one question:
is the Original Vapman jetflame (from their site/ here)
https://shop.vapman.com/product_info.php?products_id=64&osCsid=4p8tpcm8ktkmn4iqgbdubr7fb5
the "best"?
Or will any other work as same?
Actually, that's two questions? Here's my opinion on them:
Yes. While 'the best' is a difficult goal, I think most agree the 'factory lighter' is an excellent choice for the VM, and 'performs with the best of them'.
Yes, others will work just as well at making vapor and be reliable doing so. I've used and recommended these for years. 3 bucks each shipped, tough as nails, IMO 'fits the hand better':

Both are the same, I've ordered a dozen or more from them (probably an even split) and given a lot away. Lots of guys at FC have bought them for VM, VG and so on. Handy for lighting candles (there's one in the kitchen), the BBQ (one out there), the oil lamp on the patio (.......) and so on. I never have to search far to find one. Great for 'flaming clean' screens and stuff (like the VM concentrate adapters).
They come from China (well one batch came from Hungary???) and can take a few weeks. I suggest ordering one or two from each source.
Another good point is they're not at all fussy about fuel. I feed mine the cheapest junk they had at the Cigarette Shop downtown. It's sure to be better than what you get in 'darkest China'? They still burn the fancy stuff I use in Iolite, but are just as happy at $4 a can as $15.
I like my VM lighter, but worry about it. The cheap ones I can't seem to hurt. Or lose for long.
