I know some of us have been trying to find a cheaper price for these lighters. Countycomm has started carying these lighters for $5.00 found on ETS.

Very nice!
Countycomm seems to be on top of the cool stuff.

At 5 bucks I will be getting a few.
 
Thank you gyro. The markets move fast these days. Good for buyers.

$5 delivered from hkcmtse (Hong Kong Certified Machine Tool Sales Engineer) direct. cm.tse@tvb.com.hk I ordered directly via email on the 19th and delivery this morning (27th) = 8 days. You have a choice of finishes. These two units are gunmetal finish, perfect function and identical to all other units I've seen.

Are these the same ones that were reviewed on this board a few weeks ago? Or are they a cheaper look a like? There is a big price difference between 5 and 20 dollars.
 
From the descriptions, this lighter has provision for a seal to at least slow the evaporation of the fuel - a problem with conventional cigarette lighters.

Are there any other - perhaps larger - lighters that have some mechanism to seal in the liquid fuel?

Markup my friend. The price from the mfg delivered to USA $1.24/unit MOQ 200 units.

I have ordered the capsule lighter from: The manufacturer in China, thankyoustan in the USA, countycomm in the USA, and hkcmtse in Hong Kong.

The ones from the manufacturer s/b in customs in Seattle right now. When I receive them I will review them.

I ordered from countycomm yesterday so I can't say but they look identical.

The ones from thankyoustan and hkcmtse are identical. I have both in my hands.

You could follow my trail to the manufacturer here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=160486

Thank you!

The price is right.

(It does look identical to the one discussed a little while back. Close enough!!!)

The capsule lighters are like tiny gas cylinders. No openings except where the shell screws together where there is a rubber o-ring. While the O-ring keeps the fuel (white gas, naptha, etc) from evaporating it eliminates the smell of the fluid as it evaporates. You cannot smell the lighter.

Bigger, bigger, bigger... I don't know.

Oregon, may I assume from the timing of your puchase from hkcmtse that you paid by credit card?

Paypal.

Have you noticed that Google is getting into this same business space? I haven't tried it myself but I would like to. I learn more by doing.

Orergon,

Do you have a few (5 pcs) for sale? You ship internationally? Do you accept Paypal?

Thanks,
CZ

I have self-sealing bubble mailers purchased delivered for 10 cents each. Postage is 63 cents. Actual shipping cost, without handling charges, are about 75 cents.

Sorry. No. I don't sell these. Just buying so far, somebody stop me.

The markets move so fast (towards less expensive) I would not want to hold many of these for sale. Hong Kong, at any time and without notice, could probably sell these (delivered) quite inexpensively.

I wouldn't hesitate to give hkcmtse a ping.

According to the eBay site, there is one left.

I've been following hkcmtse since I learned of his store. About two weeks I guess. His ebay capsule lighter inventory varies from 5 to 0 available. However, to find out particulars you could ping him directly.

He has competent english skills, knows his math and cuts a mean bargain.

I wonder if he is connected with providing tooling for the manufacturer since he appears to be associated with the Hong Kong Certified Machine Tool Sales Engineer program?

All the best,

oregon
 
Anyone interested in a group buy on these things? I just emailed him to see what we could get.

Anyone else thinkin of getting one?
