Fuego Lighters Replacement Coil - 2 Coil Pack

Works like a charm. Threw it on an old vape mod, seems to work best around 80 watts. Resistance is around .19ohm. Run it a few times before using it on a cigar, seemed like it burned off some sort of coating or residue. Packaging says each one is test fired. Really good product. Nice that I can travel with a cigar lighter

This fits the Xikar X-Flame lighter - little surprise, as the X-Flame is a rebranded Fuego.This said, the lighter has become my daily driver. I prefer it over butane, as it makes me think less about lighting my cigars.The coil itself is, alas, a bit on the fragile side. It doesn't like to be dropped, nor does it like having a cigar foot pressed too firmly against it. I've had the best results from either gently having the foot against the coil or, frequently, holding the foot just over the coil but not touching. It works either way.Cleaning is the big thing here. I use the soft brush that came with my lighter to whisk away any ashes that stick, and every few cycles I'll take a toothpick and kind of scrape the heater bars (just under the coil) clean. Gently, of course, It seems to help with longevity, but even at that I will get about a month or so of regular use out of this before the coil grate gets too worn out to heat evenly. This is a month of about 3-5 cigars a day. Bottom line here, take care of the coil, don't let it get grungy or caked over with baked-on soot, and you'll be fine.It's a good product, and I like it a lot!

First of all, let me start by saying that this is one of my favorite cigar lighters. The coil is an ingenious design and lights cigars beautifully. Unfortunately, the housing it sits in is made to fail. These coils get extremely hot to the point that it will destroy itself, its own support, and most likely the battery in a matter of days.Unlike most 510 coils that use heat resistant silicone grommets, this coil uses a heat resistant plastic to hold the contact pin in the center of the 510 thread. The excessive heat makes this plastic break down much faster than silicone and quickly deteriorates after a few dozen lights. The other end of the pin is screwed to a metal bridge with a plastic spacer underneath. As the plastic breaks down, the pin starts to shift and the plastic spacer is no longer tight against the bottom of the housing. The whole bridge will start to rotate over time, making the contact pin even more unstable as it whittles away at its own support. The tiny philip head screw that holds the pin to the bridge will become loose and the pin will wobble around. This screw is impossible to reach unless you bend or cut the coil grill in the center...something you don't want to do. Eventually the pin will short circuit with the 510 thread and the whole coil is now useless.If you're lucky enough to get a coil that doesn't melt its own 510 connector, the coil grill itself will deteriorate. The grill is made out of Kanthal, similar to Nichrome (used to make vape coils). It's extremely thin and it's being stretched over the bridge and held down with two screws on each side of the bridge that can't be seen. Over time, the heat of itself will deteriorate the grill and the screws will lose their hold, causing either a short or a break. Either way it's toast....literally.What bugs me most is that Fuego knows all about this. At one time, the bottom of the housing had a groove that the plastic bridge would sit in to prevent rotating. They decided to do away with it probably to cut costs and because it didn't help much in the long run. The pin would always destroy its own support. After disassembling 3 of these damaged coils, I could tell that they are all hand assembled. Every one of the tiny philip head screws looked stripped, caused by the need to make it as tight as possible so it doesn't fail sooner.These coils should really be marketed as disposable, because every single person who ever bought them will eventually throw them away. To charge $25 for two of them is just plain greedy. Fuego knows you'll want to buy more, and that's the whole point of not fixing this easily fixable problem after being 5 years on the market.

These work great. Starting to prefer them over torch lighters. You don’t have to worry about butane ever again with these

Works great

I hope these are alway available. I love this lighter!

This works well until the extremely thin heating element breaks just like a fuse breaks at its weak point. If a little more material was used or another method of supporting it structurally, I’d pay 4x the price.

Neither coil work on the fuego battery. also the new ones feel cheap compared to the ones I bought a few years ago much lighter
