Reviews seem to confirm your experience. Hmmm...I was gonna try it out for $15, but I'm thinking I'll save myself the time. Thanks!
Totally agree with this assessment. I bit at the last deal on this figuring bad reviews were just user error. This is more of a pain than it is worth and there are cheaper options that probably work better.
I was just playing around with the lighter before I wrote this comment. Here's the trick... just take the base inside of the bottom of your right thumb (if right handed) and press hard against the safety lock at back of lighter. At that point, just a quick and hard pull of the front trigger with your trigger finger lights it up almost every time on the first click.

The above said, this is a real torch... not a play thing. That safety button on the back should prevent a child, with weaker and smaller hands and fingers from burning their face off. So, the safety mechanism that Zippo engineered here, that is being derided, is really a very good thing. Also, once the butane lighter is lit... you do NOT have to continually press on that back safety button (it's just there for initial lighting).
Finally, if you also bought a Yankee Candle from one of those other FP SD deals, there's no cooler way to light a candle...
