DOES DÉFI XXTRÊME USE MORE GAS THAN DÊFI EXTRÊME?
Two torch flames require more gas than one torch flame, but having two flames allows a quicker and complete cigar ignition with only one use. With a single torch flame lighter, you may need to light it several times to ignite the cigar. Depending on the usage, the debit is quite balanced between one flame and two flames.
HOW SHOULD I USE MY LIGHTER IN HIGH ALTITUDE?
Thanks to the S.T. Dupont RED gas refill with propane, the Défi XXtrême lighter can be used in extreme weather conditions. This is why we strongly advise our customers to only use S.T. Dupont gas refills and not mix with any other gas.
In higher altitudes, there is less oxygen in the air. Since oxygen is part of the flame combustion, this can affect the right ignition of the lighter.
Internal pressure can also differ according to the external temperature. The colder it is, the lower the pressure is and this can lead to a low gas debit and smaller flame. This is why we advise to adjust the gas level in order to find the perfect setting to ignite the lighter.
HOW CAN I DIFFERENTIATE DÊFI EXTRÊME AND DÊFI XXTRÊME?
Défi Extréme was the first S.T. Dupont lighter dedicated to extreme weather, temperature, and high altitudes that utilized a single torch flame and featured a dynamic and strong design. The new Défi XXtrême, with its powerful, double torch flame and super-covering bumpers that protect the sides and the top of the lighter. This is a must-have accessory for the most extreme cigar aficionados, who are always looking for a new and outstanding lighting experience. For this lighter, designers worked on a new special horizontal guilloche to adorn the new bumpers.
