Yeah though, even the refillable ones have their faults. The clicker spark button igniter thing tends to end up breaking all on its own within around ~10 refill cycles, at least in my experience.
I’m all about renewable and reusable tech, and I’m actually happy to have this lighter as long as I can keep it lasting, but sadly nothing lasts forever…
I love my little electric lighter, I consider it a clean upgrade. But for about ten years I’ve had the same metal clipper lighter (butane, refillable) and just replaced the flint again so it feels fresh.

I’ve never seen one that isn’t, that just sounds depressing.

Flint is actually more reliable in the long run than those electric clicker things, so yeah that’s awesome actually 👍
