Hi, I've had one of these Bruce lighters for years and have yet to find a single butane lighter, disposable or otherwise, that will make the damn thing work! Total waste of money.

I've had mine years also. It works with the cheap-o clear "crack-lighters" only. Go figure.

Would you happen to have a name brand of the “Cheapo crack lighter”? I would appreciate it. I live in the metro New York area.
