 Don't waste your moneyMay 14, 2008
By Oblio13
My Helios worked well for a few weeks, but then it quit when I really needed it, on a long backcountry trip. I sent it to Brunton for repair. It worked well again, but only for a few weeks. It was sent back a second time, then a third, then a fourth. Adding to the frustration, Brunton's technical support people are terrible about responding to emails requesting return authorization numbers.
When I bought my Helios, they had a lifetime warranty. Now I notice on Brunton's website that the warranty has been reduced to one year. It's easy to understand why: It's an unimpressive piece of gear backed by unimpressive service.

Stopped workingDec 11, 2008

Stopped working after a few weeks. Sent it back. Replacement stopped working again while I was 48-hours hike from the nearest road, under a few inches of rainfall, and actually needed it's functionality. Thankfully a crew member had a cheap BIC lighter than actually worked. Not only did my lighter fail but I was disappointed to have paid the amount that I did for this product when a "superior" product could be had from a convenience store. Now it just sits in my gear closet because I can't trust it to work when I need it. Note that the lighter itself was not soaked. The specific problem is that the coils do not heat. If you're thinking of taking this lighter to any sort of saturated environment, I would think twice.

Looks cool but...Oct 15, 2009
By M. Bennett
It quit working after relatively light use. It's over a year old and I'm not in the mood for arguing with Brunton about it. I'll just stop buying their products. Like others, I could have purchased a lifetime supply of Bics for what I paid for this junk. It looked like a Windmill lighter in fancier clothes but don't think it is close to that modest level of quality. I may look at Blazer. They seem to have gotten better reviews.

Head the warningSep 10, 2010
By Birds
Mine didn't work from the beginning. The flame comes on, sputters and then goes out. Don't even think of buying one of these.

Style points, but poor performanceApr 01, 2007
By Marque Lintvedt
I bought this primarily to light my MSR camp stove on camping trips and to start camp fires. After only a few uses, I have to press down on the switch several times before it glows red (other than that you can't tell it's lit) and it's completely useless for lighting my camp stove because the flame won't reach into it far enough (or at all, really). So, I have the coolest lighter made (although construction is cheap upon close inspection) that will light a camp fire only after a dozen clicks of the ignitor and I have to carry a 50ยข bic lighter to light my stove. It sure looks cool though - want to buy mine? -Q
