Yes, I have. It's great and feels real good quality. Has a great weight to it. The only bad thing was the DuPont flip box it came it had the tray part smashed to bits.

Where are you located? I'm in the UK and it was difficult to get it shipped here. Aliexpress won't allow lighters to be shipped to UK (I can't even buy a little leather case for the lighter either!?). I had to order a different item from the buyer and then put a picture of the item I wanted, and he changed the price. Have a word with the seller if it doesn't seem to be working for you.

For those of you thinking of the DuPont lighters, it comes without the butane gas for shipping purposes. I've got a couple of butane canisters lying around from my days of using jet lighters but having read reviews of the DuPont lighters, it seems like it won't take just any butane gas or it needs some sort of converter to fill it up. Is this correct? Hate to buy the lighter and then try to figure out how to fill it to use. Don't see a point in having a lighter that wouldn't light lol.

Anyway for those who are considering, this seller seems to be ok. Just a little pricey tho.

For the one I got, I fill it up using standard butane gas (I buy the yellow Swan canister - £1.30 from Wilkinsons) and my lighter came with a little adapter to allow filling. Really simple and easy - it's not complicated at all, so don;t be put off buying one!

For those that have asked me for a link to mine, the link is now dead and the seller's store is empty. They must have taken everything down for CNY and not yet reopened.

Well that confirms what I read that it requires an adapter. Wonder if the link I posted includes an adapter. Might just shoot the seller a message to confirm.

Yeah ask the seller, Mine came with spare flints and flint wheel as well as the little adaptor. In the UK, the Swan butane canister I bought actually had little plastic adaptors built into the lid that you can twist off and use. I've not tried them though. The adaptor I got with the lighter can be bought for a couple of quid on places like eBay etc.

Btw, these lighters do NOT take gen refills. I bought a gen gold refill for the Ligne 2 model that I have, and they do not work. Stick to generic butane gas canisters!

Has anybody been in contact with Yanmei from ShenZen Queen ( prescription eyeglasses) recently? I've sent a few messages over the past week and haven't received a reply.

I received my POC Cycling sunglasses yesterday and they're really good but the seller doesn't have them posted anymore. Should I add them to the list even though the product I ordered is gone?

David from Sneakerahead is the most reliable big player in the rep shoe market. However, pretty much all the Adidas Ultra Boosts are the same batch. Ali is way cheaper than David for UBs.

Check the Wiki on the Reddit Repneaker sub for the discount code.

Do you have a seller on Ali, I know folks talk about the accuracy with the whole nipples on the boost material

Just wondering if you had come across an LV 45 Keepall in your search. I like the 55, but I'm thinking it would be too big as a gym bag.
