumb during lighting.SUMMARY: Clippers are better built, have replaceable consumables and just a little more $$$ than inferior brands. What's not to love?---------- UPDATE 9-11-15 ---------SIX STARS?I have ordered these twice now and on both orders of ten lighters I found that all the lighters work spectacularly. Truly a QUALITY PRODUCT. At this point I thought I would share a couple of technical details that I have discovered.1. When the lighters are empty, they weigh in at 12.6 grams. When they are refilled they weigh 16.2 grams. Therefore it takes approx 3.5 grams of butane to fully fill them.2. I bought a 300ml can of 5X Power Butane. According to the label there are 165 grams of liquid (by weight), so each can provides approx 48 "fill-ups". At about $1 a lighter plus approx $3 for the butane (in a 12-pack discount pack) you get the equivalent of 48 new, SUPERIOR QUALITY refillable lighters for about $4. That's 8 CENTS apiece folks!FINAL NOTE: I have NOT received any products or discounts in exchange for my opinions. I am just happy when I find a quality product, and in this case one that is actually SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER than "cheap" disposable ones...

Imagine a refillable BIC... and then some.
I always wanted a BIC lighter that you could refill, I would not need to buy another for a while and keep the reliability of the lighter.Here is the answer, not only refillable, but you can replace the flint as well! I did not think about that before since every BIC lighter I have used runs out of butane before the flint. These Clipper lighters are reliable and keep sustainability in mind. Why buy something that you can only use once when you can extend the useful life of it by adding features that do not cost much more but allow reuse? That would only make sense!As a consumer, I would rather have a reusable item, or tool in this case, that cost a little more but saves me a lot in the long run. I salute Clipper for filling them with isobutane as well, very nice.

and they also light fairly easily. of course
Received them in a timely manner, all ten came very nearly filled, all ten work so far (ive had them for about a week), they come in a variety of colors... and they also light fairly easily. of course, these have a rolling pin as part of the design. i dont really use this myself as i only pipe smoke, though i do use it for poking holes into the packed tobacco in my bowl. they're small ( 1.5cm x 7cm) and the flame they let off is stable at ~2.5cm when the canister is mostly full. I havent tried to refill them yet but it seems pretty straightforward with a hole at the bottom you can stick the butane canister's nozzle in. ill come back and talk about it whenever i get the chance to do so.

great value, but not adjustable
if you like a big soft flame, these are a great value. But, if you are like me and like to adjust to a small flame, you can't

Well worth it!
Despite the lengthy delivery estimate of a week and a half, my package came in 4 days. The lighters are all full, and work quite well. The spark wheel is slightly different than normal, it is a hexagon rather than a round wheel. It carries the same "solid" feel that a Bic would. It comes with what they call an "exclusive cigarette roller"; it is a removable plastic cylinder attached to the spark wheel, which also is quite helpful for poking or stirring your tobacco. I received all the colors portrayed in the picture. Quite pleased.
