Would buy again (and actually did).
I have owned these for about a year. The butane one has been reliable (I'm a smoker so I use it daily). I haven't really used the argon one so no info on that other than it's kind of neat. I have used the butane one to solder with (small jobs). Note: had problem with lighter because a small piece of solder fell into the ignitor and prevented spark. My own fault. After cleaning it worked fine again. Note: once butane is empty, it helps to fully purge it before refilling. I suppose purging before first fill is also helpful to get a full fill, considering comparison of ambient pressure between place of manufacturing vs "shipped to" location. I live at 5200 feet above sea level. Note: TSA confiscated my first unit. Not allowed on flights. I had that for about a year as well before confiscation. Read more
