You can also discuss-one of the most frequently-purchased lighters in the world! I have a question, they are in truth the Dutch do? Or is it the work of the Chinese?

Yuzal a lot of Chinese lighters. Cricket on China does not like. If even China, it is very high quality, not underground.

Why such a prejudice about Chinese-made? Yes, three quarters of all the world is made in China only because of cheap labor, but in China can do (in particular, to collect from components) and they make very high quality products, whether it's iPhone, whether it's lighter :)

Of all disposable lighters Cricket - the best (those with a wheel).

10 years ago were disposable, transparent lighters (due to the vessel, also with a wheel) - were very sturdy. I do not know what kind of company.

Yes, self-other! Just when there is a choice between China and the "not China", the second option is usually more impressed =)

I now use the Chinese gas pipe lighters Jobon (different models). Excellent quality stuff, I tell you, even at a price of 10.07 dollars, I'm not talking about the more expensive models - hold in the hands of a high quality, reliable and worked well for a thing. So vooot ...

China highly populated country, a lot of people - not enough work, because almost all the brands profitable to produce them, the Chinese man is hardworking and unpretentious, the quality of goods produced by the "company" plant does not depend on the country where they built a factory, "TCI" it is the same in all plants and working on a good machine Chinese "zarulivaet in minus" Italian, Russian and Afghan diligence on. These narrow-eyed cute guys have managed to copy the knee-known Finnish phones, lighters American or Japanese cars, ugly, unlikely, but in fact "made of papier-mache and a life-size")))

And why all of a sudden it is Cricket? Totally different because Tokay, Swedish match, Feuodor etc. etc. - And the beetle and the toad do.

I divide them into two types - the ones in kotryh is useful for repair of vintage gas lighter parts and useless, do not contain anything interesting. :)

A Chinese lighters Yibao - well, almost Du Pont, say, 15 bucks of their prices are up to 50 Bachey Dupont ...

I will allow myself to dig up the theme and put in my 5 kopecks. about Cricket. 6-8 years ago we came across Crickets black with gold inscription and gold metal windscreen. These were the only crickets, which I saw the inscription "Made in Holland" (at least of those who paid attention to this aspect :-)). The rest are "ordinary" Crickets, standard color variations, across only manufactured in the Philippines.

By the way, Hartman, if not confused, Swedish Match - sort of like there's Cricket, ethno their commercial brand.

Yes, Bic - this is the pale horse, which udelal nafig entire market of lighters. I bought a hell of a manufacturer of disposable pens respectable and respected firm Flaminaire (in general that is what is left of it at the time ...) and made the firm of designers dazzle the first disposable lighter. From kapets it began. And for the market in general, lighter and lighter for designers in particular.

Disposable items for disposable people.

All the good time suotok! If we talk about fakes cricket, I noticed from personal experience such features: 1) fake crickets button under the gas spring is not to be energizing the button. 2) Remove the windshield and see the control valve from the usual transparent lighters (in normal crickets, the valve is not adjustable). 3) Gas to smell stinky. 4) The flame may jump. People do not get fooled by a fake!

Yes, what the fuck is the difference? Cheap - it is cheap and there's that fake, that the most that ninaest real cheap. As the difference between shit and shit sysadmin vagabond - vseravno shit, you have to be a foodie to understand the varieties.

And so kriketovskaya theme "do not get fooled by a fake" - was already thinking unfashionable as ten years, but no ... Najera someone forge cricket if it is worth exactly as much as a fake - three rubles for the purchase? And normlano transparent lighter sorts of interesting idiotic system with an uncontrolled fire - navybrasyvalsya kreketov in which it is "unregulated" lukewarm - and it does not screw up. Castle warm up the winter - cricket is unfit even for that with his rotten flames.

Well, smell the smell of gas - that's cool. It must burn, do not sniff ...
