Stefan, I carry a Windmill lighter. I haven't had any problems, but then I haven't exposed it to extremes in altitude or temperature yet. I don't know if they are available in Europe. Lighters can go two ways; quality or quantity. When I took my first ( and last) hot air balloon ride, the 'pilot' looked like a street vendor. He carried no less than 12 disposable BIC lighters in case of burner failure. Thats like backing up a new Volvo with a Yugo and a E. German Trabant. I go with quality!<br><br>
