I'll probably get this just because it looks handy, and it's cheap. And I'm a sucker for a cheap handy.

You can get pretty cheap lighters at DealExtreme.com (or pretty much any other Chinese dropshipper) too..

[edit]
The O-Ring is probably one of the coolest features, evaporation is one of the worst things about fluid lighters..

The discount only takes off $0.34.

@ke5pcv: Unless my math is incorrect, $2.24 minus $0.34 equals $1.90 as the OP stated.

I have one of these (or a similar Chinese lighter). The O-ring seems to hold the fuel very well but even when it is freshly filled, it is very hard to light anything while outside. Definitely not windproof but for 2 bucks it's still convenient to have around imo.

The only other website I've seen these lighters sold at:

http://www.countycomm.com/sslight.htm

They sell for $11.50 each over there so I may have to go ahead and grab a couple. Been wanting at get some just couldn't rationalize spending that much on a lighter when I don't even smoke.

Highly doubt the quality is anything like CountyComm. They are a US military and government contractor. The $1.90 lighter is from Hong Kong. A bit different!

@completetechonline: @iskuby: Yeah, that CountryComm lighter was actually engineered (or I guess re-engineered) for improved function..quote from the website (videos of it getting ran over by a firetruck and stuff too)

"Here's what we came up with to improve it:

>Manufacture it out of 300 Series Stainless Steel
>Make it smaller (about .5'' x 1.9")
>Make it flat on the end so it can be used as an candle in an emergency.
>Removable lighter insert allows it to be used as a waterproof stainless steel pill vial"

Probably a little better than the Chinese lighter that cost 4¢ to make :)

I think countycomm is a great site and no argument here that they make quality stuff. However, all I need a mini lighter for is to make a fire. That's why right now I keep disposable lighters in my backpack and my vehicle. They're cheap and if I lose one I don't care. I mean $1.90 vs. $11.50 that is almost 10x more expensive and I don't think it will light a fire 10x better. If you absolutely cannot have anything but the world's strongest mini lighter then countycomm's got you covered!

Just got an e-mail from PayPal:

"Tung Nam Trading Inc just sent you a full refund of $1.90 USD for your purchase. If you have any questions about this refund, please contact Tung Nam Trading Inc."

Note from merchant
out of stock, sorry!

Glad I could float 'em some cash for a few weeks though, that's cool.. I wonder how many other Wooters got stuck with a $2 loan? I guess the personal/billing info is just a bonus..

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
