i am using the xikar purofino high altitude formula...bought an st dupont butane can and removed the plastic tip and adapted to the xikar butane can...much better flame.
Thanks for the review. I’m wondering, can you ignite the torch without first igniting the soft flame? Just thinking about situations where it is a bit windy and difficult to get the softflame to ignite without blowing out instantly. As it would mean you cant use the torch in these situations also. Thanks for any information you can offer
I love mine. The Rolex of lighters. It was almost was taken away at the airport security.....I would have stayed and missed my flight so I could have shipped it home.
I have the laquer le grand and no ping. I wish that i have seen this video before. I also have a problem with the torch flame. It wont work alsays so i send the lighter for the waranty.
I bought one of those from AliExpress and after the third use the ignition broke and I got a ball of fire in my face. No damage but some singed beard hair, just beware of those fakes.
I heard the newer ones perfect cling is made out entirely of brass unlike the older LeGrand models. If I have to buy one, I would buy the newer LeGrand. I am satisfied with my Gatsby, Ligne2 and Maxijet. All made in France baby!!
haaa not even for me i could never justify spending that on a lighter less it comes solid gold encrusted with diamonds but i still would not and not really my style type of lighter
I saw a knock off Dupont Le grand goldsmith 023011, but in gold, instead of palladium, that literally rang like a bell. Chinese made. But I think the original of that model sounds the same
Yes. Just like everything rich people gravitate towards, it's just another item to show off and signal to people that they think they're better than everyone
Yup. Some flex with cars, some boats, property, women, watches, pens, suits, shoes, cigars. even real muscles. I guess I’m different, my goal is all the above, fancy lighter included!
@@SimonPEdwards63I’d say bic the company employs a lot of ppl as well. Think of all those stick pens they’re everywhere lol. Hes right tho i read that and laughed so hard my old lady looked at me like im dumb. As I decided im gonna get at least one of these lighters and not tell her how much it costs. Ps also not rich.. just like nice things.
Inches and ozs ffs man , 😵💫🥱🥱🥱 Chinese lacquer, no ping ping 😂😂😂 A fn screwdriver wtf , mine has a tiny pusher that releases the flint holder 😮 . To use u flick the top up and Ignite with yiur trigger finger, faster easier , not rjebway u see in 99 percent videos ✌️☘️☘️☘️
This is how it should have debuted in the first place. So glad I waited for the second version with the cling.
You mean the second version of le grand have the perfect ping like the gold one in the video?
@@cw1641 Yes, the one in the video is the second version.
I just bought the Silver Version, I love it
Same here holy fuck this thing is sweet
do you edc in pocket? does it scratch?

Audio and camera work. Amazing
I use a micro torch for my cigars, i think its used for soldering or culinary reasons, i got it at harbor freight.
Thanks for the review.
I’m wondering, can you ignite the torch without first igniting the soft flame?

just got mine today and LOVE IT

Expected more
You can use newport gas that comes with the head adapters
Xikar Purofine in the silver canister fits this exact model perfectly with no adapter. I know because I tested it.
What color nozzle should I use? Newport.
@@blairsaid yeah but it's more expensive
@@SWIMMIST7 use which ever one fits the best mine are all white so can't tell you the colour
Always wanted to own one of these. ❤
Why? It runs out more quickly then a bic and you get thousands of bics for the same price.
@@DemonSliime I guess if Bic is the goals. 😂
Same here. I just love how it looks. I could never justify it at what they charge, though. 😢
Same I think I’m gonna buy a Chinese high copy 😂
Just got this yesterday
I have the laquer le grand and no ping. I wish that i have seen this video before. I also have a problem with the torch flame. It wont work alsays so i send the lighter for the waranty.
Thank you for a great video!
My fluo lighter makes a sound when it shakes. Can you hear your roller guerrilla? Is this normal?
Does it work in the freezing cold?
Are there any other good dual flame (soft and jet) that are $100-$500?
Quite a few on AliExpress which look the same. Yeah, they are ‘fake’ and some are just homages with no ‘Dupont’ on them.

Ligne 8 was my introduction to S.T. Dupont. No ping, fairly small, but it's a dual flame for less than $500
Hello, nice video :) how is it holding up? Any problems?
you should pare this ping with the ping you get upon closing the door of an air cooled 911
Good lord how much hahaha
Do you know if the Davidoff st DuPont (leaves) lighter had that style ping or the perfect ping ?
Yes, because they are ligne 2 basically.
It my true dream lighter. But I'm so poor I can't even afford a copy
just wondering do you need a plug for normal butane can refill ?
I use Newport zero imperfection gas and it comes with adapters. One of them fits perfectly but I’ve also used without an adapter and still works 👍🏼
Do you think that the quality of this vs the older le grand is the same?
I heard the newer ones perfect cling is made out entirely of brass unlike the older LeGrand models.
If I have to buy one, I would buy the newer LeGrand.
I am satisfied with my Gatsby, Ligne2 and Maxijet. All made in France baby!!
What’s the difference between gatsby and le grand?
One day.... 💜
Mine must be broken, it goes pong.....
Look up the JT Dunant it's ping blows an st dupont out of the water and it's only 40usd 😊ur welcom
Love it
Why mess with a good thing & F it up!!!
🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼 When I hit the lottery. 😢
haaa not even for me i could never justify spending that on a lighter less it comes solid gold encrusted with diamonds but i still would not and not really my style type of lighter
I get the same fire from a $2 bic lol those prices are wild
Appreciate art ❤ Not everyone needs to possess art
I love it ❤❤❤
❤
even the french dupont perfect ping still not good sound as china dupont
I have the exact same :D
Yours need adjustment. The ping is not right.
Is it something like modern art? Because what you are calling a perfect ping is utterly and indubitably underwhelming.

Go hear it in person, it's a lot better
😳
WTF 2K USD :))
Imagine spending 1500 on a lighter lol
Imagine being broke.
1500 for “ping”
@@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaintyou mean cha Ching!
Yup. Some flex with cars, some boats, property, women, watches, pens, suits, shoes, cigars. even real muscles. I guess I’m different, my goal is all the above, fancy lighter included!
Zippo ping is better
I just bought a $2 Bic. Does the same thing. Rich people care silly.
Yes, but the design and manufacture of these employs a lot of people, Bic, not so much.
@@SimonPEdwards63I’d say bic the company employs a lot of ppl as well. Think of all those stick pens they’re everywhere lol.
