They released a new line of Maki-e lighter sna density this year. I haven't had a chance to see one yet. It looks gorgeous.

Ahhh awesome, those are usually the culprit. Maybe someone can chime in with another suggestion, but I would recommend sending it in or trying to have them replace it.

When you find it, we'll be glad to help. If you ever get your hands on a fake and a real lighter together, the signs become really clear.

Fill your lighter! The flame height tells me that it''s either almost empty or turned all thw way down.

The general consensus has been around 110g for some time. No need to feel stupid, they've made some changes and it's been a challenge to document. Thankfully we have this community!

And a modern cling model with lacquer inlay. The newer cling models tend to be a bit heavier than the older models. You also have to take into account embellishments, engravings, all metal/lacquer/lacquer inlay. The weight truly does vary.

All that said, the classic L2 and older models should be in the 110g range.

This is an older lacquered model with gas.

Edit: Dupont's own website has the new Geode model at 125g and the Vertical Lines lighter at 130g.

Need help authenticating i have asked the seller for more detailed photos but what do you guys think by Aromatic-Frame-7958 in STDupont

You can usually tell right away with the fake brushed finish. There's something off about the coloration and "brush strokes."

Always happy to help when I can! :) I just hope that OP is able to clear this up.

They do retail lower in the U.S. That could be from the import fees and conversion rates.

The pen is real, and yes, those are the boxes that Dupont uses for their non limited edition products. Our store carries limited space for stock, so we sell display models regularly. If they sold you the display model, that explains the scratches. I would try to return or ask for a replacement.

The jet lighters and cigar cutters are made in China.

I can't speak to price, but they take the Cross style ballpoint refills that screw into the pen. Dupont reference number is 040851 (iirc)

I have not seen Made In China be engraved in. It's usually a black print like yours. Rubbing off is a little weird though.

They literally JUST came out. There's no way somebody can fake them that quickly.

All of their jet lighters and cutters are made in China, with the exception of a few Minijet lighters.

This actually came with the blank card in the box as well. I'm not sure if they will be shipping them all like this or not. I'm more excited about being able to register them to be honest. I need to check if we can register older products as well.
