THEY RUN OUT SOOO FAST NOW!!!

I have always used BIC lighters for DECADES because they are always the best lighters, most reliable and long-lasting but recently, the last couple times I have bought a package of the regular size lighters, they ran out of fluid so fast! I do not keep them in my pocket or anything like that that c...ould have caused this. Always just leave them laying right on the table. It has happened with every one of them so not just a fluke or an isolated incident. I have a friend who commented and said the same. They were empty really quickly, a lot faster than usual and was out and had to go buy more again already. I said "OMG! ME TOO!" He was surprised, said he thought he just got a bad package or something but now thinks they must not be filling them up as much. I suggest maybe made the fluid chamber smaller on the inside but lighter still the same size because you would easily be able to see if they weren't filling them up all the way. But still, the shortened life of these new lighters was very noticeable so it doesn't matter whether you can see it or not, IT'S OBVIOUS. BOO ON YOU BIC if this is indeed what you are doing! I see the price hasn't gone down any and if anything, I believe it's increased. Just keeping in step with most things on the market today I guess,,, package gets smaller, quantity is less but the price goes up! I will still have to say that I would recommend them because still the best lighter out there but logging my complaint about the shortened lifespan. I wish BIC would make a refillable lighter just like the classic disposable ones but refillable! Of course will never do that because they work so well, unless you lose it or someone jacks it, a person would never have to keep buying a five pack of them weekly! I'm sure profit could be made up by selling tiny cans of over priced butane.LOL I guess BIC probably sees it as a safety issue but I don't have children OR dummies living in my household so I think it should be available for those who would like to have that option. Thanks for taking my comment and have a great day! 8^)
