So after watching this video I’ve decided on getting one for myself. And just by chance I had found that zorro makes a solid brass one. It’s called a zorro 612. It’s only 13$ and is the same design as yours. I got the gold colour instead of chrome or black. Claims to have the bright sound also lol. Gotta watch though because is there is a ton of cheap butane versions. Fluid ones seem to be more expensive.
I’m currently purchasing a fake as well, do you think you could post a video about servicing and putting gas in it? Thanks you just earned a new subscriber!
Just a couple of months basically haha. Mine got here sooner than estimated I think, which was cool, so maybe watch for that? Who knows with these Chinese companies though.
@@kismitscornerAnd thank you for the reply! Pretty sure I’ve found the same ones but with different color plating and after watching this I might just take the risk and order one. Used to have an original Dupont ligne 2 but sold it because of the constant paranoia about losing or damaging it. The plating was also ridiculously thin for something so expensive.
@ Oh wow, sorry to hear about the bad plating, I hear some have plastic tanks too, so who knows. These really are great lighters though. I would get one that is like 40 ish bucks, that is what I paid and have been happy. Of course shipping took forever, but that is to be expected.
It is quite easy to fill. There is a little cap that unscrews so you can access the filling port, then you just use butane with the regular nozzle. Thanks for watching!
It has been so long that I think that particular seller isn't there any more. Just search "Bright Ping Sound Lighter" on aliexpress and then be very careful and look at reviews and performance. I really believe that I got lucky with this one. Sorry that I can't help further, but thank you for watching.
This one takes butane, any high quality butane will work. Colibri is good if you can find it. I am using Vector right now, and have been happy so far. Thanks for watching@
I hope this message reaches you. So im looking forward to order a few lighters off of Aliexpress and i wanted to ask a few questions. 1. would you order lighters again from aliexpress if you had to and why? 2. how has your ST Dupont held up until now? any problems? does it run without any issues? 3. does it regularly need to be maintained? 4. Ive seen a lighter which im sure you've seen as well all over social media, it has a crocodile or alligator that has flame coming out of the mouth. i've heard people report that this specific model leaks gas and there is no point in trying to fix it. have you had the same issue? 5. have you had any problems with lighters you have ordered from Aliexpress?
@@bigbruh537 I have ordered a few lighters from Aliexpress, maybe 3 or 4 separate orders. It depends on what lighter you get, the particular ST Dupont fake has been a solid option, never changed the flint, filled it maybe 10 times total? It has worked flawlessly. I think those alligator lighters are unfortunately cheap junk, never heard anything good about them. I don’t have one though, so I can’t attest to them personally. Oh, and yes, I would definitely order from Aliexpress again. Just be sure to find a reputable seller with good feedback not only for their store, but for the individual item as well. Thanks so much for your comment, hope this helped, and thanks for watching!
Ive bought an alligator lighter, when it worked it was amazing but only worked for about 2 months before it busted. If you have it on full, it is dangerous. I have burnt the ends of my hair and my eyelashes using it. Worth it though because it looks badass
I got mine a while back, maybe they are no longer made? I have not been able to find another either. Sorry I can't be of help, but thanks for watching! @@brianjaimes8067
@@kismitscorner these Ligne2 copies are not made in torch (same goes for legit ones). Soft flame all around. There's the Le Grande series that does both soft and torch, but they are also larger to accommodate the extra bits. Lastly, the 2 hatches on the bottom are for gas regulation and the other is butane fill port. You change the flint from the top. All are like the originals in this respect. I been wondering if anyone had one and reviewed it so thanks for this vid.
@@tainowarrior5781 I would like to see a version that has a torch option like you mentioned on the Le Grand. Glad to have helped, this lighter is still going strong as well, so I would definitely try one out!
@@kismitscorner lol, in fact mine will be here this week. Just like yours but gold. A copy of a 1980s Montparnasse edition. I doubt Le Grande copies will be made because the Chinese factories would have to engineer from the ground up. Keep yours alive with good butane. I recommend Newport. Zero impurities keeps your fuel line clear. Amazon has great deals on it. Get you some and enjoy your lighter for a good long time, sir.
I do not have a link to the same place I got mine from, try looking up "Ping sound lighter Aliexpress" on Google and you should find some lighters that look similar to mine. I can't vouch for the quality of every vendor, so please do your due dilligence as a shopper and research before buying :) Thanks for watching!
Still holding up really well! I changed the flint and have refilled it several times now, really a great lighter. Be sure to look at reviews on AliExpress. Make sure you are getting a quality item. If you get one like mine you won't be disappointed!
That was my thought, I just enjoy it as a lighter. Of course I would love a real ST Dupont, but they are like 400 bucks! No way haha! Thanks for watching!
The problem i have with knock off luxury items is that it devalues what it means to own the genuine product I understand not everyone can spend almost 2 grand on a lighter I recently bought the le grand ligne 2 crepuscule monte christo collaboration lighter from la cassa del habano in Brussels and its an absolute masterpiece It is more about pretending it is something when it's not that i have issues with But of course, if you don't have the means yet I partly understand, but there are many great lighter from dunhill, montblanc and dupont for a couple hundreds I started my dupont journey with the maxijet which was 290 A very beautiful lighter but its not a ligne 2 le grand Enjoy it in good health though ❤
Yes, this is a problem with knockoffs. I just wanted a cool looking lighter that was made well, and this just happened to be a knockoff. I wasn't looking specifically for a knockoff, but I just saw this one and was fascinated by it. I will openly say it is a knockoff, I agree when people try to pass off fakes as real items that is not right. I am currently looking at an IM Corona, the real deal. They are like $120, a little more reasonable, at least for my budget haha. Awesome that you got to get the real thing, I am sure it is a masterpiece. There IS a difference in things like that, but I can't justify spending that much just yet. Thanks so much for watching and the comment, lots to think about!
@kismitscorner anytime 😊! Smoking cigars is a luxury everyone can afford And so it goes with lighters, the IM corona is a gorgeous lighter and you'll see that you'll feel much better lighting up your cigaret or cigar with that lighter as it is genuine product The ligne 2 are usually made out of solid brass and then lacquered or coated with either platinum, palladium or gold You have 3 variations the normal ligne 2 with single soft flame, the ligne 2 double flame and the the le grand with a double flame and blue flame mechanism built in The price varies from the complexity of the lighter Of course dupont makes lighters that are made from solid materials but instead of the 1350 to 2k mark, you look at 20k The weight is mostly due to the full brass construction it feels solid in the hand and weighs more, and once you spark the flame it does sound different on the genuine lighter But congratulations on the IM corona! Something you will be able to rely on for generations to come!
Im not saying hes done this, but buying 1 real dupont and making a video claiming its an aliexpress product would be a very good way to advertise cheap knockoffs that youre selling yourself on aliexpress.
Problem is, is that I refuse to give links because Aliexpress is a little risky to buy from at times, you never know what you will get. I got lucky with mine and wanted to share it. Thanks for watching though.
Same lighter is $1500 from ST Dupont.
Wow! I could never afford anything like that, so I will stick to my knock off! Thanks for watching!
I just spend the money because the ping is just 100% right but the knockoffs are definitely pretty good too ❤️
Exactly the same quality@@Staruri

Awesome! You'll have to do a vid on it, sounds cool.
@@kismitscorner yeah pretty excited but estimated delivery is Jan 27 lol
Ouch haha. Gotta love shipping from China.@@Zippofanatic77outdoors
tip...buy the gold or chrome, not the lacquered one. bright sound. btw I have 3. haha
Thanks for the tip!@@giri4681
I’m currently purchasing a fake as well, do you think you could post a video about servicing and putting gas in it? Thanks you just earned a new subscriber!
@@izraellopez3121 Sure! It is quite easy, I will make a short about it. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
Cool lighter! Is this fluid or butane? Also does it need an adapter?
This one is butane, so far I have used regular butane cans from Zippo, so no, no adapter needed! Great little lighter!
@@kismitscorneroh dang yours is butane. The one I got coming is fluid. Can’t wait for it to get here lol no idea when it will get here
Yeah, that's why I am so interested to see if yours turns out cool, I will have to get one. @@Zippofanatic77outdoors
I keep watching this video dreaming of when mines gonna get here haha.
Just a couple of months basically haha. Mine got here sooner than estimated I think, which was cool, so maybe watch for that? Who knows with these Chinese companies though.
New video is gonna be about a st DuPont?
How’s it doing a year later? Very tempted to get one as a birthday gift for a friend.
@@elmanitasdeplomo If you can find one similarly built, yeah, it is great, one of my favorite lighters ever. Thanks for watching!

Is it easy to fill with butane? Does it require a special nozzle?
It is quite easy to fill. There is a little cap that unscrews so you can access the filling port, then you just use butane with the regular nozzle. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your review.
Can you maybe tell me the name of the seller. There are so many on aliexpress.
I want to be sure to get the same quality

Which Butane gas does it take or is it compatible?
This one takes butane, any high quality butane will work. Colibri is good if you can find it. I am using Vector right now, and have been happy so far. Thanks for watching@
@kismitscorner Much appreciated. Thanks for the info.
just ordered a dupont cant wait
How long your flint last?
A pretty decent amount of time. I think I have changed it once just to learn how to do it, it is a little finnicky.
I hope this message reaches you. So im looking forward to order a few lighters off of Aliexpress and i wanted to ask a few questions.

@@jayweezy3264 My pleasure! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your lighter if you get one!
Yeah I’d never pay that for a lighter. No thank u lol. I actually found ones cheaper on aliexpress that don’t have the engraving.
I haven't looked lately, but this design was the one I liked out of all of them. It was perhaps a bit pricy. Thanks for watching!
@@kismitscorner I think the quality u got with it was worth the price.
I mean this thing weighs a ton and the tank lasts a while. I am pretty happy with it. @@Zippofanatic77outdoors
Either way, I think it looks cool 😎. I've been more into other brands of lighters lately, other than just Zippos as well.
That was my thought, I just enjoy it as a lighter. Of course I would love a real ST Dupont, but they are like 400 bucks! No way haha! Thanks for watching!
$400-$500 for a dupont? try 1200-1300 haha. crazy overpriced. I'm surprised how good this knockoff is!!
The problem i have with knock off luxury items is that it devalues what it means to own the genuine product
I understand not everyone can spend almost 2 grand on a lighter
I recently bought the le grand ligne 2 crepuscule monte christo collaboration lighter from la cassa del habano in Brussels and its an absolute masterpiece
It is more about pretending it is something when it's not that i have issues with
But of course, if you don't have the means yet
I partly understand, but there are many great lighter from dunhill, montblanc and dupont for a couple hundreds
I started my dupont journey with the maxijet which was 290
A very beautiful lighter but its not a ligne 2 le grand
Enjoy it in good health though ❤

@kismitscorner anytime 😊! Smoking cigars is a luxury everyone can afford
And so it goes with lighters, the IM corona is a gorgeous lighter and you'll see that you'll feel much better lighting up your cigaret or cigar with that lighter as it is genuine product
The ligne 2 are usually made out of solid brass and then lacquered or coated with either platinum, palladium or gold
You have 3 variations the normal ligne 2 with single soft flame, the ligne 2 double flame and the the le grand with a double flame and blue flame mechanism built in
The price varies from the complexity of the lighter
Of course dupont makes lighters that are made from solid materials but instead of the 1350 to 2k mark, you look at 20k
The weight is mostly due to the full brass construction it feels solid in the hand and weighs more, and once you spark the flame it does sound different on the genuine lighter
But congratulations on the IM corona! Something you will be able to rely on for generations to come!
Your lighter isn't a masterpiece. It's low quality and badly made with cheap materials. It just has a high price tag
