i have the same type but its not exactly the same model, ive had mine for several years and can't find them anymore. mine is actually a butane lighter inside so if it breaks you just pop to tesco and pop another 99p lighter in

I was in a similar situation to you, so bought an Iroda MJ-950. Works great.
