Lotus Duke V - anyone used one if these?

Researching lighters, this one keeps coming to the top of my possible. Does anyone here use one on the regular?

The Halfwheel review is worth reading (if you haven't already).

I am generally a fan of Lotus lighters product. They deliver at a very reasonable price point. 

Not perfect by any means but you could spend 5-10X for pseudo premium brand lighters and get the same lifetime (Colibri/Prometheus/Bugatti).

Since Xikar has officially denied my requests for warranty service, I'm not particularly concerned with that aspect. I'm mainly liking the concept of a vcut and a lighter in one package.

I overall had bad experience with Lotus and Xikar.

For budget lighters I recommend vector. The Tripump (now Quadpump) is their pricy lighters but you can find them for about 80 on ffs. I use a few lighters I bought for under 20 and they are solid. Enough storage room for butane, lights every time, comes with a lunch and losing it won’t be the end of the world.

For higher end lighters I am happy with my Dupont extreme. I also a Le Grand and a few line 2, happy with them.

I owned like 5 lotus and 2 Lamborghini (lighters of course) and some Tommy Bahama (made by Xikar I believe) and Xikar. I like some of these but they generally did not last a year. No reason for me to pay over 50 for lighters like that.

Just my experience of course
