Good quality

2 for 15 quid, bargain, cheapest I found. These appear heavy, well made and come gift wrapped so to speak. There's an accessory pack with two wicks included also and a set of instructions. Make sure you read the instructions, don't overfill and remove the protective film from the 'flint' before use. It works well, it's designed well. If you need flints, gaskets etc they're available on e-Bay.

Fantastic but not perfect . 5*****

Works well but not every strike lights , once you learn to strike the match downwards maybe three goes before it ignites but very good , a big flame that stays lit outdoors . That's why it's a 5 star review

A match that is a lighter, robust and looks long-lasting

Firstly this is not a match! Since you have to add fuel, it is to all intents a very basic lighter without any of the refinements of (say) a ZIppo or other lighter.That said, I am delighted with this purchase! Here's why...I'm not a smoker so I do not use lighters frequently - but I am a sometime back-packer/bike-packer and for these activities I like to travel light. I have a flint and steel for lighting a small cooking fire (or more usually a Trangia stove). But I wanted a small back-up option. To be fair, I could have gone for a lighter or even a box of matches but this just appealed more.The match/lighter (even VVAY doesn't seem to know what to call it) arrived well packaged in a presentation box that also contains a spare wick; it was undamaged. It was also empty of fuel which makes sense. It looks good, and it feels quite cool to use it (sad but true).For a small unit, it feels hefty and looks well made and is finished in a brass effect. I'm a little uncertain about the way the key-ring loop is attached as it looks a little flimsy; but I'm not likely to be using that so no big issue there for me.Filling with lighter fluid is a doddle - unscrew the match and fill the barrel (it takes VERY little fuel at a time, be careful of spillage). Replace the match for a couple of mins to allow the fuel to soak in to the wick and you're good to go. To use the match/lighter you strike it along the magnesium(?) strip attached to the barrel (you will need to scrape off the protective coating on this but the match will do this anyway). It will take a bit of practice before you can make the thing light reliably. The flame also improves as the wick burns-in. The flame itself is about 3cm or so and will burn for ages - certainly enough time to light a stove or camp fire. There is enough fuel in the barrel for a few days of occasional use (say two or three times a day). The barrel is also more or less airtight so the fuel doesn't evaporate (unlike in my Zippo).It will take some practice to get the lighter to work every time but once you have the knack it is very satisfying (I usually get it to light on the second strike (it helps to re-dip the match in the barrel if you need to)! I'm not sure that it's really windproof - probably better than a match, but worse than a Zippo (other windproof lighters are available).I haven't had to do any maintenance on mine yet but I have had a look online and there are a few video resources available - it looks as if both the wick and the metal insert for the match are replaceable but I think they are likely to last for ages anyway.Some tips:The barrel that stores the match is also the fuel container - do not overfill it!Cover the hole in the end of the barrel with your thumb when striking - that way you won't lose fuel.The match is also the stopper for the barrel, it has a rubber seal on it - be careful that you don't lose this seal (it is firmly attached but you never know).After use, screw the match back in gently so that you do not cross threads.If you do overfill with fuel and have a spillage, wipe both the lighter and your hands before using the match!If you smoke then you're probably better off with a lighter; though this would look cool if asked for a light in the pub - provided it lights first time ;)Update:I stored the match away with my zippo for my next camping trip; I've just started packing for the weekend and noticed that my Zippo lighter is bone dry and out of fuel. Went to the 'match' and it lit after about the third or fourth attempt. Result! And proof that the air-tight seal does work.

Worth buying if you're willing to put in the time

tl;dr: If you're willing to adjust it and practice, this thing is well worth it!Pros:- Nice overall build quality, quite stylish, robust- Good flame, large, wind proof, hot- Nifty, eye catching product, good conversation starter- Good sparks if you need to just use it as a striking stickCons:- Takes a bit of getting used to, there's a knack to the exact striking technique- Wick needs pulling, chamber needs topping up, after every couple of successful lights- You need to block the inlet of the chamber to prevent spillage while striking- The flame isn't particularly clean, emitting a black smoke, and a strong petrolly smellTips:- Strike away from yourself, with the match tilted down- If the match doesn't light immediately, dip it back in the chamber then rough up the wick to improve surface area- If you're lighting a smoke, let the petrol burn off for a couple of seconds to prevent a bitter taste coming through- Smaller firmer strikes are better than big soft ones

Really great idea for a keyring lighter if you understand that petrol is flammable

I love these little petrol match lighters.Of course, some safety awareness is required to use them, because, as some reviewers seem to not understand, petrol is flammable. They seem to not understand that sparks and petrol create, yes, you guessed it, FIRE.Really, what did they think was going to happen?Of course they are dangerous,..... in the hands of a moron...Anyway, you put some petrol in the hole, then screw the match into it and forget about it until you need a flame.Them for the people who can't figure things out for themselves, do this:Hold the striker part in one hand and , holding it with the he pointing to the sky, that's UP, OK?PUT YOUR THUMB OBVER THE HOLE. (This will stop any leaks AND and chance of a spark igniting the fuel inside the box.Make sure the box isn't saturated with fuel, If it is, put the match back, and dry it or just wait a few minutes.So, you now have the box in one hand, thumb over the hole and the match in the other.Strike the match over the tongue that runs along the whole side of the box, steadily but sturdily Might take 2 or 3 goes, but eventually, it will spark and, hey presto, fire.When done, blow over the flame and once extinguished and quickly put back in hole and screw shut.Done.It is not difficult but if you can't master it, maybe you really shouldn't be allowed to play with matches of any type. Or be allowed out on your own even.5 out of 5 stars.

Don't Bother

********UPDATE******** Yes looks and feels nice but hardly ever lights, sparks but won't light and it uses lighter fuel quicker than our Golf R32. Save your money find something else.Well a lot nicer than I thought it would be, good solid item, quite heavy. Yes it can be tricky to light at times but it works well. Just be careful when filling it, don't go passed half full or when you put the lighter bit back in the fuel will come out, I know some videos say to 3/4 fill trust me your fuel will be all over.
