S.T. Dupont Le Grand Perfect Ping

The S.T. Dupont Le Grand Perfect Ping is the latest incarnation of a lighter that has been evolving over the past seven or so years, and that offers both a soft flame and a jet torch. And it pings. Or clings, as some call it.

This is how it should have debuted in the first place. So glad I waited for the second version with the cling.

[@cw1641]

You mean the second version of le grand have the perfect ping like the gold one in the video?

[@cohibamike]

@@cw1641 Yes, the one in the video is the second version.

[@BuzzCooks]

just got mine today and LOVE IT

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

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.

[@EverythingBattletech]

I just bought the Silver Version, I love it

[@blairsaid]

Same here holy fuck this thing is sweet

[@thlee3]

do you edc in pocket? does it scratch?

[@TD-uq6lq]

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

[@Vnix]

I use a micro torch for my cigars, i think its used for soldering or culinary reasons, i got it at harbor freight.

[@Saadking47]

Expected more

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

Just got this yesterday

[@ashkan_km]

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.

[@Dash_Akol]

I love it ❤❤❤

[@lskovly]

Mine must be broken, it goes pong.....

[@harrysorandom1217]

Hello, nice video :) how is it holding up? Any problems?

[@mike53800]

Good lord how much hahaha

[@CERnoriVELO]

Do you know if the Davidoff st DuPont (leaves) lighter had that style ping or the perfect ping ?

[@pornets]

Yes, because they are ligne 2 basically.

[@MrBigPlush]

Always wanted to own one of these. ❤

[@DemonSliime]

Why? It runs out more quickly then a bic and you get thousands of bics for the same price.

[@MrBigPlush]

@@DemonSliime I guess if Bic is the goals. 😂

[@Draegoron]

Same here. I just love how it looks. I could never justify it at what they charge, though. 😢

[@832738]

Same I think I’m gonna buy a Chinese high copy 😂

[@PalParkTigers]

Does it work in the freezing cold?

[@abushafi55]

just wondering do you need a plug for normal butane can refill ?

[@madeincyprus]

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 👍🏼

[@Gizapowerplant]

One day.... 💜

[@ikemouser2580]

Are there any other good dual flame (soft and jet) that are $100-$500?

[@m2k125]

Quite a few on AliExpress which look the same. Yeah, they are ‘fake’ and some are just homages with no ‘Dupont’ on them.

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

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.

[@stampydragon2739]

You can use newport gas that comes with the head adapters

[@blairsaid]

Xikar Purofine in the silver canister fits this exact model perfectly with no adapter. I know because I tested it.

[@SWIMMIST7]

What color nozzle should I use? Newport.

[@stampydragon2739]

@@blairsaid yeah but it's more expensive

[@stampydragon2739]

@@SWIMMIST7 use which ever one fits the best mine are all white so can't tell you the colour

[@vfigueroa62]

🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼 When I hit the lottery. 😢

[@ARCSTREAMS]

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

[@adrianjenkins58]

Do you think that the quality of this vs the older le grand is the same?

[@micheltran7115]

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!!

[@beansy99]

What’s the difference between gatsby and le grand?

[@film_magician]

I get the same fire from a $2 bic lol those prices are wild

[@Assassinator237]

Appreciate art ❤ Not everyone needs to possess art

[@illbhavinagavin]

Look up the JT Dunant it's ping blows an st dupont out of the water and it's only 40usd 😊ur welcom

[@martmccars166]

I have the exact same :D

[@dudu_sopo2]

😳

[@feifei_xgod]

WTF 2K USD :))

[@michaelreale3647]

Zippo ping is better

[@Radnamrok]

Is it something like modern art? Because what you are calling a perfect ping is utterly and indubitably underwhelming.

[@pnwgolfer4798]

Imagine spending 1500 on a lighter lol

[@edenassos]

Imagine being broke.

[@thlee3]

1500 for “ping”

[@user-hr8dg3no1g]
