The Thermolds might fit the bill for being disposable (like a Bic lighter) and I thought these polymer mags were more like Zippo lighters (terrible analogy perhaps, but it's clicking with me so I'll run with it). If that's the case, that these ARE meant to be low-cost, low performance, so be it.
This has been informative, I appreciate the constructive input!
