Who Is It For?
The OVO is the ideal lighter for those who want serious flame power without a serious price tag. The triple jet produces a wide, hot flame that toasts large ring gauges evenly — something a single jet can struggle with. The rubber-coated grip and hinged top also make it one of the most practical lighters in the Mantis® range for outdoor use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a triple jet flame better than a single jet?
For a larger ring gauge (54+), a triple jet flame is generally more effective because it covers a wider area of the foot, allowing for a more even toast and light. A single jet is perfectly adequate for smaller ring gauges. If you primarily enjoy larger ring gauges, the OVO's triple jet is a significant practical advantage.
Is the OVO windproof?
Yes. Triple jet torch lighters are among the most wind-resistant lighter types available. The OVO performs reliably outdoors in moderate wind conditions, making it well-suited for garden, terrace, or golf course use.
What does the hinged metal top do?
The curved metal top covers the three jet nozzles when the lighter is closed, protecting them from dust, debris, and accidental activation. It opens smoothly on a hinge for immediate access and adds a premium feel to the lighter's operation.
What butane should I use to refill the OVO?
Use triple-refined butane for best results. Before refilling, bleed the tank by pressing the refill valve to release any trapped air. Refill in a cool environment with the lighter inverted. The large fuel window makes it easy to see when the tank is full.
